Bach Essences

Intrigued as to how flower essences work?

Nearly 100 years ago Dr. Edward Bach discovered 38 wildflowers that positively affect our emotions. He created a simple system of healing and called it the Bach Flower Remedies. In combination the Bach Flower Remedies can restore emotional balance and promote joy and happiness for humans and their animal companions.

The remedies work in harmony with herbs, homeopathy, and medications, and are safe for everyone, including children, pregnant women, pets, and the elderly.

Dr. Bach made sure the system was easy to use and understand, and millions of people around the world still use it today.

I truly believe that flower essences are a magical gift to us from the plant world that may help us maintain good health and wellbeing.

Read how the Bach Essences harness the power from each single flower to support a specific emotional need.
