Bach flower remedies were discovered by Dr Bach, renowned
physician in London who in 1930 gave up his practice to devote all of his time
to the search for a new method of healing. For many years he had sought a
natural and pure way to heal people; he had discovered how different people
reacted differently to the exact same disease. One could be cheerful and hide
his worries while another would be very depressed with no hope for tomor-row.
Dr Bach believed that those two patients should be treated differently, not
strictly according to the disease, but according to their emotions. It was in
1928 Dr Bach discovered the first 38 essences and started to adminis-ter them
to his patients, with immediate and successful results. Each of the 38 remedies
discovered by Dr Bach is directed at a particular characteristic or emotional
state. The cheerful patients would acknowledge their worries, and the depressed
patients would regain hope. The essences restored their emotional balance
allowing their bodies to heal themselves.
The 38 plants and their indications are as follows:
· Agrimony for people who put a brave
face on their troubles
· Aspen for people who are anxious or
afraid but don’t know why
· Beech for people who are intolerant
and critical of others
· Centaury for people who allow others
to impose on them
· Cerato for people who doubt their
own judgment
· Cherry Plum for uncontrolled,
irrational thoughts and the fear of doing something awful
· Chestnut Bud for people who repeat
mistakes and don’t learn from experience
· Chicory for over-possessive, selfish
people who cling to their loved ones
· Clematis for day dreamers
· Crab Apple for those who dislike
something about the way they look and as a general cleanser
· Elm for responsible, capable people
who in a crisis doubt their ability to cope
· Gentian for people disheartened when
something goes wrong
· Gorse for people who have lost hope,
often without cause
· Heather for talkative types who are
obsessed with their own problems
· Holly for negative feelings of
hatred, envy, jealousy and suspicion
· Honeysuckle for people who live in
the past
· Hornbeam for mental tiredness at the
thought of a coming task
· Impatiens for impatience and
irritation at other people’s slowness
· Larch for fear of failure and lack
of confidence

something real that they can name Mustard for gloom and depression with no
known cause
