NATURAL FLOWER REMEDIES
Bach Flower Remedies
Origin
Edward Bach developed the flower remedies in the 1920s and 1930s. Bach suggested that negative states of mind, such as fear and anxiety, are the cause of most illnesses. Bach identified 38 plants that he believed contained energy that could alleviate negative emotions.
Rescue Remedy
Rescue Remedy is the most famous of the remedies, but in fact is not a remedy at all but rather a mix of five different remedies, which together help you deal with any emergency or stressful event. However, it is not intended to replace emergency care or assistance.
The five different remedies are: Star of Bethlehem, Rock Rose, Clematis, Impatiens, Cherry Plum.
