Bach florals are essences of flowers and plants that can be used as a complementary treatment against diseases and emotional imbalances. They have no side effects or contraindications, and can be used by all ages, even children.
The flower therapy is completely natural and uses 38 types of essences in all, each essence having a different indication and can be taken alone or mixed depending on the symptoms or emotions felt at the time.
One of Bach's flower principles is that the individual's emotional state influences physical well-being by producing or curing illness. Positive thinking is thought to help heal illnesses and promote well-being, and negative thoughts can cause physical or emotional illness. Based on this principle, Bach's floral doctor has developed various essences which, when ingested, can assist in curing physical or emotional illnesses.
