Original Bach flower remedies in Russia. About Bach Flower Therapy

“There can be no question of true healing if we

We are not in harmony with ourselves if there are no changes

in views and relationships, peace in the soul, in consciousness and

inner peace. But whatever the reason is hidden

behind our illnesses, no matter what troubles destroy

our happiness is these wonderful, pure, natural remedies

are called upon to restore our well-being and joy of life.”

Dr. Edward Bach

Edward Bach (24.09.1886 - 27.11.1936)

Dr. Edward Bach, the founder of the system of treatment with flower infusions, was born on September 24, 1886 in a small village near the English city of Birmingham. Since childhood, he showed interest in biology and other natural sciences. Edward's father was a foundry worker and wanted his eldest son to take over his skills, so the boy began helping his father at the age of 16, never ceasing to dream of becoming a doctor.

Only three years later Edward decided to tell his father about his calling. Given his poor health, his father allowed Edward to leave the foundry and pursue his dream of becoming a doctor. At the age of twenty he began studying medicine at Cambridge University.

After graduating with honors from the university, the young doctor became closely involved in bacteriology and soon discovered the relationship between certain diseases and the state of the intestinal microflora; he also managed to create appropriate vaccines.

However, Dr. Bach increasingly realized that the physical elimination of the symptoms of a disease is not the main thing and that in the process of the occurrence of various diseases, a person’s mental state, which corresponds to a given disease, plays an important role.

Dr. Bach continued his research work in bacteriology and discovered that a certain intestinal microflora corresponds not only to a certain disease, but even more to a very specific person with all his individual characteristics.

He identified seven groups of gut bacteria that correspond to seven different personality types. Being by that time familiar with homeopathy (he worked as a bacteriologist at the Royal London Homeopathic Hospital), he developed drugs - the seven famous “intestinal nosodes” of Dr. Bach (nosodes are homeopathic drugs), which helped many people, especially those who suffered from chronic diseases .

When Dr. Bach worked at the London Homeopathic Hospital, he came across the work of Samuel Hahnemann, the founder of homeopathy - “Organon”, in which Bach found confirmation of his observations that the effectiveness of treatment with nosodes is influenced by the characteristic features of the patient as an individual and, therefore, it is necessary to treat the patient , not a disease. He began to take this into account, and during treatment he was more interested in the patient’s psyche and in himself as a person. Dr. Bach was convinced that the most effective healing agents should be sought in nature.

To do this, he became interested in searching for medicinal plants with which he could replace the nosodes obtained with the help of bacteria. Help in this new activity for him were the memories of his childhood spent in the countryside, as well as his extraordinary powers of observation and intuition. However, it took a long time before he found his way to a new method of treating people.

One day, while vacationing in Wales, Dr. Bach found plants from whose flowers, using the “solar method” he himself invented, he prepared the first three flower infusions. These were the flowers of the lipweed, impatiens and agrimony, which helped with anxieties and fears characteristic of Dr. Bach himself. He intended to treat the fear of poverty and loneliness with an infusion of the flowers of the mimuius; from impatiens flowers - painful vanity and haste, and from agrimony flowers - a tendency to an exaggerated sense of duty, etc.

In 1930, Dr. Bach summarized his observations and lessons learned from medical practice, and in 1931 he published the book “Heal Yourself!”, which reflects the basic principles of Bach’s flower therapy, philosophy of illness and recovery. In the period 1930-1935. Dr. Bach discovered 38 flower essences on which his healing system is based. Bach described these 38 remedies in detail in his book The Twelve Healers and Other Remedies, published in September 1936.

When Edward Bach turned 30, he was diagnosed with cancer. According to doctors' forecasts, he had no more than three months to live, but Bach lived for another 19 years. He never resorted to surgery, instead using his own method of treatment. So, his discovery, which later made him famous, was Flower Therapy.

Dr. Bach's essences enjoyed enormous success even after his death on November 27, 1936. Today, these flower preparations are used in many medical clinics around the world.

Almost all the information we have about Dr Bach's life comes either from the books, letters and pamphlets he left behind, or from the biography written by Nora Weeks, who worked closely with him during his time at Sotwell. In The Medical Discoveries of Dr. Edward Bach, Nora gives us much 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 wanted others to see. We know from state archives that he was married twice and had a daughter during his lifetime, but there is no mention of this in his biography, which allows us to fill in the blanks of Dr. Bach's private image ourselves.

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

Childhood and beginning of working life.

Medical research and the first years of medical practice.

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

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

A driving force throughout Dr. Bach's life is his absolute determination to discover the truth about human illness and disease and to provide a simple cure available to all.

Childhood and early working life

Edward Bach was born in 1886 in Mosele, near Birmingham. According to Nora Weeks, even as a young man, Edward was a boy with an established nature, possessing a great power of concentration on those things that interested him. He had a great love for nature and great compassion for anyone who was suffering. As a boy, he dreamed of finding a simple form of medicine that would cure all forms of disease, and he also imagined healing powers flowing 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 family brass foundry. Although he was determined to follow his dream, he found it difficult to ask his father for the necessary funds and support he needed to study medicine. During the three years he worked in his father's factories, he studied the people he worked with, noting their difficulties and illnesses, and how little real help the medicine of the time could offer them. This increased his determination to explore all known treatments, and he approached his father, who happily offered the necessary support that enabled him to begin medical school.

Medical research and early years of medical practice

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

Even as a medical student, Edward Bach spent little time with books, since the true study of disease for him lay in observing patients and the differences in their responses to their illnesses. He saw that the same treatment did not always work on the same disease in different patients. He began to notice that those patients who had similar personality traits often responded in the same way to the same treatment, while others with different personality traits required different treatment, although they all complained of the same disorder. Practical experience and observation were the only true way of learning, and he had little recourse to the use of generally accepted theories until he was convinced of their usefulness by experience.

His work as an immunologist and the discovery of 7-Nosodes

In 1913, Bach became a trauma surgeon at University College Hospital and then later that year a trauma surgeon at the Temperance National Hospital, but poor health forced him to resign his latter post and, after a period of recovery, he took up private consultations in Harley Street, where he was soon very busy with practice. The more he practiced, the more dissatisfied he became with the results he could achieve with orthodox medicine. He felt that at best he only softened and relieved the symptoms, and was even more convinced that the personalities of his patients should be given as much attention as the consideration of the symptoms of their ailments. He began to look at other treatments and became interested in the field of immunology, taking up a position as assistant bacteriologist at University College Hospital. His pioneering work in this field eventually became known throughout the medical field. As a result of his research into gut bacteria, he developed a number of nosodes or vaccines, which allowed him to help many patients with chronic diseases who could not previously be helped. They are now known as Bach Nosodes. Again, Bach was struck by the fact that the personality traits of people requiring particular nosodes tended to be similar, and he was eventually able to prescribe suitable nosodes for patients based solely on the patient's personality traits.

He was an incredibly hard worker, and the busy schedule of seeing patients and the goals he wanted to achieve in his research work began to take a toll on his health. Nora Weeks tells us that in 1917 he collapsed with severe bleeding in his stomach and was operated on in his hospital. The severity of the disease was such that doctors gave him only three months to live. Desiring at all costs to continue the work that was not completed, he forced himself to return to work as soon as he was able to walk and immersed himself in his experiments. At the end of three months, he was surprised to find that he had completely recovered.

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

In 1919, he took up a position as 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 Hahnemann's work, the Organon, he was struck by the similarity between Hahnemann's ideas and his own: "treat the patient, not the disease" - an idea repeated again and again. Combining Hahnemann's ideas with his own, Bach began to make his nosodes using homeopathic methods of preparation, thereby eliminating the need to administer a dose by syringe. Over the next few years, Bach researched and refined his nosode system further, publishing his results in his pamphlets and books and in the many public talks he gave. He has become extremely famous in medical circles and is very busy at his clinic in 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 that he was after. Even though the nosodes were very good, they could not cure all cases, and they were not made from natural substances, which was what he dreamed of. He began actively searching for plants with the same patterns and effects to replace the nosodes. However, he succeeded only in 1928, when the pieces of the puzzle began to fall into place. While at a large dinner party, and watching the other guests, he suddenly saw that there were, in fact, more than seven personality types that he had identified in his work with nosodes. In this moment of inspiration, he saw that, when generalized, all of humanity belonged to different "types of groups." From this point on, he redoubled his efforts to observe how his patients responded to their lives and circumstances, carefully documenting all of his findings and expanding the number of group types.

In September 1928 he intuitively traveled to Wales, where he discovered his first two flowers, Impatiens and Mimulus, followed later that year by Clematis. He began using the essences he prepared from these flowers on his patients and was so encouraged by the results that he decided to stop all other forms of treatment and continue searching for other flowers to expand his work.

At the beginning of 1930 he closed all 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 highly respected and eminent person in his field. Very few of his colleagues could follow his reasoning and understand the sudden change in the direction of his work that he was about to take, and many tried to force him to change his mind. However, this came to nothing as he was absolutely convinced of his path and the result, as we now know, was the discovery of 38 different essences, along with two unique methods of preparation that he developed for them.

Dr. Bach died peacefully in 1936, his mission completed.

Biography of Edward Bach

Dr. Edward Bach, the founder of the system of treatment with flower infusions, was born on September 24, 1886 in a small village near the English city of Birmingham. Family relations were very tough. Later, E. Bach wrote many times that parents should not interfere with the wishes of their 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 how it is in early childhood that stereotypes are formed in the family, which one then has to fight throughout one’s life. His father was a foundry worker and wanted his eldest son Edward to take over his skills, so the boy began helping his father at the age of sixteen, never ceasing to dream of becoming a doctor.

Being very delicate, only after three years of such an unhappy life did Edward decide to tell his father about his calling. Given his poor health, his father allowed him to leave the foundry and pursue his decision to become a doctor. Biographers of Dr. Bach wrote that Edward felt very guilty because he had to take a certain amount of money from the family budget in connection with his studies. At the age of twenty he began studying medicine at Cambridge University.

After graduating from the university with honors, E. Bach became deeply involved in bacteriology, and soon, thanks to the outstanding results of his research, he became famous. He discovered a relationship between certain diseases and the state of the intestinal microflora. He also managed to create appropriate vaccines.

However, Dr. Bach was not entirely satisfied with his work and felt that purely physical elimination of the symptoms of the disease was not the main thing. He increasingly realized that in the process of the occurrence of various diseases, a person’s mental state, which corresponds to a given disease, plays an important role. Dr. Bach continues his research work in bacteriology, but now from a different angle. He discovers that a certain intestinal microflora corresponds not only to a certain disease, but even more to a very specific person with all his inherent individual characteristics.

He identified seven groups of gut bacteria that correspond to seven different personality types. Being by that time familiar with homeopathy (he worked as a bacteriologist at the Royal London Homeopathic Hospital), he developed drugs that did not need to be injected, like previously created vaccines, but could be taken orally, which patients liked much more and led to complications much less often . These famous seven "intestinal nosodes" of Dr. Bach (nosodes are homeopathic remedies) have helped many people, especially those who suffered from chronic diseases.

Over time, Dr. Bach drew attention to the fact that the effectiveness of nosode treatment is greatly influenced by the characteristics of the patient as an individual. He began to take this into account, and during treatment he became more interested in the mental difficulties experienced by the patient and himself as an individual. Nevertheless, Dr. Bach was not entirely satisfied with the results of the treatment he prescribed; he was convinced that the most effective healing agents should be sought in untouched nature.

To do this, he plunged into the search for medicinal plants with which he could replace the nosodes obtained with the help of bacteria. Help in this new activity for him were the memories of his childhood spent in the countryside, as well as his extraordinary powers of observation and intuition. However, it took a long time before he found his way to a new method of treating people.

One day, while Dr. Bach was vacationing in Wales, he had a kind of epiphany. He found plants from whose flowers, using the “solar method” he himself invented, he prepared the first three flower infusions. These were flowers of gubastica, impatiens and agrimony, the purpose of which reflected the anxieties and fears characteristic of Dr. Bach himself. He intended to treat the fear of poverty and loneliness with an infusion of the flowers of the mimuius; from impatiens flowers (Impatiens) - painful vanity and haste, and from elm flowers (Elm) - a tendency to an exaggerated sense of duty, etc. Talking about the meaning of his discovery after a long time, Dr. Bach came up with a fairy tale telling about the characteristics of different characters of human types. Thus, Dr. Bach illustrated the different reactions of human types and the positive attitude that flower medicines restore.

“There can be no talk of true healing if we are not in harmony with ourselves, if there are no changes in views and relationships, peace in the soul, in consciousness and inner peace. But no matter what the reason is hidden behind our illnesses, no matter what troubles destroy our happiness - these wonderful, pure, natural remedies are designed to restore our well-being and joy of life.” Dr. Edward Bach

100 years ago, Dr. Bach believed that most diseases were caused by painful states of the human mind and that the approach to each patient should be individual.

Dr. Bach prepared tinctures from absolutely harmless wild flowers and some plants using a homeopathic method and prescribed them to his patients to correct their emotional state. The results exceeded all expectations.

People who experienced the healing power of Dr. Bach's infusions passed on the results of their actions from mouth to mouth, and thus they became known throughout England, and then beyond its borders.

Today these remedies are called “Bach Flowers” and they are used in almost all countries of the world. Their popularity continues to grow.

Doctors who believe that treatment of any disease should begin with correction of the emotional state use “Bach Flowers” in their practice, obtain good results, while reducing the risk of relapses in patients.

Bach therapy helps to neutralize the “negative states of human nature”: impatience, irritability, pettiness, self-doubt, jealousy and other feelings that are unpleasant to us.

With the help of “Bach Flowers” we restore contact with our own spiritual forces, and through them, with the internal resources of the body that promote self-healing.

The natural effect of using “Bach Flowers” is the development of the body’s resistance to emotional experiences and the organic diseases caused by them. Therefore, “Bach Flowers” are used in the prevention and complex treatment of any diseases.

Thus, Dr. Bach illustrated the different reactions of human types and the positive attitude that flower medicines restore.

After the first "flower" discoveries, Dr. Bach stopped research work at a London homeopathic clinic and opened a medical practice in the countryside. When he discovered twelve plants, from the flowers of which he prepared infusions that healed mental problems, he decided that these remedies were his gift to people, most of whom lived in poverty and did not have the opportunity to see a doctor. He wrote a short book, The Twelve Healers and other Remedies, in which he described the first infusions and explained their purpose.

“We must first treat the present. To allow the patient to dwell on his past is to hinder his healing... The disease of the past belongs to the past... What we really need to do is to address the present state of the patient, the state in which the patient is at the moment. And even when we see the same patient next week, we have to do things differently because it’s a completely new person.” Dr. Edward Bach

Bach's flowers in psychology

“Diseases, especially chronic ones, are only a consequence of mental disharmony. They arise when there is a conflict between our physical “I” with feelings and desires and our Higher “I”."

Therefore, treatment of a person’s condition is impossible unless the person is helped to change his behavior, and the consequence will be an improvement in well-being. True treatment, and not just physical, allows you to learn from your ailments, when thoughts change, a person is able to show his best qualities.

The potentials that the human soul strives to realize through the physical “I” - courage, constancy, determination, joy - are the happiness of a person. If they are not developed, then sooner or later a person begins to feel unhappy, people do not see his virtues, and illness begins.

“Illness is not a punishment, but only a correction; it points out errors even more serious than, apparently, and brings even more Truth and Light,” thought Dr. Bach.

He considered himself the spiritual successor of Hippocrates and Paracelsus, just as they were convinced that diseases do not exist, only sick people exist, and it is in man himself that universal healing mechanisms are inherent, he has his own, internal potential, sufficient to recover himself, he only needs look into yourself. Have you tried to look inside yourself?

You are suffering from an irreparable loss... Maybe you are overly jealous... Lost interest in life... Tired... Afraid of the future... Worried about your loved ones... You are consumed by resentment or guilt...

We think that the disease begins in the physical body, we try to cure ourselves with pills and cannot understand why it cannot be treated.

At the beginning of the last century, the English physician and researcher Dr. Bach noticed that the energy contained in plants affects our state of mind. Observing his patients, he saw that emotions were the clear cause of their illness. As a result of many years of practical research, he identified 38 deviations from the normal emotional state.

To correct his emotional state, he used infusions of certain flowers.

We ourselves have no idea what plants can do for us. Our main problem is internal disharmony between soul and consciousness.

The goal that Dr. Bach pursued was to change a person’s attitude towards his illness. Its natural preparations help to heal from negative emotions, prevent the onset of illness and improve physical health.

Recently, there has been less and less doubt that negative emotional states are the strongest catalyst for the occurrence of diseases. Today it is no secret to anyone that emotional factors can radically (both positively and negatively) influence the course of biological processes. Moreover, negative emotions tend to be deposited in the depths of our consciousness in the form of a kind of “unpleasant sediment”, often unconscious to us, which subsequently affects our character, disrupts the adequacy of perception of the outside world, reaction to external influences and, as a result, leads to various diseases.

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

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

Edward studied medicine at the University College Hospital of London (University College Hospital, London), and he received his degree in medicine at Cambridge.

The young doctor became closely involved in bacteriology, and he soon discovered that there was a certain relationship between some diseases and the state of the microflora of patients. By that time, Bach was working at the very famous London Homeopathic Hospital, and soon he had already identified seven groups of intestinal bacteria, for which he developed seven vaccines, which were later called Bach's nosodes (nosodes are homeopathic remedies). However, they were used mainly in Edward’s homeland – Britain.

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

When Edward turned 30, he himself was diagnosed with cancer. According to doctors' forecasts, he then had no more than three months to live. However, these predictions turned out to be wrong, and Bach lived for another 19 years. It is known that he never resorted to surgery, instead using his own method of treatment. So, his discovery, which later made him famous, was Flower Therapy.

So, having learned 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 impact on a person’s state of mind. So, he came to the conclusion that certain types of flowers are able to relieve him of negative emotions, as well as generally improve his health. Soon Bach had already prepared his first three flower infusions, and these solutions, no matter what the skeptics said, worked! It was later proven that flower elixirs were prepared in ancient civilizations.

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

His essences enjoyed enormous success even after the death of Edward Bach, who died on November 27, 1936. Today, these flower preparations are used in many alternative health organizations in Europe and the United States.
