Making your life greener - one bite at a time.

British physician, Edward Bach (1886-1936),developed Bach’s flower therapy in the 1930s.Bach flower therapy is a type of homeopathic aromatherapy.Bach claimed to have psychically or intuitively discovered the healing effects of 38 wildflowers.

He believed that wildflowers had certain healing effects that could be effective for humans. His discoveries came about while he was walking through some flowers and noted how dewdrops on a plant would absorb some properties from the plant, heated by the sun. These properties could then be extracted to make essences for people to use.

Certain wildflowers, claimed by Bach, would have an affiliation to the human soul in terms of their energy. This energy would then be transferred into pure water, mixed with pure flower essence and brandy to make a homeopathic solution for human consumption. The water would have a sweet taste with a strong pungent flower influx, which would help with your inner soul and transfer its energy to your body helping you to recover from certain illnesses.

Some people agree with Bach and his theory and believe that illnesses are caused by an underlying conflict between the human soul and the personality. The 38 flowers used, balance certain emotions and pains. Some doctors do not agree with this method and there is no scientific background or knowledge to prove this theory and it is therefore considered an alternative form of treatment. For this reason, it has been gaining much popularity as alternative medicines become more acceptable in our societies. Bach Flower Essences gently help to achieve harmony and balance to all aspects of our being.

The benefits of flowers have been known for a long time, even before Bach and his theory. We know that plants such as Tea Tree Oil is good for skin and Aloe Vera is good for soothing effects. Certain flower essences are good for calming and relaxing, and teas made from certain flowers can be drunk to help a healthy lifestyle such as green tea, chamomile, jasmine and arnica.

Others have followed in Bach’s footsteps. For example in California, the Forget-Me-Not flower is known for increasing awareness of karma and its relationships and Mugwort is beneficial for awareness of dreams and subliminal control of one’s ability to be psychic.

It is important to realize what flowers can be beneficial for you health and which flowers are not. Some plants and flowers can be poisonous and therefore, one should not simply just try different flower and plant essences without strict understanding and instruction prior to taking it. The effects can be damaging if no study is undertaken. For the practice of Bach Flower therapy it's recommended to attend the courses of the Official International Bach Education Program.
