Here you will find both images and descriptions of each remedy with the original remedy description quoted from Dr. Bach. He described each remedy as a "state of mind" or "type of personality" that the particular flower would treat. The remedies are designed to treat the person and the emotions by gently bringing you from the negative and extreme toward a balanced and positive state of mind.
Bach's writings focused on individual freedom to follow the path that meets the needs of the individual's "soul" and "spirit". He believed each one of us is born with our own special and individual gifts and abilities that we are meant to use with confidence, self-assurance, and love. The remedies that he developed therefore bring freedom, health and healing to our lives allowing us to leave behind old ideas, limitations and fears that hold us back from a fulfilling and joyful existance.
