 Evolution of the
Concepts
presented by
Dr. Edward Bach

6/16/2019 Dr.Deepak 4
 Dr Bach passed away peacefully on the evening of November
27th, 1936. He was only 50 years old, he left behind him several
lifetimes' experience and effort, and a system of medicine that is
now used all over the world.

Dr Edward Bach studied medicine at the University College

Hospital, London, and was a House Surgeon there. He worked in
general practice, having a set of consulting rooms in Harley
Street, and as a bacteriologist and later a pathologist he worked
on vaccines and a set of homoeopathic nosodes still known as the
seven Bach nosodes.

He wrote 22 books which remain as best sellers in the area of

Flower remedies

6/16/2019 Dr.Deepak 5
 Edward Bach: (1886-1936)..
During his medical training he
noticed that
Mental and Emotional Conditions

 Influenced the Course of Recovery

 Effected the Efficiency of Administered
Medicines.

6/16/2019 Dr.Deepak 6
 He concluded . . .

That the mind and emotions

played an important role in
process of disease
and cure

6/16/2019 Dr.Deepak 7
After completion of his medical
training and branching in to
Bacteriology…….

 He identified
7 major types of personalities.
 He now began to study closely the mental
and physical differences of these 7 types
which he had identified. . .
6/16/2019 Dr.Deepak 8
 Each type of personality had its own
distinct specific intestinal flora,
indicating that

 intestinal flora not only mirror physical

health but also
have an affinity with the

type of personality and its
major mental / emotional tendencies.

Dr.Deepak 10
 The new theory was accepted readily in the
early 20s and pointed that

Intestinal toxemia, that is caused by

non-lactose fermenting
organisms are the leading cause of
chronic diseases.

6/16/2019 Dr.Deepak 11
  Accordingly Bach Bowels Nosodes (based on
personality traits) were administered to cleanse
the system from within and help body ward off
symptoms of chronic diseases.
Intestinal Toxemia Chronic disease

 While studying the responses he was increasingly

convinced that true origin of disease lay in Mental
and Emotional imbalance with the intestinal
toxemia arising there from.
Mental imbalance Intestinal Toxemia Ch. Disease

6/16/2019 Dr.Deepak 12
  He felt his current theory neglected this
important aspect. Instead of concentrating
on the mind as a causative factor, the
Nosodes were recognized and used toward
cure of physical diseases alone.
He Finally Formulated the theory

That all chronic diseases

start in the mind and emotions,
unless obvious external factors were
responsible
6/16/2019 Dr.Deepak 13
 He felt that much physical suffering
could be prevented if Remedies akin to
the Nosodes were found that were

prescribed on mental / emotional

characteristics thereby preventing
physical symptoms.

6/16/2019 Dr.Deepak 14
 Search intensifies . . .

Took inspiration from Homoeopathy and made changes in his method-

• Moved away from syringes to pill form

of administration of medicines.

• Moved away from usage of Nosodes

(made from diseased product) to natural
healing plant for healing

6/16/2019 Dr.Deepak 15
 Star of Shock, Depression Anxiety
Bethlehem Morgan Introspection and grief

Mimulus Dysentry. Fear apprehension, nervousness and

Gaertner Shyness

Impatiens Faecalis Irritability, anger impatience and

and Proteus nervous strain

Baccilus Non alertness, sleepiness and

Clematis No 7 absentminded ness and dreaminess

6/16/2019 Dr.Deepak 16
 He abandoned his use of Nosodes completely and
concentrated his efforts in identifying the foremost mental/
emotional imbalances found in man while collecting and
researching possible corresponding healing plants.

He was able to identify 12 outstanding states of

mind or 12 personality types basic to humanity.
He integrated the earlier 7 types of personalities
that he had identified initially in to his new
perspective.

6/16/2019 Dr.Deepak 18
Helpers
 Over years he identified 7
more additional states,
which complimented the
basic 12. He named them
“Helpers” or those that
are complementary to the
core 12 states.

6/16/2019 Dr.Deepak 19
 Whereas the 12 Healers address major parts or
personality traits

Helpers deal with long standing states of mental and

emotional suffering that have become entrenched in the
character as a whole and have begun to over shadow the
true personality.
Helpers not only help mental states but also temporary
upsets.

6/16/2019 Dr.Deepak 20
 THE HELPERS
13. Hopelessness (Gorse)
14. Despondency from over work (Oak)

17. Lack of motivation (Wild oat)
18. Mental/Emotional and (Olive)
physical weakness
19. Domination of others (vine)

6/16/2019 Dr.Deepak 21
  The last 19 states were
temporary states of mind that
arise due to the
Circumstantial experiences of
life, they can be part of
personality for prolonged
periods of time but are not
considered typical
characteristic traits.
 These were prepared from
bushes and trees.

6/16/2019 Dr.Deepak 24
 For Those Who have Fear
 Rock Rose : Rock Rose heals acute states of extreme fear and terror and
their after effects. During an acute state, there may be feeling of great danger,
sometimes with the urge to run, and the mind is racing also. There may be
fear of death. In chronic cases, Rock Rose treats sensitive nervous systems
and states of chronic anxiety.
Goal: courage self – transcendence, true heroism
 Mimulus : The mind goes forward anticipating fearful events and shrinking
away from them with a sense of dread. Mimulus treats concrete fears of
known objects, situations, or people.
Goal: facing feared events with courage and trust.
 Cherry Plum : In the negative cherry plum state, the mind is struggling to
hold down threatening impulses from the unconscious, because he/she knows
them to be wrong and does not want to engage in them. There is anticipatory
fear that the impulse will win and control will give way.
Goal : Learning to understand the true meaning of the impulses arising from
the unconscious, and learning to integrate them into the conscious mind in a
healthy, non- threatening way.

6/16/2019 Dr.Deepak 25
 For Those Who have Fear
 Aspen :The mind is in a fearful state with a sense of foreboding
without knowing what exactly threatens. There is free –
floating anxiety and a feeling of being vulnerable to outside
forces that are sinister and out of one’s control. Vague spooky
feelings and superstitions are easily stimulated.
Goal : faith that one is safe and guarded.

 Red Chestnut: The mind goes out to a loved one with fear that
something bad or dangerous might befall him/her. Typically the
loved one is removed and out of the immediate watch –care of
the one in fear, and there is the feeling that one is out of control
of the situation and cannot guard the other. With this state,
there may be great nervousness and agitation.
Goal: Releasing the other to his destiny with faith.

6/16/2019 Dr.Deepak 26
 For Those Who Suffer Uncertainty
 Cerato: within oneself, there is uncertainty and lack of decisiveness. One’s
own ability to make decisions is not trusted and others are often asked for
advice. Often there is lack of inner assuredness of lack of self – confidence .
Goal : Inner assuredness and wisdom ; increasing intuitive powers.

 Scleranthus : Uncertainty results from having to choose between two options,

usually of some magnitude, and not being able to make up one’s mind. There
is dread of making the wrong decision, of having to let go of one option
which might have been the better one in hindsight. Typically there is flooding
of the mind with details and arguments, and one loses perspective.
Goal : Lifting the mind to a higher vantage point so that a new perspective
and overview can be gained .Reliance on inner wisdom.

 Gentian : Uncertainty extends into the area of action and doing. In the
negative gentian state, one is easily discouraged and often gives up an
activity when obstacles arise.
Goal : faith in one’s ability and perseverance. Faith in general

6/16/2019 Dr.Deepak 27
 For Those Who Suffer Uncertainty
 Gorse : In the negative gorse state, there is loss of certainty and hope that
anything can be done to be saved or to save oneself from the undesired
condition, one is in.
Goal : New hope.

 Hornbeam : Uncertainty lies in the inability to focus the mind with clarity and
power of concentration to the tasks at hand. The mind , and to some extent also
the body, seems tired, prone to procrastination and bent on avoiding prolonged
effort.
Goal : Mental clarity and joy of attending to one’s tasks.

 Wild oat: In the negative wild oat state, there is uncertainty in the area of
motivation and incentive in regard to choosing a current activity or a whole life
path. There may be a passing interest in various activities which are abandoned,
since certainty of endeavor and true satisfaction are missing daily chores may be
accomplished with a sense of boredom or with aversion .
Goal : Rekindling of joy and incentive while engaging in current activities
deemed necessary or worthwhile. Inner certainty in one’s quest for actualization
of one’s potentials.

6/16/2019 Dr.Deepak 28
 Not sufficient interest in present circumstances
 Clematis : one does not believe that happiness can be found in the
present, and the mind wanders with longing to a time in the future
when fulfillment is hoped for. There is daydreaming and absent –
mindedness.
Goal : Trust that happiness is to be found here and now and that one
can reach for it.
 Honeysuckle : In the negative Honeysuckle state, one dwells with
nostalgic feelings in the memories of happiness once experienced in
the past, believing that the present or future will never duplicate that
happiness.
Goal : Trust that present and future promise and hold new happiness.
Gratitude for previous happiness.
 Wild Rose : The present denotes hardship and unhappiness that one
feels powerless to rise above. As a consequence one loses interest in
the present and experiences apathy and lack of involvement.
Goal : To feel empowered again in regard to changing one’s lot

6/16/2019 Dr.Deepak 29
 Not sufficient interest in present circumstances
 Olive : Mind and body are too exhausted to attend with full capacity to the
tasks at hand. There is great fatigue with the urge to remove from involvement
in present circumstances and give in to the need to rest.
Goal : To strengthen and revitalize mind / emotions and body.

 White Chestnut : The mind is preoccupied with worrisome thoughts of a

serious nature that have more impact than the circumstances of the present
moment and remove the person there from.
Goal : To increase serenity of mind so that worrisome thoughts can be kept
at bay and free the mind devotion to the present.

 Mustard : The mind is overshadowed by depression and gloom. Making it

almost impossible for the person to find joy in the present circumstances.
Goal : To bring light and incentive to the mind so life appeals again.

 Chestnut Bud : The mind is unsettled and impulsive, too restless to attend to
the circumstances of the present. As a consequence, there is lack of depth –
involvement with issues at hand, and life’s lessons and experiences may not
be grasped in their deeper meaning.
 Goal : To find calm and deepen understanding and learning of life’s lessons.

6/16/2019 Dr.Deepak 30
 Loneliness
 Water violet : Loneliness of mind and heart that arises from
removing self from people and putting oneself above them,
instead of tuning in to inner natures and bonding with them.
Goal : spontaneous affection, easy opening up toward others,
‘we are all created equal .’’
 Impatiens : Inner loneliness exists because one is quick in
thought and action and urges others on to follow, without taking
their inner needs, their personal pace and individual natures
into account.
Goal : To allow others to unfold according to their individual
pace; patience based on inner kindness.
 Heather : Inner loneliness comes from not connecting fully
with others and their personal needs. Instead, one is overly
concerned with one’s own affairs and needs, and one gives in to
the strong urges to talk about them.
Goal : To become a good listener and tune in to other’s
problems, which leads to de – emphasis of one’s own concerns.
6/16/2019 Dr.Deepak 31
 Oversensitive to influences and ideas
 Agrimony : The mind is overly sensitive to discord and disharmony in the
environment, especially since there is already internal restlessness and worry,
plus the effort to find peace within one’s own mind .
Goal : To strengthen inner peace so that outside discord is not too disturbing
 Centaury : Over sensitivity comes from being too open and receptive to the
expectations and demands of others, enhanced by one’s desire to love and
serve.
Goal :To keep one’s own needs in mind, while upholding one’s good
intentions and joy of service.
 Walnut : The mind is overly sensitive to all impressions and influences from
the outside, especially during transitional stages of life when the person
leaves behind a definite structure of living and is open to new impressions.
Goal : To give inner stability, reduce vulnerability to impressions that may
disturb inner balance and deter from the state of being true to oneself.
 Holly : The mind / emotions and body are overly sensitive to upsetting
circumstances within the environment, or to personally perceived
circumstances of threat, that create vexations, irritation, and the need to
‘’fight back.’’ Emotions of a strong and vehement nature are easily stirred up
and may turn the person away from kindheartedness, if only temporarily.
Goal : To stay focused on love and kindness ; forbearance

6/16/2019 Dr.Deepak 32
 For Despondency or Despair
 Larch : shaken self –confidence, possibly leading to despondency and despair, arises
from lack of those joyful and devoted experiences with people and tasks that would
improve self-esteem and knowledge of one’s capacities. Preoccupation and worry
about self may further prevent healthful engagement and stabilized self –esteem.
Goal : creating balanced and sturdy self-confidence by reducing focus on oneself and
devoting to people and tasks.
 Pine :Despondency and despair center around guilt feelings that one feels unable to
rise above. Self blame and regret may be high.
Goal : Resolve to not repeat the same fault and forgive oneself. Self –forgive others
with similar faults.
 Elm : The mind feels overwhelmed by tasks or happenings, and a state of
despondency or despair may come on, since one does not feel empowered or in charge
enough to get a handle on things.
Goal : To give inner calm so that tasks can be mastered one at a time.
 Sweet chestnut : Despondency and despair arise from not seeing meaning in life and
giving one’s thoughts to faithlessness and nihilism.
Goal : To have faith and trust in a meaningful universe and be open to guidance by
one’s inner truth and love.
 Star of Bethlehem : sadness , grief, or the bad effects from trauma cause despondency
or despair.
Goal : To soothe and comfort the heart and release trauma.

 Few Cases
Ten-year-old boy
This is a case I like to mention when giving talks on the remedies,
since it illustrates the physical effects of being out of balance so
clearly. It is the case of a ten year old boy who could not get out of
his home without having a bad bout of diarrhoea. It was found that
this condition had started a little after his father had an almost fatal
car accident, and had to spend a couple of months in hospital.
I gave him Star of Bethlehem for the shock, and Aspen for his
general state of apprehension and dread. Chicory was his type
remedy, shown by the fact that he wanted his father all to himself,
and was always seeking attention and bossing his brother around. I
also gave him Larch to help him regain his confidence.
Within a very short time he started to feel better and was soon living
a normal life again

6/16/2019 Dr.Deepak 43
New mother
I was introducing the remedies to a ‘mother-to-be’ who was becoming very temperamental
high irritable and had a sharp tongue which her family feared during the last stage of her
pregnancy. She lived in a remote area and, at her request, I went to meet her.
This was P’s first baby. It seemed that she was very irritable with everyone around her and
found herself shouting and becoming difficult to be with. Nobody could do anything to
satisfy her and she was in a hurry for the baby to arrive so that she could get on with her life.
I felt that Impatiens was the only remedy needed.
It happened that two days later the weather forecast was pretty grim and it seemed that
heavy rains were on its way. The hospital decided that P should admit in at once, otherwise it
might be difficult for travel to hospital when her labour started.

Once she was in the hospital the staff there decided to induce the birth. But each time the
day came for the procedure to start another pregnant lady arrived at the cottage, in full
labour, who obviously had to be seen to first. Day after day went by and in the end it was a
full ten days before the staff could get around to inducing her baby.
How did this impatient, irritable mother cope with the delay?
Her family, the nursing staff, and P herself, were absolutely amazed at her patience and good
humour. She laughed each time another mum was brought in, and she was pushed once
more to the back of the queue. They praised her, and she became a talking point amongst the
staff. She told them her secret - IMPATIENS!

6/16/2019 Dr.Deepak 44
 Common Question and Answers

 How does one use a remedy? Drink it? Sniff it? Apply it to the skin?
The remedies come as a liquid, preserved in brandy. To take them, you dilute two drops
of each remedy that you need into a 30ml dropper bottle, top up with mineral water,
and take four drops four times a day. Alternatively you can put the two drops into a
glass of water, and sip from that at intervals
 I know that is correct to put maximum five remedies in the same bottle. But I
want to know what is the right thing to do if someone needs more than five
remedies? Is it right to put the extra remedies in another bottle and take them
alternatively? What do you suggest?
In fact it's quite usual to give six or seven remedies together at the same time, and this
is the maximum we suggest people work with. Dr Bach is known to have given nine
remedies together on two occasions, but remember he was seeing thousands of people
over a period of many years.
 What is the likelihood of reactions and rashes, eg to Star of Bethlehem, Crab
Apple, and how are they caused?
The Bach Flower Remedies work by flooding out negative feelings and emotions.
Sometimes the emotions that are dealt with have been repressed for some time and in
order to clear them they have to be cleansed from the system. On very rare occasions
this can take the form of a rash, or unexpected feelings may be stirred up. Where such
things do occur they can be disregarded and there is no reason to stop taking the
remedies.

 Common Question and Answers

 Can you take Bach Flower Remedies in tea, coffee and so on?
You can put the remedies in tea, coffee, fizzy drinks etc., and in this respect they
are not like homoeopathic remedies.

 I would like to know if I can place the remedy drops into hot drinks without
destroying their healing properties.
Yes, you can put the drops into hot drinks - water, tea, coffee etc. This will not
affect the potency of the remedies, and because the heat will evaporate the alcohol
in the remedies it is a method we sometimes recommend to people who for one
reason or another dislike the alcohol content

 Are there any combinations of remedies that should never be used?

No. Even the remedies that might appear to be direct opposites (Vervain and Wild
Rose, for example, or Vine and Centaury) may occasionally be needed at once by
the same person. It all depends on the personality and current emotional states of
the person being treated
 I get so confused how many drops to take out of different sizes of bottle. Help!
You always take two drops out of a single remedy stock bottle, whether you
are putting it in your mouth or in a glass or in a treatment bottle. You always
take four drops out of Rescue Remedy, again whether you are putting it in
your mouth or in a glass or in a treatment bottle. And you always take four
drops out of a mixed treatment bottle. Simple!
