Bach Flower Remedies

Bach Flowers can be taken individually or in combination by using up to seven essences at once. A combination formula lasts approximately three weeks.

• Take two drops of any individual essence under the tongue or in a glass of water.
• Or combine two drops of each essence of your choice and mix with spring water to make your Bach Flower formula.
• If mixing with other essences Rescue Remedy is considered one essence.

Bach Flower Essences address the emotional state of an individual and take into account one's mood and personality traits as well. Bach Flowers help to decrease negative emotions and turn them into positive ones.

When choosing an essence, try to distinguish the primary cause of the feeling or emotion. Here are a few examples.

• Feeling overworked mentally and physically, exhausted or recovering from illness? Use Olive
• Do you feel like you just don't want to do what you have to do? Do you feel tired just thinking about what you have to do? Use Hornbeam
• Typically you can handle all challenges ahead, but one more thing has been put upon you; you don't think you can handle any more - you don't think you can go on. Try Elm
• Are you typically multi-tasking, over-responsible and need to keep on and do not take time to rest? Use Oak

Some people report quick results – a feeling of calm, a sense of peace, clearer thinking, less sense of physical tension. However, the longer the negative behavior or emotional state has been experienced; one may need more time to experience relief.

These marvelous flowers can be taken in short intervals to relieve changing moods, or over a longer period of time to address a deeper issue. You may use the same combination or re-evaluate your need for other essences, as you may experience relief from your original complaint and other feelings may arise in your healing process.

NOTE: The Bach Flowers are never chosen based on physical symptoms. This system of healing hones in on feelings and emotions in order to increase one's ability to attain wellness.
