Bach flower remedies
The essences of these flowers are used primarily as remedies for several emotional problems. The Bach flower remedies are not used for treating physical illnesses directly. The therapy is centered on the principle that the physical illnesses are primarily rooted in psychological problems, such as stress, anxiety, insecurity, loneliness and fear.
Psychological problems tend to reduce the body’s immunity. Through the Bach flower remedies, the flower essences help to calm the mind and reduce emotional difficulties, thereby helping the body to heal naturally. It has been observed that if carefully selected, the Bach flower therapy can be effective in reducing illnesses.

Besides using each of the 38 flower essences individually, the five flower remedy, which is a combination of essences of five flowers, is extremely useful in overcoming stress and anxiety in most circumstances.
