Bach flower remedies are a form of energy medicine that was developed by Dr Edward Bach in the 1930s. These remedies are made from the flowering tops of various plants and trees. They are designed to address specific emotional and mental states. They are believed to work by bringing balance and harmony to the individual. They help individuals overcome negative emotions and behaviours. These remedies also help develop a greater sense of peace and well-being.
There are many potential benefits of Bach flower remedies, including:
- Energy balancing: Bach flower remedies can help to balance the body’s natural energy systems, which can lead to improved physical and emotional health.

We utilise both the Bach and other systems of flower essences and remedies for those who consult with us.

Frequency of Use
Most flower essences can be used directly from the ‘stock’ bottle. This is the dilution level at which essences are most often sold. A typical usage schedule consists of four drops directly in the mouth. You can also add them to a glass of water. This should be done four times daily. Because of the particularly dynamic nature of daily awakening and retiring, the most important times may be immediately upon waking. Another important time is just before going to sleep. The other two times may be before lunch. You can also choose times that best suit your daily rhythms when arriving home from work. Sixteen drops can also be added to a water bottle. This method allows the drops to be taken throughout the day. It is very effective for those with a busy schedule who otherwise may forget to take their essences.
Duration of Use
Flower essences work on an emotional level. This is sometimes described as the ‘soul level’. It is important to remember that changes are best made gradually. Flower essence therapy has been most successful when the essences are taken regularly, most often for about 1 month, for changes in ‘core’ emotional issues to be seen. Some essences, like Rescue Remedy, are blended to have an effect regarding a recent (minutes, hours, days) traumatic event. Still other essences, like ‘Impatiens’ – used to calm an impatient aspect of personality – works fairly quickly in some cases. One user regularly felt the effect within 10 minutes while the impatience was still a significant part of his personality, with the entire personality aspect being slowly washed away after long-term use. So, in most instances, if trying to clear or change some significant part of your soul makeup, try at least a few weeks of regular use.

Dilution and Blending
Flower Essences can be further diluted from the ‘stock bottle’ (the ‘dilution level’ available on this site) to a ‘dosage bottle’ for regular use. You can add 1 or more droppers from the stock bottle to a clean 30ml dropper bottle. Fill the rest of the bottle with spring water, which is optimal. Alternatively, use other clean water sources. Blends can also be made this way, adding 1 or more droppers from each flower essence to the 30ml dropper bottle, and filling the rest with spring water. The receiving bottle should either be new or boiled in water to remove old residue – because of the nature of flower essences, they can pick up etheric vibration left over. Also, whenever using flower essences from the stock bottle, be conscious of not touching the dropper tip to anything – your tongue, hands, another bottle, etc. – to help maintain the vibrational purity of the flower essence.
Dilution Effects
Effects of essence dilution vary for different people. Some do not find the effect as pronounced with a dilution from the stock level. Others find the effect just as significant. Dilution is usually best for children. It can be done from a dosage bottle or from the stock bottle into a glass of water. This method can also be good for alcohol-sensitive persons. There is a small amount of brandy in every drop. If you decided not to dilute, you can make a blend by adding equal amounts of each essence to a clean dropper bottle. Use the blend from there unless you intend to have more of one essence than another.
