They are a simple and natural method of healing through the use of certain wild flowers. The remedies, which treat the personality disorders of the patient rather than the individual physical condition, were discovered in the 1930’s by Dr Edward Bach. After many years of practice in conventional medicine as well as homeopathy Edward Bach was led to the realization that what characterized the physical disorders of different people was not so much the many categories of disease but the psychological conditions - which led him to find in each case an appropriate remedy. The remedies were found in the flowers of the field and the trees of the countryside – in nature’s God-given healing power.
According to Bach, certain flowers are of a ‘higher order’ and hold a greater power than the ordinary medicinal plants that heal the body from a biochemical level. The true healing plants, he believed, address disharmony within the mental and spiritual aspects of our being. They transmute negative emotions such as fear, melancholy, and hatred into courage, joy and love; and in this manner, they correct the cause of our ills.
