Who was Dr. Edward Bach?
The Bach Original Flower Remedies were developed by Dr. Edward Bach, a Harley Street doctor and well known physician, bacteriologist, homeopath and researcher. Dr. Bach studied medicine at the University College Hospital in London, where he was a House Surgeon. He also worked in general practice from his office on Harley Street. As a bacteriologist, and later a pathologist, he worked on vaccines and a set of homoeopathic nosodes still known as the seven Bach nosodes.
Despite the success of his work with orthodox medicine, he felt dissatisfied with the way doctors were expected to concentrate on diseases and ignore the people who were suffering from them. He was inspired by his work with homoeopathy, but wanted to find remedies that would be purer and less reliant on the products of disease. In 1930 he gave up his lucrative practice and left London, determined to devote the rest of his life to a new system of medicine that he was sure could be found in nature.
Just as he had abandoned his old home, office and work, so now he abandoned the scientific methods he had used up until now. Instead he chose to rely on his natural gifts as a healer, and use his intuition to guide him. One by one he found the remedies he wanted, each aimed at a particular mental state or emotion. His life followed a seasonal pattern: the spring and summer spent looking for and preparing the remedies, the winter spent giving help and advice to all who came looking for them. He found that when he treated the personalities and feelings of his patients, their unhappiness and physical distress would be alleviated as the natural healing potential in their bodies was unblocked and allowed to work once more.
Dr. Bach believed that attitude plays a vital role in maintaining health and recovering from illness, and wanted to find something that treated the cause rather than the symptom. After identifying 38 basic negative states of mind and spending several years exploring the countryside, he eventually managed to create a plant or flower based remedy for each one.
In 1934 he decided to settle down and start a center for his work, and chose Mount Vernon, a small cottage in Sotwell, Oxfordshire.
He spent the last years of his life at Mount Vernon, now known as the Bach Centre, and it was here that he completed his research. Dr. Bach passed away peacefully on the evening of November 27th, 1936. He was only 50 years old, but he left behind several lifetimes of experience and effort, and a system of medicine that is now used all over the world.
How The Bach Remedies Are Made
Preparing the Bach Original Flower Remedies is a three step process:
Step One: Mother tinctures are prepared from plant material and natural spring water using either the Sun or Boiling Method as defined by Dr. Bach.
Step Two: The mother tincture is made up of the energized spring water [Step one] mixed with an equal quantity of 40% brandy. The brandy acts purely as a preservative for the remedy.
Step Three: To make the stock bottle, the mother tincture is then added to 27% grape alcohol.
There are two methods of preparing the mother tinctures for the Bach Original Flower Remedies.
Sun Method & Boiling Method.
The Sun Method:
Dr. Bach used this method to make 20 of the remedies, most of which are delicate flowers that bloom in the height of summer.
The Boiling Method:
Dr. Bach used this method to prepare the remaining 18 remedies, from heartier trees, bushes and plants, most of which flower in the early part of the year.
The Bach Centre
The Dr. Edward Bach Centre (Oxfordshire, England) was the home and workplace of Dr. Bach in the last years of his life, when he completed his research into the flower remedies. Today, it is run by friends and colleagues that he trained and to whom he entrusted full responsibility to adhere to his exact methods of preparation. While there are a number of flower essences now available, only the Bach Original Flower Remedies are created at Mount Vernon. Each one bears the Bach signature to guarantee it has been made as Dr. Bach requested.
Making mother tinctures is, of course, the most famous activity that goes on at the Bach Centre. In addition, Mount Vernon has become the world center for education and information on Dr. Bach's work, including publications and referral to practitioners. The Centre is open to visitors, and in everything done there, the aim is to maintain the simplicity and purity of Dr. Bach's work in the way he intended.
