ABOUT BACH FLOWER REMEDIES
Dr Bach was a medical doctor working in England during the early 1900s. The focus of his life’s work was his great desire to find a simple and effective form of treatment that would be available for all to understand and use.
Through his work he recognised that to bring about real healing it was necessary to treat the cause of illness rather than the symptoms. He believed that the true cause of illness and disease lies in the personality – in the mental and emotional patterns through which we view ourselves and the world around us. To treat these personality patterns he developed 38 remedies, known as the Bach Flower Remedies, and used by many people around the world.
Each remedy is a correcting vibration for a state of mind or emotion that needs to be balanced. Since the body is a direct reflection of the mind, transforming negative vibrations into positive vibrations allows the body to respond naturally, thus restoring better health. These remedies can be taken by anyone without fear of side effects, overdosing or addiction. They can be used in conjunction with other forms of treatment however they are not intended to replace medical care.

SCLERANTHUS ... Scleranthus Annuus
Keyword - Balance & Decisiveness Bach Group - Uncertainty
Scleranthus helps to restore the qualities of balance and decisiveness in the personality. Those in need of Scleranthus can be gripped by crippling indecision when faced with a choice between two things. In this situation they will usually weigh things up and ‘um & ah’ for a long time. Emotionally they can swing from one extreme to another very easily and may become quickly tearful. Mentally they can have a tendency to respond to outside stimulus rather like a grasshopper, making it hard for them to concentrate in the negative state. Scleranthus helps to restore one’s inner point of balance creating a greater connection with the Soul and one’s own inner direction.
STAR OF BETHLEHEM ... Ornithogalum Umbellatum
Keyword - Transforming Shock Bach Group - Despair and Despondency
Star of Bethlehem is helpful in any situation where shock or trauma of any kind has been experienced, whether immediate or in the past. If this essence is given immediately in situations of shock and trauma it will help to take away the numbing effect and assist the body to mobilise its self-healing abilities. This should obviously not replace medical assistance, but could enhance it. This remedy can be very beneficial for those who retain shock or trauma at some level from past situations and events. Situations such as bereavement, accident, sudden loss of job, divorce, ‘bad’ news etc are all situations that might call for the help of Star of Bethlehem.
SWEET CHESTNUT … Castanea Sativa
Keyword - The light at the end of the tunnel Bach Group - Despair & Despondency
Sweet Chestnut’s gift is its ability to restore our connection to our Soul’s light and love. In the acute state those in need of Sweet Chestnut feel that they have reached the limits of their endurance and are at the end of the road. In this extreme state they feel an absolute and utter despair or hopelessness – a state of desolation in which they feel isolated from the rest of mankind. Often described as ‘the dark night of the soul’ this state can be experienced when the personality is faced with the challenge of confronting itself. The ‘back to the wall’ feeling is the result of the personality’s resistance to make the inner change necessary to move to the next level of consciousness, so this uncomfortable state can sometimes precede a big movement forward. Sweet Chestnut brings back the light and joy to life, dissolving the darkness.
VERVAIN ... Verbena Officinalis
Keyword - Realistic responsibility Bach Group - Overcare & Concern
Vervain helps those who need to restore balance to the unconscious belief that it is their responsibility to take care of everything around them. Those in need of Vervain have very high principles and ideals that they seek to convert others to, by the sheer force of their will and enthusiasm. They are perfectionists who tend to overwork, driving themselves way past what is reasonable, often becoming wound up & highly strung as a result. In the acute state they can be fanatical, over zealous and incensed by injustice. Vervain restores balance to these states allowing the personality to take a more realistic perspective in its attitude to responsibility and to recognise the need for others to have the freedom to follow their own path in life.
VINE ... Vitis Vinifera
Keyword - Positive leadership Bach Group - Overcare & Concern
Vine helps to restore the principle of balanced leadership through the right use of power and will. Those in need of Vine have a tendency to be over bearing, dominating, certain that they are right and need to take control in every situation. They can find it very hard to hear another’s point of view and will intimidate others weaker than themselves, often without realising what they are doing. Extreme examples of this personality type are the ruthless tyrant or bully. Vine helps to open the heart and to remind the personality that positive leadership is the result of a partnership between the heart and the mind.
WALNUT ... Juglans Regia
Keyword - Adaptability & Protection Bach Group - Oversensitivity
Walnut promotes adaptability, flexibility and protection during times of change. We all face the challenge of change many times in our lives and Walnut helps us to be open, flexible and adaptable at such times. This might be the physical changes that occur as we move through the various stages of life, or life style changes such as bereavement, divorce, new house or job. In such situations Walnut acts as a link breaker helping us to release the old and decisively embrace the new. It can also provide a cloak of protection for those over sensitive to their environment or to the influence of others.
WATER VIOLET ... Hottonia Palustris
Keyword - Humility Bach Group - Loneliness
Water Violet helps to restore the soul qualities of humility and wisdom. Those in need of Water Violet often have much valuable wisdom and insight to share but due to their gentle, sensitive natures find it hard to communicate this to others. They have a tendency to withdraw into their own space and can sometimes appear to be aloof and unapproachable or perhaps slightly superior or proud, all aspects of personality that contribute to their sense of isolation from others. Water Violet helps them to remember the oneness of all things and to dissolve the barriers around the heart that this state creates, promoting the ability to socialise easily and to share their integrity, wisdom
and knowledge.
WHITE CHESTNUT … Aesculus Hippocastanum
Keyword - Tranquillity of mind Bach Group - Lack of Interest
White Chestnut brings the gift of a calm, peaceful mind uncluttered by unnecessary thoughts. Those in need of White Chestnut suffer from a constantly busy mind in which there is no reprieve from revolving thoughts that circulate round and round like a hamster on a wheel. They often experience recurring internal mental arguments and conversations, all states that effectively cut them off from the present moment and can sometimes make it difficult to sleep. White Chestnut brings tranquillity and clarity of thought.
WILD OAT … Bromus Asper
Keyword - Clarity of Direction Bach Group - Uncertainty
Wild Oat promotes an inner certainty about the vocational direction of ones life. Those in need of Wild Oat have not yet connected with the inner direction of their Soul that would give them clarity on the direction of their chosen life path. They are often strongly ambitious people with many talents and gifts but as they lack a strong inner sense of how to use them tend to end up flitting from one thing to another. A state of uncertainty that means they are endlessly searching in the outer world for the ‘right’ direction when the answer is actually within themselves. Wild Oat helps to strengthen their inner connection and promote clarity of direction.
WILD ROSE … Rosa Canina
Keyword - Enthusiasm Bach Group - Lack of Interest
Wild Rose helps to restore the qualities of enthusiasm and joy in the process of life. Those in need of Wild Rose experience a state of apathetic resignation, which can bring with it feelings of boredom or tiredness. In an acute state they appear to have given up, completely lacking the motivation and enthusiasm necessary to function normally in life. Some people experience this during a long-term illness, having been told to resign themselves to the fact they may never be fully well again. Wild Rose helps to bring back the enthusiasm to find joy in life whatever the circumstances.
WILLOW ... Salix Vitellina
Keyword - Forgiveness Bach Group - Despondency & Despair
Willow restores the qualities of self-responsibility and forgiveness. Those in need of Willow have a tendency to feel a victim of circumstance and to blame others for their life situation. They may become easily bitter or resentful, bear grudges or feel that ‘life’s not fair’ when things do not go their way. Willow helps to dissolve these difficult personality traits and to promote the recognition of the need for self–responsibility, forgiveness of self and others and to restore optimism in their ability to create the life they want.
AGRIMONY... Agrimonia Eupatoria
Key Word - Inner Harmony Bach Group - Oversensitivity
Agrimony restores the ability to express ones true feelings and emotions no matter what these might be. Those in need of Agrimony have much inner anxiety and turmoil that they cover up with a smile and a laugh when in the company of others. They are so successful at this that they appear to be ‘the life & soul of the party’ without a care in the world. Their sensitivity and dislike of discord leads them to try to keep the peace at any cost. However, when the pressure of these bottled up emotions becomes too great they may explode in anger and often use alcohol or drugs as a way of cutting themselves off from their unexpressed inner worries. Other indications for this remedy are restless sleep patterns and a need for constant outer stimulation. Agrimony promotes ease of expression, leading to feelings of real inner harmony and peace.
ASPEN ... Populus Tremula
Key Word - Feeling Safe Bach Group - Fear
Aspen helps those who experience anxiety for which there appears to be no logical reason. This can take the form of vague but potent apprehension of some unknown future event or an uneasy ‘spooked out’ feeling in the dark or in strange places. The creepy, shivery feeling that is sometimes described as ‘someone just walked over my grave’ expresses the Aspen fear of the spirit / psychic realms very well. Shaking, trembling, or vague fluttering feelings in the tummy together with coldness, paleness & nightmares are all indications of the need for Aspen.
BEECH … Fagus Sylvatica
Key Word - Tolerance Bach Group - Overcare & Concern
Beech helps those who need to establish a more loving, lenient and flexible relationship with themselves and with those around them. Criticism, judgement and intolerance are very common personality traits in today’s world where they are often seen as acceptable ways of instilling discipline in children as they grow up. However when these traits are not balanced with enough love the result is an individual who is constantly critical, intolerant and judgemental of themselves and others. Being easily irritated by others habits, having a very fixed outlook on life or so sensitive to criticism from others that it is difficult to benefit from life’s lessons, are all indications of the need for this remedy.
CENTAURY … Centaurium Erythraea
Key Word - Self Determination Bach Group - Oversensitivity
Centaury restores the qualities of inner strength & self-determination. Those in need of Centaury have a misplaced sense of service and believe that they must put others needs before their own. They appear to lack the will power to say ‘no’ and are easily dominated and open to being taken advantage of by those with stronger personalities. As a consequence they often wear themselves out in service to others and do not develop their own individuality or creativity. Those in the negative Centaury state are often seen as being ‘a doormat for others’.
CERATO … Ceratostigma Willmottiana
Keyword - Trust Bach Group - Uncertainty
Cerato restores the qualities of inner certainty and wisdom. Those in need of Cerato have difficulty trusting in their own intuition or ‘inner voice’. They appear to have an air of uncertainty around them and tend to seek the opinions of others when faced with decisions in their lives, rather than trust their own judgement. Even when they have consulted with friends & colleagues they will still have great difficulty making a firm choice of direction causing themselves much confusion. The statement ‘I don’t know’ can often be heard from the lips of those in the negative Cerato state. Cerato helps to create a bridge between the personality and the Soul restoring the ability to know and trust one’s own innate inner wisdom.
CHERRY PLUM … Prunus Cerasifera
Keyword - Rationality & calmness Bach Group - Fear
Cherry Plum restores the qualities of balance, calmness and positive control of the mind. The negative Cherry Plum state can be a very extreme and uncomfortable one in which the personality experiences powerful and irrational fears. Those in need of this remedy often feel that they are loosing control of their mind, going insane, or perhaps having a breakdown. They can be snappy, on edge, want to scream or fear that they could be uncharacteristically violent, either to themselves or others. In a very extreme state they may have wide staring eyes and be unable to stop themselves from saying or doing things that are completely out of their normal character. Many women experience variations of these irrational feelings related to their monthly cycle. In all these situations Cherry Plum brings calmness, rationality and peace.
CHESTNUT BUD …
