Flower Essences are dilute infusions of flowers used to harmonize body-mind, especially emotional or spiritual difficulties. They were made popular by Dr. Edward Bach in the early 20^th Century. Bach was a British doctor who was unhappy with the focus on the disease rather than focus on the patient suffering the disease. He understood disease to be an imbalance between body and mind and created a set of remedies to address this from an energetic rather than material perspective. Today there are several traditions of flower essences beyond the Bach remedies, using his original ideas to expand into non-European botanicals. The most famous Bach Remedy is Rescue Remedy. Flower essences are usually taken orally as a dilute tincture. They are a gentle yet powerful medicine that can be used by children and adults.
