Bach Flowers represent a unique system of natural care, developed in the 1930s by Dr. Edward Bach, a British physician and homeopath who was convinced that emotional balance plays a crucial role in overall well-being. He identified 7 major emotional states and associated them with 38 floral essences derived from wild plants and flowers, each corresponding to a specific emotion.
These essences aim to restore inner harmony by gently addressing emotional imbalances such as fear, doubt, lack of interest, loneliness, emotional sensitivity, sadness, or difficult relationships Our emotions influence our physical and mental health, and by restoring a positive state of mind, we promote overall well-being. Even today, Bach Flowers are used worldwide as a natural support to regain serenity and balance in daily life.
