Dr. Edward Bach (1886-1936), after conventional training in London's University College Hospital and practice for several years, gradually became more interested in the effects personality had on health and healing. He developed several oral vaccines while in the employ of the Homeopathic Hospital (London) and it was there he first began his research.

Through observation, and a great deal of work, he developed the first two of what would become 38 remedies. It is through his belief that not only symptoms (body) should be treated, but the mind, soul and cause (spiritual)should be treated as well, that we now have an amazing tool with which to heal. Of the 38 remedies, only 36 are single essence, flower based. One is meral based, and the other, Rescue Remedy®, is a combination of five of the flower remedies.

The remedies work on the root cause of disease by finding key factors in the personality, following the tenet - "...disease being the result of conflict between mortal and spiritual selves..." It only stands to reason, therefore, that you must find within yourself, or your recipient, those key points. It is because the treatment is to the individual rather than the symptom, that every person with a similar disease may require different remedies. There are no ill effects if a remedy or remedies are taken in conjunction with conventional medicine, nor are there debilitating effects if the wrong remedy is chosen - it just won't have any effect in that case.

Using one to two drops of the remedy in a cup of water, or one drop on the tongue taken four times daily, the remedy should be held in the mouth for a moment prior to swallowing. The remedies have a shelf life of approximately five years.

Below you'll find the list of 38 Remedies. Please remember that this information is not to be used in place of the advice of a doctor.
