Bach flower remedies

Bach flower remedies

Bach flower remedies are a system of flower essences developed by Dr Edward Bach between 1926 and 1934. They are used as support for emotional wellbeing and are intended to help people regain a greater sense of inner balance during periods of stress, fear, unease, sadness, insecurity or emotional overload.

The system consists of 38 essences, each traditionally associated with a particular emotional state. The aim of flower therapy is to offer gentle, personalised support, considering not only what a person feels but also how they experience and respond to each situation.

Bach flower remedies are commonly used in wellbeing approaches focused on emotional support, stress management and a more balanced mood. People may turn to them during periods of change, emotional tiredness, worry, discouragement or difficulty finding calm and clarity.

Essences are selected individually according to each person's current circumstances and emotional state, allowing the approach to be tailored in a personal and attentive way.

• Fear, insecurity or inner unease.
• Stress, emotional tension or a feeling of overload.
