Who is Dr. Edward Bach?
Dr. Edward Bach was a British Physician who began to see disease as an end
product, a final stage, a physical manifestation of unhappiness, fear and worry.
He therefore began to look to nature to find healing flowers. Over a period of years,
Dr. Bach found 38 healing flowers and plants that, with the right preparation, became
the 38 Bach Flower Essences. These Essences are enough to cover all the negative emotional
states that are possible.

How do I take the Bach Flower Essences?
Take 4 drops 4 times per day from a 30ml/1ounce treatment bottle until relief is
obtained. As an alternative, put two drops in a glass of water and sip at intervals.
If no water is available, the Essences can be used undiluted either in the mouth, on
the skin behind the ears or on the inside of the wrist.
To prepare a treatment bottle, fill a 1 ounce bottle with fresh spring water and add
2 drops of each Essence. You can combine up to 6 or 7 Essences in a treatment bottle.
As a preservative (optional), you can use 1 tsp. brandy, apple cider vinegar or vegetable
glycerin in the treatment bottle.

What is Rescue Remedyİ & Rescue Remedy Creamİ?
Dr. Bach created an emergency combination of Essences which he called Rescue Remedy.
It contains five different Essences: Star of Bethlehem, Clematis, Impatiens, Cherry Plum

stress. Rescue Remedy helps you to manage difficult situations, stressful events, an exam
or job interview in a calm and relaxed manner.

What happens if I take too much of the Essences?
It is impossible to overdose with the Bach Flower Essences. They are 100% natural
and safe. You can drink a whole bottle of Essences and not "overdose". However, if
you think that "more is better", you are wrong. The Bach Flower Essences work best
over a period of time, when taken from the treatment or stock bottle at least 4 times a day.

What happens if I take the wrong Essence?
Nothing will happen if you take the wrong Essence.
The Essences only work on the energy level with which we are having problems.
For example, if you have a "known fear" (MIMULUS) and take ASPEN "unknown fear",
nothing will happen. Your "known fear" will remain and ASPEN will not do anything to you.

Why are the Essences sometimes called Remedies?
In the U.S. they are called Essences, and in England they are
called Remedies. Books written in England refer to them as Remedies.

What are the differences between Essential Oils and The Bach Flower Essencesİ?
Essential Oils: As the name implies, these oils are from different plants and flowers. They are very strong-smelling. Some of them should be avoided by people with different illnesses, pregnancy, sun exposure, etc. Essential oils are produced internationally; however, the quality of the oils can easily be very different because some farmers cheat and mix in cheap oils.
Bach Flower Essences İ: They do not smell, other than from the brandy used as a preservative. They can never do any harm to anyone at any time. They are made by infusing wild flowers from a certain area in England.
The Bach Flower Essences are considered homeopathic. The Bach Flower Essences are produced in England using the procedures from Dr. Edward Bach who died in 1936. Dr. Bach was VERY specific about the procedures for making the Essences. Before he died, Dr. Bach told his assistants that many people would try to imitate and copy the Essences. His assistants had to promise NEVER to alter the 38 Essences. Dr. Bach knew that there would be no need for more than the 38 Essences and that the directions that he had given were the best possible.
