Below is a very simplified guide to the Bach Flower remedies: (Australian Bush Flower Essences are also available, although not listed here)


Each of the 38 remedies discovered by Dr Bach is directed at a particular characteristic or emotional state.

To help you select the the best combination of remedies for your current situation first think about your general personality and then ask yourself what am I feeling or what do I need? (This also applies to your loved ones or pet if you are selecting for them)

Each Bach Flower remedy gently assists one to move from the negative state to a positive one.

Pre-mixed combinations such as Rescue Remedy can be excellent but the most effective remedy is generally a single flower essence or combination of a few flower essences that are chosen individually.

In our clinic we can make remedies based either on a formula from your practitioner if you have one or your own blend. 

We have found that some people are able to tune in to their needs or those of their pet or loved one and create excellent custom formulas. Please be aware that as the emotional state changes you may not need the remedy anymore or you will be ready for a new formula to help you reach a higher level of awareness and deeper level of healing and balance.


If you would like help choosing the remedies, our team of highly experienced Naturopaths with specialised training in Flower Essences offer professional consultations. These can be done via phone, video (telehealth) or in clinic at Malvern Natural Health Care if you are located in Melbourne.
