The Bach System.
This method of treatment and the 38 remedies that comprise its pharmacopoeia were discovered by Edward Bach, a renowned physician who practiced for over twenty years in
London as a Harley Street consultant and as a bacteriologist. He sought remedies in the plant world which would restore vitality to the sick and ailing, so that the sufferer would be able to overcome their
worry, fear, or depression, and in that manner assist in their own healing.
The remedies used in this method of treatment are all prepared from the flowers of wild plants, bushes or trees. None are
harmful or habit forming. They are prescribed, not directly for the physical complaint, but rather according to the sufferer's state of mind, according to their moods of fear, worry, anger or depression. An
inharmonious state of mind will not only hinder the recovery of health and retard convalescence, but it is the primary cause of sickness and disease. It is well known that a long continued fear or worry will
deplete an individual's vitality; it will cause them to feel out of sorts, below par or not themselves. Under these conditions, the body loses its natural resistance to disease. It is in a fit state to
become prey to any infection and any form of illness, whether it is a cold, rheumatism, digestive disturbances or any of the more serious diseases. Therefore, it is the patient, not the disease, who needs
the treatment. |
