Bach Flowers is the world's most famous homeopathic extract
The most famous Bach extracts are those used to treat cases of shock, anxiety or severe tension, which are called "Rescue Remedy" and are considered the most famous drug in the world today.
Bach flowers are a group of flower essences with homeopathic properties developed by Dr. Edward Bach, an English immunologist and homeopath in the 30s of the last decade.
Dr. Bach believed that the dew drops on the crown leaves of different flowers had certain therapeutic properties, especially for the same flower. According to Dr. Bach's concepts, these therapeutic properties are particularly effective in treating mental illnesses , such as depression, insomnia , stress, anxiety and other mental illnesses.
Bach became acquainted with Ayurveda, through which he was convinced that the treatment process is not limited to the patient's physical condition only, but is also affected by his psychological condition. Which led him to believe that the extract of flowers, which he claimed was suitable for different psychological conditions, helps to improve the psychological and then the physical condition of the patient.
Bach decided to continue his research, and moved to live in a rural area in England, where he experimented with the extracts he extracted from different flowers. His efforts resulted in finding 38 types of flower essences, which he classified into 7 groups.
There is a group to treat fear, and another for lack of self-confidence, loneliness / isolation, hypersensitivity and others.
The most famous of Bach's essences are those used to treat cases of shock, anxiety or severe stress, called Rescue Remedy. This extract is considered the most popular drug in the world today, as many people accept it before exams or important interviews, as an alternative to calming pills.
Despite the wide popularity of Bach flowers, clinical research has shown that these extracts are similar in effect to a placebo (a placebo - a drug that does not contain any active substance, and has no effect on the patient's body), because it is diluted with water. These extracts are odorless or tasteless and are taken orally.
Despite this, Bach flower essences are still considered a highly demanded homeopathic remedy in the world
