After spending many years observing his patient's personalities Dr Edward Bach, a Harley street specialist, came to the conclusion that fear and anger-the destroyers of health and happiness-caused illness to manifest in our bodies. This revolutionary theory explains how we create our illness through mental and emotional 'dis-ease'.

Convinced that nature was a limitless storehouse providing us with remedies to cure all ills, Dr. Bach abandoned fame and fortune to search for his 38 remedies. These deal with moods such as impatience, known and unknown fears, panic shock etc. as well as personality traits such as being critical and intolerant over sensitive, indecisive, overly obliging etc.

The remedies are designed to help us transform our lives by changing our attitudes. However most people seem to use them for temporary relief, like taking an aspirin for a headache. Unlike children who are still 'open' and respond quickly to the remedies, adults' unconscious self programming tend to block change. By affirming we are 'worriers', lack confidence, are victims etc. we send a message that cancels the remedies. In contrast, positive intent and affirmations open the door to change.

The 38 Bach flower remedies, along with rescue remedy used for emergencies, are popular worldwide. They are safe, effective and inexpensive.
