These remedies are not only prepared from wild flowers but also plants and trees. They originate from the 1920’s and 30’s when Dr Edward Bach, the homeopath who discovered this system, realised that these flower remedies helped a person re - find their positive side. There are 38 remedies in all and the appropriate ones can be taken in combination. They work to treat the individual rather than the ailment/problem and gently help with managing emotions.
