Dr. Bach Remedies

Dr. Bach Flower Remedies

Dr Bach's inspiration to develop his flower remedies came from the fact that he felt dissatisfied with the way doctors were expected to concentrate on diseases and ignore the whole person. He aspired to a more holistic approach to medicine and wanted to find remedies that would be purer and less reliant on the products of disease. 

He began collecting plants and in particular flowers - the most highly-developed part of a plant - in the hope of replacing the seven homoeopathic nosodes that he had previously produced with a series of gentler remedies.

At this point he determined to devote the rest of his life to the new system of medicine that he was sure could be found in nature.  Over years of trial and error, which involved preparing and testing thousands of plants, he found one by one the remedies he wanted.
