"Where flowers bloom so does hope."
"I wandered lonely as a cloud
That floats on high o'er vales and hills,
When all at once I saw a crowd,
A host, of golden daffodils;
Beside the lake, beneath the trees,
Fluttering and dancing in the breeze.
"
William Wordsworth
"We need old friends to help us grow and new friends to keep us young."
Bach Flower Remedies
The 38 remedies were the life's work of Dr Edward Bach, a respected Harley Street doctor, pathologist and bacteriorologist. Dr Bach grew dissatisfied with orthodox medicine and its concentration on isolated symptoms. He came to believe that unhappiness and fear led to ill-health, and that true healing meant arresting disease at its emotional source, before the physical symptoms appear. He sought to find a way of treating the whole person by way of the emotions.
Dr Bach studied homeopathy when he worked at the London Homeopathic Hospital.
From that system he got the idea of preparing remedies to treat the personality.
Dr Bach himself had a brush with death in July 1917 when he haemorrhaged and
collapsed. He was rushed to hospital where surgeons removed a cancerous growth
and told him he had only months to live. His commitment to his research led
him back to his laboratory as soon as he could walk. As time passed he became
stronger and this experience strengthened his belief in the power of the mind
and emotion over illness. He had got better because he had a purpose in life
and was determined to see his project through. If other sick people could
rediscover their sense of purpose then they may be able to overcome their
illnesses.
Dr Bach died a year after announcing that he had completed his work ~ a system of 38 flower remedies that can help us rediscover the positive side of ourselves (19 years after the diagnosis that he had a matter of months to live). Dr Bach's remedies can help us live emotionally healthy lives. Whatever is in our way ~ fear, despondency, uncertainty ~ a solution can be found in the Bach Original Flower Remedies.
You
can use the remedies to overcome everyday bad feelings. You can use them when
you are ill because most doctors agree that good emotional health supports
and aids the recovery of physical health. You can use them to move on in your
life and to find your hidden strengths and potential.
