Bach & Flower Remedies Explained

Flower remedies are dilute liquid preparations made from flowers, traditionally used to address emotional states such as fear, uncertainty, or grief rather than physical illness. The best-known system, the 38 Bach flower remedies, was developed by British physician Dr. Edward Bach in the 1930s. Flower remedies are not classified as medicines, have not been proven in controlled studies to produce effects beyond placebo, and are not a substitute for medical or mental-health care. This section explains the Bach system, the well-known Rescue Remedy combination, and the broader category of flower essences, including the Indian flower remedies also covered in this institute's Level 2 syllabus.
