Feel Bach! Flower Remedies are a system of 38 plant- and flower-based essences first developed in the 1930s by Dr. Edward Bach. They are prepared by infusing fresh flowers in spring water (sun-steeped or boiled), then highly diluting and preserving the liquid—usually with brandy, though glycerine versions exist. Each remedy corresponds to a specific negative emotion and is intended to restore emotional balance and support the body’s natural healing process.

Feel Bach! Flower Therapy refers to the practice of using Feel Bach! Flower Remedies to address emotional imbalances and promote overall well-being. It involves identifying specific emotional states and selecting the corresponding flower essences to help restore harmony.

A flower remedy, like the Feel Bach! Flower Remedies, is a highly diluted infusion of a flower or plant that is used to address emotional and mental states. It is believed to work on a vibrational level to bring about emotional balance.

Flower essences, such as Feel Bach! Flower Remedies, are liquid infusions of flowers or plants. They are prepared by infusing fresh flowers in water, then diluting and preserving the resulting liquid. They are used to address emotional and mental well-being rather than physical symptoms.

Dr. Bach theorised that each flower carries a positive vibrational pattern that can rebalance a matching negative emotion. By restoring emotional harmony, the remedies are thought to support self-healing. This energetic mechanism has not been proven scientifically.

Delicate blooms are placed in spring water under sunlight for several hours (sun method); woodier plants are simmered for about 30 minutes (boiling method). The resulting mother tincture is filtered, then fortified 1:1 with brandy and further diluted to create retail stock bottles.

Feel Bach! Flower Remedies are made by infusing fresh flowers or plants in natural spring water, using either the sun method (placing delicate blooms in water under sunlight) or the boiling method (simmering woodier plants). The resulting 'mother tincture' is then filtered and diluted with brandy to create the stock bottles.

Feel Bach! Flower Remedies were developed by Dr. Edward Bach (1886-1936), a British physician, bacteriologist, homeopath, and spiritual writer. He created the system of 38 flower essences in the 1930s, believing that emotional disharmony was the root cause of physical illness.

‘Bach’ is most commonly pronounced “Batch” (rhymes with “catch”), though Dr. Bach originally said “Baytch.”

Feel Bach! Flower Remedies are based on the original 38 flower essences discovered by Dr. Edward Bach in the 1930s. The methods of preparation and intended use remain consistent with his original philosophy.

Because they are extremely diluted, direct side-effects are not expected. Traditional stock bottles are preserved in brandy (~27 % alcohol), which may be unsuitable for people who must avoid alcohol. Alcohol-free (glycerine) versions are available. If pregnant, under medical treatment, or unsure, consult a professional.

Feel Bach! Flower Remedies are highly diluted and generally considered safe with no direct side effects expected. However, traditional stock bottles contain brandy as a preservative, which may be a concern for those avoiding alcohol. Glycerine-based, alcohol-free versions are available.

Stock bottles carry an expiration date linked to the brandy preservative; the energetic essence is believed to last indefinitely, but taste may deteriorate. Personal mixes (diluted in water) should be used within 2–3 weeks unless brandy or glycerine is added.

Remedies often chosen for low mood include Gentian (discouragement), Gorse (hopelessness), Mustard (sudden gloom), Sweet Chestnut (extreme anguish), Star of Bethlehem (shock or grief), Willow (resentment), and Wild Rose (apathy). Choose based on your specific feelings, and consult a healthcare professional for clinical depression.
