Flower therapy (florotherapy) by Edward Bach. Edward Bach Flower Essences

Edward Bach (Edward Bach) was born in 1886 in the English Birmingham (Birmingham, England). By chance, the name of this doctor completely coincides with the name of the ingenious German composer, but those people who are even a little familiar with medicine and especially homeopathy, of course, will never confuse these two personalities.

So, Edward Bach was born into the family of a simple caster, and from childhood he showed interest in biology and other natural sciences. His father, however, had a different opinion regarding his son’s future — he wanted to see him as a caster as well. So, starting to study foundry, Edward still found the strength to convince his father and allow him to practice medicine.

He studied medicine at Edward University College of Medicine in London (University College Hospital, London), and a degree in medicine, he received in Cambridge (Cambridge).

The young doctor was closely engaged in bacteriology, and he soon discovered that between some diseases and the state of the microflora of patients, there was

marginal relationship. By that time, Bach worked in the very famous Homeopathic Hospital of London (London Homeopathic Hospital), and soon he already identified seven groups of intestinal bacteria, to which he developed seven vaccines, which later became known as Bach's nosodes (nosodes - homeopathic medicines). However, they were used mainly in Edward's homeland - in Britain.

In addition to infections and vaccines, Bach noted that all these species correspond to certain types of character, and thus, treatment with nosodes somewhat affects the personality of patients.

When Edward turned 30, he himself was diagnosed with cancer. According to the forecasts of doctors, then he had no more than three months left. However, these predictions turned out to be erroneous, and Bach lived another 19 years. It is known that he never resorted to surgery, instead using his own treatment method. So, his discovery, which subsequently glorified him, was Flower therapy.

So, learning about your failure

a reassuring diagnosis, Bach left London, moving to the countryside. He actively began to study wild flowers, and soon the doctor noticed that flower energy has an effect on the mental state of a person. So, he came to the conclusion that certain types of flowers are able to rid him of negative emotions, and also generally improve health. Soon Bach had already prepared his first three flower infusions, and these solutions, no matter what the skeptics say, worked! Later it was proved that flower elixirs were prepared in ancient civilizations.

By the way, it remains unclear exactly how Dr. Bach found the flowers he needed. There is an opinion that over time it became so sensitive to flowers that it could accurately determine which plant has certain medicinal properties.

His essences were very successful after the death of Edward Bach, who died on November 27, 1936. Today, these flower preparations are used in many alternative medical organizations in Europe and the USA.

Dr. Edward Bach (born Dr. Edward Bach - years of life September 24, 1886 - November 27, 1936)

Almost all the information we have about Dr. Bach’s life comes either from books, letters, and brochures that he left behind, or from a biography written by Nora Wicks, who worked closely with him during his work at Sotwell. In Dr. Edward Bach's Medical Discoveries, Nora gives us a lot of fascinating information about his work, but very little information about his private life. Bach himself carefully destroyed many of his letters and pamphlets before his death, leaving only those that he would like others to see. We know from state archives that he was married twice and had a daughter during his life, but there is no mention of this in his biography, which allows us to fill in the gaps in the private image of Dr. Bach ourselves.

We can trace the life of Dr. Bach in various stages of his life.

Childhood and the beginning of working life.

Medical research and the first years of medical practice.

His work as an immunologist and the discovery of 7 Nosods.

The last six years of his life and the discovery of flower essences.

Throughout Dr. Bach's life, a driving force is traced, namely his absolute determination to find out the truth about human diseases and disorders and provide a cure in the form of a simple remedy accessible to everyone.

Childhood and the beginning of working life

Edward Bach was born in 1886 in the city of Moselle near Birmingham. According to Nora Vicks, young Edward was a well-established boy with great power of concentration on those things that interested him. He had a great love for nature and great compassion for anyone who suffered. As a boy, he dreamed of finding a simple form of medicine that would cure all forms of disease, and he also imagined that healing power flows from his hands - a dream that he realized throughout his life.

After leaving school at the age of 16, young Bach began his working life in the brass casting family workshop. Although he was determined to follow his dream, it was difficult for him to ask his father for the necessary funds and support that he needed to study medicine. In the three years that he worked in his father’s factories, he studied the people with whom he worked, noting their difficulties and illnesses, and how little real help medicine of that time could offer them. This increased his determination to learn all the known methods of treatment, and he went to his father, who gladly offered the necessary support, which allowed him to start his studies at medical school.

Medical research and the first years of medical practice

At the age of 20, he entered the University of Birmingham, also working at the University College Hospital in London to complete his studies. He qualified in 1912.

Even a medical student, Edward Bach spent a little time with books, since the true study of diseases for him was to observe the patients and the differences in their reaction to their diseases. He saw that the same treatment did not always act on the same disease in different patients. He began to notice that those patients who had similar personality traits often responded equally to the same treatment, while others with different personality traits needed different treatment, although they all complained about the same violation. Practical experience and observation were the only true way of teaching, and he resorted little to the use of generally accepted theories until he was convinced of their usefulness in his experience.

His work as an immunologist and the discovery of 7 Nosodes

In 1913, Bach became a trauma doctor at the University College Hospital, and then the same year, a trauma surgeon at the Temperance National Hospital, but his poor health forced him to abandon his last post and after a recovery period, he took up private consultations in Harley Street, where he was soon very busy with practice. The more he did, the more he became dissatisfied with the results that he could achieve with the help of orthodox medicine. He felt that, at best, he only mitigated and relieved symptoms and was even more convinced that the personalities of his patients should be given no less attention than the consideration of the symptoms of their ailments. He began to look closely at other methods of treatment and became interested in the field of immunology, taking the post of assistant bacteriologist at the University College Hospital. His pioneering work in this area eventually became known throughout the medical field. As a result of his studies of intestinal bacteria, he developed a series of nosodes or vaccines, which allowed him to help many patients with chronic diseases that they could not help earlier. Now they are known as Bach Nosodes. Again, Bach was struck by the fact that the personality traits of people who needed specific nosodes were usually similar, and in the end he was able to prescribe suitable nosodes for patients, based only on the personality of the patient.

He was an incredibly hardworking person and the busy schedule for receiving patients and the tasks he wanted to achieve in the field of research work began to negatively affect his health. Nora Wicks tells us that in 1917 he fainted with heavy bleeding in his stomach and was operated on in his hospital. The severity of the disease was such that the doctors gave him only three months of life. Desiring at all costs to continue work that was not completed, he forced himself to return to work as soon as he was able to walk and plunged into his experiments. After three months, he was surprised to find that he had fully recovered.

In 1918, he left the University College Hospital and set up his own laboratory to continue his research.

In 1919, he became a pathologist and bacteriologist at the London Homeopathic Hospital, where he first became acquainted with the work of Samuel Hahnemann, the founder of homeopathy. As he studied the work of Hahnemann - the Organon, he was struck by the similarity of Hahnemann and his ideas: "treat the patient, not his illness" - this idea was repeated again and again. Combining the ideas of Hahnemann with his own, Bach began to make his nosodes using homeopathic methods of preparation, thereby eliminating the need for a dose through a syringe. Over the next few years, Bach researched and improved his system of nosodes further, publishing his results in his brochures and books and in the many public speeches he gave. He became extremely famous in medical circles and was very busy in his clinic on Harley Street.

The last six years of life and the discovery of flower essences

Despite his success, Bach knew that he had not yet found the simple form of medicine he sought. Despite the fact that the nosodes were very good, they could not cure all cases, and they were not made from natural substances, about which he dreamed. He began to actively search for plants with the same patterns and action to replace nosodes. However, he succeeded only in 1928, when pieces of the puzzle began to fall into place. While at a big dinner party, and watching other guests, he suddenly saw that in fact, there are more than seven types of personality that he identified in his work with nosodes. At this moment of inspiration, he saw that, in generalization, all of humanity belonged to various "types of groups." From that moment, he redoubled his efforts to observe how his patients reacted to their life and circumstances, carefully documenting all of their findings and expanding the number of types of groups.

In September 1928, he intuitively traveled to Wales, where he discovered his first two flowers, Impatiens (Impatiens) and Mimulus (Gubastik), and then later that same year Clematis (Lomonos). He began to use the essences that he prepared from these flowers on his patients, and was so inspired by the results that he decided to stop any other forms of treatment and continue to search for other flowers in order to expand his work.

In early 1930, he closed all of his work in London and went to Wales to look for other flowers and plants that were required to complete his work. Thus began the last stage of his life and which was not easy to follow. He was at that time a very respected and outstanding person in his field. Very few of his colleagues could follow his reasoning and understand the sudden change in direction of his work that he was about to take, and many tried to make him change his mind. However, this did not lead to anything, since he was absolutely convinced of his path and the result, as we now know, was the discovery of 38 different essences, together with two unique cooking methods that he developed for them.

Dr. Bach passed away peacefully in 1936, and his mission was completed.

There can be no question of true healing if we are not in harmony with ourselves, if there are no changes in attitudes and relationships, peace in the soul, in consciousness and inner peace. But no matter what reason lies behind our diseases, whatever troubles destroy our happiness, these beautiful, pure, natural remedies are called upon to return to us the well-being and joy of life. (Edward Bach)

(09.24.1886 - 11.27.1936) - an English doctor, homeopath, bacteriologist and spiritual writer, best known for developing the so-called Bach flower remedies. 100 years ago, Dr. Bach believed that the cause of most diseases is the painful state of the human mind and the approach to each patient should be individual. In a homeopathic way, he prepared tinctures from absolutely harmless wild flowers and some plants and prescribed them to patients to correct their emotional state. The philosophical views of Edward Bach and his approach to healing from the best achievements of ancient medicine have thrown a bridge far into the future.

Childhood and the beginning of working life

Edward Bach was born in 1886 in the town of Moseley, located about three miles from Birmingham, in the area of \u200b\u200bancient Celtic culture, closely connected with nature. Already in childhood, Edward was an established nature, he was able to seriously focus on those things that interested him. He was distinguished by a great love of nature and great compassion for all those suffering. Therefore, he dreamed of finding a simple form of medicine that would cure many diseases, and also imagined that healing power flows from his hands - a dream that he realized throughout his life.

Relations in the Bach family were quite tough. Later, E. Bach repeatedly wrote that parents should not suppress the desires of children. On the contrary, they are obliged to nurture independence, individuality and freedom in children so that the child is not afraid to think and act independently. He wrote a lot about the fact that it was in early childhood that stereotypes developed in the family, which he then had to struggle with all his life. His father was a caster and wanted his eldest son, Edward, to adopt his skills, so the boy from the age of sixteen began to help his father, without ceasing to dream about medical activity.

Being very delicate, only after three years of such an unhappy life, Edward decided to tell his father about his vocation. Given his poor health, his father allowed him to leave the foundry and fulfill his dream of becoming a doctor. Dr. Bach's biographers wrote that Edward felt very guilty because he had to take some money from the family budget in connection with his studies.

Medical research and the first years of medical practice

Edward Bach in his youth

At the age of 20, he began to study medicine at the University of Birmingham; completing his education, he worked at the clinic of the University College (University College Hospital) in London; In 1912 he received a medical degree from the Royal College of Surgeons, and a year later - the title of Bachelor of Medicine.

When he was a medical student, Edward Bach spent a little time with books, since the true study of diseases for him was to observe the patients and the differences in their response to the disease. He noted that standard treatment did not always act the same on the same disease in different patients. He began to notice that those patients who had similar personality traits often reacted similarly to the same treatment, while others with different personality traits required different treatment, although they all complained about the same violation. Practical experience and observations were the only true way of teaching, and the novice doctor resorted to the use of generally accepted theories little until he was convinced of their usefulness in his own experience.

On January 14, 1913, E. Bach married his first wife. Note that almost all of the information about the life of Dr. Bach comes either from books, letters and brochures that he left behind, or from a biography written by his assistant Nora Weeks. In the book The Medical Discoveries of Dr. Edward Bach, Nora gives a lot of fascinating information about his work, but very little data about his private life. Bach himself carefully destroyed many of his letters and pamphlets before his death, leaving only those that he wanted to make public.

Immunology and discovery of 7 nosodes

University College Clinic

In 1913, Bach became a traumatologist in a clinic at University College, and then in the same year as a trauma surgeon at the National Temperance Hospital, but his poor health forced him to resign, and after a recovery period, he took up private consultations on Harley Street, where he was soon very busy with practice.

The more he worked, the more he was dissatisfied with the results that he received with the help of traditional medicine. He felt that at best it only alleviated and alleviated the symptoms, and was even more convinced that the personalities of his patients should be given no less attention than the consideration of the symptoms of their ailments. Looking closely at other methods of treatment, he became interested in immunology and soon took the post of assistant bacteriologist in the clinic of the University College.

Edward Bach was an incredibly hardworking person - the busy schedule for receiving patients and the tasks that he wanted to achieve in the field of research work began to negatively affect his health. In 1917, he lost consciousness in his laboratory. He was diagnosed with a malignant tumor of the spleen, which had to be operated on immediately. Given the nature of the disease, the complexity of the operation and living conditions *, it was predicted that E. Bach had only three months left to live. However, the doctor was determined to continue the research. Life energy and enthusiasm gave him so much strength that after the appointed time, E. Bach not only did not leave this world, but lived another 19 years, working even more intensively than before.

* In 1916, Dr. Bach had a daughter, and already in April 1917 he lost his wife. In May of the same year, his second marriage took place, which ended in divorce in 1922.

Dr. E. Bach with his daughter

In 1918, he left his job at the clinic and founded his own laboratory to continue research. In November, he joined the Masonic lodge, in which, judging by the documents, he was until the end of his life.

In the process of bacteriological research, Bach found that a certain intestinal microflora corresponds not only to a specific disease, but even more so to a very specific person with all his individual characteristics. As a result, he identified seven groups of intestinal bacteria that correspond to seven different types of characters and developed homeopathic remedies that did not need to be injected, but could be taken orally, which was much more liked by patients and much less likely to lead to complications. These famous seven “intestinal nosodes *” of Dr. Bach have helped a lot of people, especially those who suffer from chronic diseases.

_______________________________

* Nosodes are drugs created on the basis of products of human diseases (pathological discharge and pathologically altered tissues), as well as microbiological preparations.

The doctor and the bacterial nosodes discovered by him became more and more popular, colleagues used the discoveries of E. Bach and called him the second Hahnemann. Bach studied the effects of nutrition on health and published articles on chronic diseases and immunity.

The last six years of life and the discovery of flower essences

Despite the fact that Edward Bach considered homeopathy the medicine of the future, after ten years of practice, he still turned away from it. He was not satisfied that the drugs, the essence of which is to cure a person and help him regain his health, are prepared from substances associated with the disease. The doctor was sure that nature was powerful and it was possible to find means in it that could help a person in all difficulties. His intention was to find plants in nature that could replace the bacterial nosodes discovered by him.

Help in this new activity for him was the memories of his childhood spent in the countryside, as well as extraordinary observation and intuition. However, a long time passed until he found his way to a new method of treating people.

To find plants with the same patterns and action as the nosodes, Bach succeeded only in 1928. Once, while at a big dinner party and watching other guests, he suddenly saw that, in fact, there are more personality types than the seven that he identified in working with nosodes. At this moment of inspiration, he saw that, generally speaking, all of humanity belongs to different "types of groups." Since then, he redoubled his efforts, observing how his patients reacted to life and circumstances, carefully documented all his findings, expanding the number of types of groups.

Such “illumined” states were not uncommon for Bach. When in September 1928 he intuitively went to Wales, another epiphany came over him. Walking along the Ask River, he brought three plants to the London laboratory, from the flowers of which, using the “solar method” invented by himself, he prepared the first three flower infusions. These were the flowers of Gubastik, touchy and repeshka, helping with the anxieties and fears characteristic of Dr. Bach himself. The infusion of the flowers of Gubastik (Mimulus), he intended to treat the fear of poverty and loneliness; from the flowers of Impatiens (Impatiens) - painful bustle and haste, and from the flowers of Repeshka (Agrimony) - a tendency to hypertrophied sense of duty. So Dr. Bach illustrated the various reactions of the human types and the positive attitude that flower medicines restore. After a long time, to explain the meaning of his discovery, he even came up with a fairy tale that tells about the characteristics of the characters of different human types.

After the first “flower” discoveries, Dr. Bach stopped research at the London Homeopathic Clinic and in early 1930 opened a medical practice in the countryside. At that time, Bach was a very respected and outstanding person in the field of bacteriology. Very few of his colleagues could understand the sudden change in direction of his work, there was no shortage of those who tried to force him to change his mind. However, this did not lead to anything, since he was absolutely convinced of his path. The result, as we now know, was the discovery of 38 different essences, together with two unique cooking methods that he developed for them.

How did Dr. Bach find plants that can heal ailments? This question can only be partially answered today. Possessing a very delicate sensitivity, he determined the properties of various colors by the effect that they had on himself. Leaving London (life in the big city oppressed and devastated him) and moving to the countryside, he took long walks every day in search of healing plants. Bach captured the subtle energies so well that he could bring a dew drop or flower petal to his lips and get a complete picture of its healing properties. It was enough for him to look at some flower in order to immediately feel all those emotional and physical states that the essence of this flower could cure.

Between 1930 and 1932, Dr. Bach found and prepared the flower essences of those plants, which he called the Twelve Healers. He connected them with the types of karmic lessons that people had to work with in life.

In these early years of research and preparation of essences, he lived in Cromer, on the seashore, and traveled to find flowers that were missing to complete his work. In 1933, he introduced four more plants, which he called the “Four Helpers”.

House in Sotvel

In 1934, after he walked far and wide across the English fields and decided that his wellness system was ready, he settled in the village of Sotwell. There he served his customers, took care of the garden and even made furniture with his own hands. But in the early spring of 1935, he suddenly felt an impulse that forced him to resume research.

While the first essences were discovered by him for 6 years, on the basis of long-term observations of plants and the condition of patients, the second group was created in just six months. This new discovery was a tremendous burden for Edward Bach. Nora Weeks testifies that, despite his extreme busyness, his weakness and exhaustion, he continued to take care of everyone who turned to him for help, and always gave a smile, trying to bring joy and happiness to his neighbors. Truly, he followed those simple truths about which he spoke in his books: “Life does not require unthinkable sacrifices from us; she asks to make our journey with a heart filled with joy and be a blessing to those around us. "

Since Bach published his first articles on flower essences, he has been pursued by the English Medical Council. In his last letter addressed to EMC in 1936, he wrote: “Having convinced myself that field herbs are very easy to use and so surprisingly effective in their healing power, I abandon orthodox medicine.” He also said that he no longer considers himself a doctor and prefers to be called a herbalist. However, his name was never removed from the UK medical registry.

On November of the same year, his significant letter to his closest employees was dated, in which he said: "My task has been completed, My mission in this world has ended." Addressing Nora Weeks, Victor Bullen and Mary Tabor, he continued: “There are moments like this, when I wait for a call, I don’t know where. If this call comes, and it can happen at any moment, I ask you three of you to continue the wonderful work that we have begun. Work that can free people by eliminating the forces of the disease ... "His assistants should have taken seriously his next request:" Many will want to increase the number of drugs, want to change and complicate the method, but try to keep it in its complete simplicity. "

On his fiftieth birthday, Dr. Bach delivered a lecture on Healing by Herbs, and shortly afterwards, on November 27, his heart stopped beating in a dream.

Amazing character traits

Being an extremely difficult person, Edward Bach was very sensitive to the suffering of others and at the same time uncompromisingly defended some principles, especially those regarding respect for freedom. He could be moved because of the smallest thing, but he could be angry. Full of humor, he loved the simple pleasures of life, passionately loved serving others. He possessed a very developed intuition and ability to think broadly, a generous and expansive love for all living things, firmness in any trial, and at the same time, the exceptional qualities of a healer.

Dr. E. Bach's study

Dr. Bach, an idealist physician, was obsessed with a passion for research into human nature. In his articles and speeches at conferences, constant care is seen to teach everyone to be guided by their spiritual nature, to get rid of oppression of emotions and wrong beliefs, as well as from the influence of other people, even the closest. For him, absolute freedom is our right from birth: “If we listen and obey only our own desires, not falling under the influence of another personality, we will always be guided in the right way in the best way, making our lives extremely useful and healthy for others” . Or again: “Each human being is unique in that he or she has her own personality, which should not allow itself to be suppressed by the modern tendency to destroy the character, the tendency that tries to make us simple elements of a big machine. ... Over time, those who remained true to themselves, were always regarded as geniuses, since no matter what position they were in, they fulfilled their mission. The world loves them and is inspired by those who had the courage to fulfill their mission without caring about public opinion. And everyone should be an example of individuality. ”

As you can see, Dr. Bach attached great importance to the preservation of individuality. His sensitivity made him very vulnerable, and he had to protect himself from the very beginning of his life. When he was in contact with his “little voice”, he radiated the world around him, and his love was so great that he became healing for the creatures he wanted to help. He could even feel the hidden moods of the people around him. Sometimes he caught the negative thoughts and energy of some people so much that he had to distance himself from them and even avoid them. Once, during a concert, he suddenly got up and ran out of the hall. The person sitting behind him, outwardly normal, radiated such negative feelings that they were unbearable for Bach. And vice versa, if a person asked him for help, even feeling his negative state, he forgot about his impulsive reactions in order to completely surrender to taking care of him.

The medicine of flowers and philosophy that he presented to the world were undoubtedly divine inspiration, but he remained very human at the same time. Besides his unpredictable nature, Dr. Bach smoked a lot. He was a vegetarian for several years, but he ate meat from time to time “to stay in my body until my mission is complete,” he said. All his life he was tormented by his body, which made him suffer from frequent pains. Despite his suffering, he was persistent in his work, not allowing physical torture to influence his mission. When he wandered in search of wild plants that could help his patients, it happened that he suffered from ulcers on his legs, from blinding migraines, from painful obsessive neuralgia. He said: "I need to know what pain is and to study every sensation in order to have a true awareness of how others suffer."

All his life he tried not to allow protocols, conventions or other people to influence himself and immediately reacted to his internal impulses, even in the midst of a meeting or feast.

Dr. Bach knew how to have fun and admire, was fond of simple things, like a child. He was in contact with plants and animals. It happened that birds approached him without fear and sat on his shovel when he worked in the garden. They say that even dangerous dogs came to lick his hands. He claimed that he had already lived several lives as a healer. He dreamed of bringing the sufferers medicine that would be accessible to everyone.

The Power of Flowers by Dr. Bach

Dr. E. Bach's typewriter

In the works left by Edward Bach, there is no mention of religion or philosophy that was close to him. But they often contain references to the Buddha, Christ, Masters of the White Brotherhood. His works abound in such expressions as the Higher Self, Divine Guidance, the immortality of the soul, a series of lives ... Some of them may suggest the idea of \u200b\u200bhis involvement in Freemasonry. It is difficult to say which, in fact, schools or spiritual traditions inspired the scientist, but his spiritual content was always at the head of his research.

“A disease is not a punishment, but only a correction: it indicates to us our mistakes and does not allow us to make mistakes even more serious and thereby inflict more harm on ourselves; it helps us return to the path of Truth and Light, from which we have descended, ”thought Edward Bach, developing flower therapy at the beginning of the 20th century.

The results of Bach's research turned out to be unexpected: “Diseases, especially chronic ones, are just a consequence of mental disharmony. They arise when there is a conflict between our physical “I” with its feelings and desires and our Higher “I”. ” Therefore, treatment should begin with the harmonization of the mental state of a person, and then it will be followed by an improvement in the well-being of the physical body. If you help only the body and not help a person change their behavior, get rid of negative emotions and thoughts, then his condition may worsen. A true cure, and not only physical recovery, occurs when a person begins to learn from his ailments, when he changes his thoughts, feelings, behavior and his soul gets the opportunity to show all of its best qualities.

The potentials that the human soul seeks to realize through the physical "I", Dr. Bach called the virtues of the Higher "I": this is courage, constancy, determination, joy, the development of which is the true happiness of man. If they are not developed, then sooner or later a person begins to feel unhappy, and other people see only the shadow side of his virtues, that is, shortcomings and vices. These deficiencies cause the disease.

E. Bach. “Heal Yourself”

If a person lived in complete harmony with his soul, illness would bypass him. But since our physical “I” is restless, inert, full of contradictions and limp, the body eventually becomes ill.

In the book Heal Thyself (1931), Dr. Bach described his vision of medicine and the doctors of the future: they will be primarily concerned with the inner world, and not the physical body of a person. He also saw another hospital of the future: “It will be the Temple of Peace, Hope and Joy. There will be no fuss and noise, there will be none of these frightening modern apparatuses and machines, no smell of disinfectants and drugs, nothing that reminds of illness and suffering; there will not be measuring temperature and disturbing the patient, there will be no daily examinations with tapping and examination with a stethoscope, which inspire thoughts about the disease; there they will not constantly measure the pulse, because of which it begins to seem that the heart beats too often, for all this violates the peace and tranquility that the patient needs so much to recover as soon as possible. The hospital, like a mother, will take it into its own hands, calm and comfort, return him hope, faith and courage so that he can overcome his difficulties. "

And while there are no such hospitals, a person needs to understand that most ailments have two main reasons. 1. The physical “I” often lives by the illusion of its independence, independence from the soul, and if a person is focused only on the material side of life, then it is in principle incapable of recognizing the existence of the soul. Then, figuratively speaking, it cuts itself off from its umbilical cord, dries up and destroys itself. 2. But sometimes, even recognizing the existence of the soul, the physical “I” still acts contrary to its goals, violating the law of unity, violating the integrity of man.

Dr. Bach's flower therapy helps restore the connection between soul and body, and gives the physical self an opportunity to hear the soul again. Or, in the words of Bach himself, helps a person who was no longer himself to regain himself.

Bach developed 38 flower preparations for the seven basic mental states of man. He used flowers of certain plant species, endowed, according to him, with divine healing powers. These are mostly non-toxic plants; plants that a person does not use as food; and plants whose properties are not obvious. Most of them are still considered weedy. Infusions are prepared from the flowers of only those plants that have grown in their natural conditions and habitats.

Flower Essences of Dr. E. Bach

The liberation of the soul, or essence, of a plant from its physical body according to the Bach method occurs under the influence of sunlight or high temperature. Unlike traditional medicines, Bach flower infusions do not have a physical effect: the physical and chemical properties of the water hardly change, or the changes are so insignificant that they cannot be analyzed by known scientific methods. The preparation of infusions resembles a natural alchemical process in which four elements combine their strengths: Earth and Air - while the plant is gaining strength, Fire (Sun) - at the stage of liberation of the essence, Water becomes the new carrier of the soul (essence) of the plant. The therapeutic effect occurs with the interaction of the human soul with the soul of the plant, so the patient himself selects the drug and the rhythm of its intake.

Edward Bach believed that his flower concentrates in the very near future will be used not only in hospitals, but in every home; and they will serve not only the treatment of psychosomatic diseases, but also the spiritual cleansing of people who care about their spiritual growth. Anticipating the objections of the skeptics, he advised not to turn away from the use of this technique only because it was so simple. Indeed, “true simplicity does not stem from ignorance, but from the purity of wisdom. Like everything beautiful, flowers are connected with the sky of divine thoughts and exert its gentle, but effective influence on us ”(Sri Ram).

Edward Bach about the doctor of the future

His education will be devoted to a detailed study of a person’s being, understanding of his divine nature, deep awareness of the importance of purification and improvement, as well as finding ways to help the patient restore harmony between his Higher Self and the physical body.

By listening to the patient’s story about his life, the doctor will be able to determine the cause of the disharmony between body and soul, give the necessary advice and choose the right treatment.

He studied medicine at Edward University College of Medicine in London (University College Hospital, London), and a degree in medicine, he received in Cambridge (Cambridge).

The young doctor was closely engaged in bacteriology, and he soon discovered that between certain diseases and the state of the microflora of patients there is a certain relationship. By that time, Bach worked in the very famous Homeopathic Hospital of London (London Homeopathic Hospital), and soon he already identified seven groups of intestinal bacteria, to which he developed seven vaccines, which later became known as Bach's nosodes (nosodes - homeopathic medicines). However, they were used mainly in Edward's homeland - in Britain.

In addition to infections and vaccines, Bach noted that all these species correspond to certain types of character, and thus, treatment with nosodes somewhat affects the personality of patients.

So, learning about his disappointing diagnosis, Bach left London, moving to the countryside. He actively began to study wild flowers, and soon the doctor noticed that flower energy has an effect on the mental state of a person. So, he came to the conclusion that certain types of flowers are able to rid him of negative emotions, and also generally improve health. Soon Bach had already prepared his first three flower infusions, and these solutions, no matter what the skeptics say, worked! Later it was proved that flower elixirs were prepared in ancient civilizations.

“Heal yourself” - the British physician Edward Bach came to such an understanding in the 30s of the last century. He found that the disease is a consequence of the conflict between the mind and soul, loss of internal balance, discord with his personality. Lack of wisdom leads to myopia, and mistrust and malignancy lead to heart disease.

This means that it is necessary to treat not a disease, but a person: to return to him the possibility of harmonious development so that he ceases to experience the adverse effects of an upset state of mind and negative emotions.

However, ordinary companions of everyday life - doubts and conflicts, stress and resentment - do not always take the form of diseases. However, they stand between people, create obstacles on the way to the goal, prevent them from living a full life, and, finally, simply do not allow a person to be himself - that is, the individuality that nature created him.

Color of life

Harmony is inherent in nature, which means that it can help a person in finding inner balance. Bach Flowers - these are 39 flower elixirs: 38 essences are created from 38 plants as a single drug, and the 39th contains an infusion of five colors.

Edward Bach came to the conclusion that each of the plants selected by him corresponds to a special order energy in man, has his own "frequency". And that means that to correct our unbalanced energy field you can find your own “flower medicine”. However, since this energy field is woven from many waves and the loss of tuning of one leads to the failure of the other, it often requires not one essence, but several - from two to seven.

Flower search

The principle of “heal yourself” gives everyone the opportunity to engage in their own therapy. To do this, you need to impartially evaluate your personality, your character, your current psycho-emotional state ... Therefore, the first stage of flower therapy is a conversation with yourself, a study of your life, honest answers to important questions.

And, in particular, you should start by determining which emotions, feelings and conditions do not allow us to achieve harmony.

Many guides on Bach Flowers serve as an aid to such a conversation, which help to understand oneself and determine where to move on. And, of course, doctors who use Bach Flowers in their practice. Especially there are a lot of them in Europe, where flower essences are studied at medical institutes, sold in pharmacies as homeopathic remedies and are widely used by doctors of various profiles, but also in Russia, despite the fact that Bach essences became known from us only a few years ago. Please note that today the sale of flowers on the Internet has become available for most residents of our country.

Flower practice

How long does it take to take Bach Flowers? Unlike traditional medicinal practices, here the decision is made not by the doctor, but by the patient himself. And an unmistakable signal in this is a change in the quality of his life. Sometimes just a few weeks is enough to correct the imbalance, sometimes a course of several months is required to find balance.

The decision about how many flower essences to take at one time, again remains with the patient: the only rule that needs to be remembered here is that it is worth correcting the feelings that you are currently experiencing, and not limited to 1-2 "flowers ". It seems that you need all the "flowers" from the list? Most likely, you did not finish the process of your diagnosis and did not identify exactly the main weak points.

The only exception is the 39th essence, “Rescue Remedy”, which is not taken by the course, but in those situations that are accompanied by intense fear or require tension of all mental forces. Panic before flying on an airplane or important negotiations, severe stress in conditions that require action or comfort? Ambulance is in a small bottle of flower essence: a few drops - and life starts surprisingly dazzling with new colors.
