In the 1930s, the Englishman Dr. Edward Bach defined 38 basic emotional states and developed corresponding flower essences. These are known as the Original Bach® Flowers. He used the flowers of wild plants and trees as well as rock water to produce them. The Original Bach® Flowers can help us to face the emotional challenges of daily life. Identifying your own emotional reactions as accurately as possible is the key to choosing the right Original Bach® flower essences. Try to observe exactly how you feel in your current situation. You can use the Original Bach® Flower Essences individually or put together a Bach® Flower Blend that is tailored to your particular emotional situation. The well-known Original RESCUE® blend was selected according to Edward Bach's ideals for supporting emotional well-being.
