The illness itself is not what matters here — the patient is. It’s not important to treat the so-called illness, because the same illness can cause different symptoms in different people. What matters is the patient and how the illness affects them, which is our first guide toward healing. It is necessary to observe how the illness impacts the patient — there may be depression, loss of hope for recovery, fear of worsening, irritability, a need for company, a desire for solitude and silence, and so on — and it is necessary to choose the essence that is appropriate for the individual mood.

Dr. Edward Bach
(1886.-1936.)
Dr. Bach was a consultant, pathologist, bacteriologist, and homeopath. He was born in 1886 in Moseley, near Birmingham. In 1912, he completed his medical studies in London. Due to overwork, he suffered a breakdown, and surgeons told him he had only three months to live. As he continued his research on flower essences, he began to realize that he was getting stronger each day, and he concluded that the reason for this was the joy and inspiration he found in his work.
That experience confirmed to him that the state of mind can have an immediate and powerful impact on physical health. He fully dedicated himself to his new system of medicine, which aimed to help people as individuals, rather than simply treating their symptoms. Over the next five years, he completed a set of 38 flower essences, and a year later, he passed away. It was as if his research had been the spark that kept him alive.
He believed that the natural state of the human body is health. Only when the body's defenses weaken due to an imbalance in personality and emotions do viruses and other agents have the opportunity to thrive. This is also why he identified imbalance as the true cause of illness.
We all know that the same illness can affect different people in different ways. It is precisely these effects that need to be treated, as they lead us to the true cause.

How Flower Essences Work
The 38 flower essences help us balance emotions and address mental states, with each one acting on a specific mood or emotion. They do not treat physical illness directly, but instead restore harmony to the mind, thereby allowing our natural defense mechanisms to function more effectively.
This means that people can quite literally heal themselves. As we go through life, we encounter experiences that can lead us off our true path. Emotional problems develop over time, layer by layer, until the original pattern is completely hidden. Flower essences are gentler than people, as they remove these layers one by one, starting from the outside. By the time they reach the core, the person is ready and able to calmly face and resolve the issue.
As the flower essences begin to work, the hidden layers will naturally start to reveal themselves.

About the treatment
In a safe environment, through a conversation with the therapist, we become aware of the emotions that are currently on the surface and lead to deeper problems, limiting us in everyday life. After the conversation, a bottle is prepared with up to 7 plant essences that need to be taken daily or as needed. The plant essences work subtly but bring about significant and deep changes.
