| | Flower remedies are used to treat a variety of physical and emotional conditions. They are tinctures of wild plant extracts that were created in the early 1900s by Edward Bach. Bach believed that flower essences could help the body heal itself. He identified 38 different plants that contained the necessary energy to help the body overcome negative emotions. |
