Dr. Edward Bach believed that each person comes into this world, already endowed with some kind of purpose - the main lesson that he needs to learn. In order to realize this individual goal, a person must follow the dictates of his soul. As long as the soul and mind are in harmony, a person is healthy and lives a full, rich life. Disease arises as a result of a conflict between the soul and the mind, when the mind, seized by pride and involved in desires imposed from outside, does not hear the voice of the soul.

Let us now consider how the system of diagnostics and therapy of Dr. Bach developed as he accumulated knowledge and experience in treating patients with flower essences.

12 healers

Edward Bach believed that every person is naturally inherent in certain inclinations, which can later develop into vices and virtues, depending on the conditions surrounding the person and his decisions with the ensuing consequences. Bach called these innate inclinations primary personality types ( primarypersonalitytypes). For example, a person with one innate type will be prone to such a vice as indifference and the lesson for him is the development of the virtue of compassion; for another congenital type, the most likely pair will be "limitation - love", etc. As a result, Bach identified 12 primary personality types with their characteristic possible vices and missing virtues, and for each of these types he chose a flower-healer. This set of twelve flower essences is called "12 healers" ( twelvehealers).

Table 1 - Twelve healers

Vice Virtue Healer
Limitation Love Chicory
Fear, fear Sympathy Lipstick (Mimulus)
Anxiety Calmness Agrimony
Indecision Persistence Divala annual (Scleranthus)
Indifference Kindness Clematis
Weakness Force Centaury
Mistrust Understanding Meadow gentian (Gentian)
Excessive enthusiasm Tolerance, resilience Vervain
Ignorance, stupidity Wisdom Ceratostigma Wilmott (Cerato)
Impatience, irritability Forgiveness Ferrous balsam (Impatiens)
Guardian, horror Courage, courage Monofilament sunflower (Rock rose)
Sadness Joy Turcha marsh (Water Violet)

In his works, Edward Bach gives more detailed descriptions of the primary types of personality in the pathological variant of their development, i.e. with undeveloped virtues. For example, here is a description of people with the "restriction" defect ( restriction), for which the flower-healer is chicory.

Seeking to use others for their own purposes, money-grubbing. They are talkative and tire others with their chatter. Bad listeners, constantly transfer the topic of conversation to the sphere of their own interests. They make others worry about all sorts of trifles - it seems that they seek to give others no rest or peace. "Obsessed" on yourself (selfcentered), with a heavy temper, concerned only with their own affairs. Their liveliness, which at first seems attractive, then quickly gets bored by everyone.

They need company, they hate loneliness, but in fact they are afraid of it, because they depend on others in terms of nourishing their vitality (vitality). In order to attract attention and arouse sympathy, they like to complain about life and talk about their problems and, in general, feel sorry for themselves. Can feign illness to arouse pity and attention from others. If they are unable to get what they want, they become vicious, vengeful and cruel. Persistent in achieving their goals. They are very demanding of friends and family and, although not always consciously, "pull" a lot of vitality from others.

Often thin and pale, with oily skin, sensitive to cold. Characterized by chronic headaches, indigestion, constipation, colds and inflammation of the upper respiratory tract, irritability. Worry and anxiety are powerful and often cause abdominal discomfort or pain. The appetite is increased.

A drug[chicory flower essence] in addition to eliminating symptoms in this type of patient, it stimulates compassion for others in them, which corresponds to their lesson: to shift their focus from themselves to those around them, and thus, thanks to this compassion for their victims, they will stop aggressive actions and can devote themselves to serving those whom they previously deprived of vitality.

Their lesson is to become selfless through devotion to others (selfless).

Bach placed divine love at the center of the personality structure, comparing it with the Sun, and in the first layer surrounding it was the primary type of personality with its characteristic “vice-virtue” pairs. Initially, Bach limited himself to this model, considering the development of missing virtues with the help of flower essences and the patient's own "spiritual and mental efforts" as the main method of treatment: awareness of the true cause of the disease as a conflict of soul and mind, pacification of pride and acceptance of the world around, understanding the principle of unity and interconnection of everything existence, recognition of the presence of the divine principle in oneself divinity) .

7 assistants

Then, in the process of practice, Dr. Bach discovered that in some cases it is difficult to determine the patient's primary personality type, since it can be "blurred" and masked by "life strategies" that arise as an ineffective (in the long term) result of the work of protective-adaptive systems and manifest in the "fixation" of a person on the use of any one behavioral strategy - for example, an autocrat constantly striving to dominate, a pedantic stubborn idealist, or a hard worker who stubbornly and patiently pulls his load.

In one of his articles, Bach described it in these words:

Many patients are so accustomed to their illness that it begins to seem part of their own essence, making it difficult to recognize their true identity; instead of seeking healing, they have changed and adapted their lives according to their illness ... Such people lose a significant part of their individuality, their personality, and need to be helped to get out of the impasse into which they have wandered.

The primary personality type, as a rule, is well detected in children, and 12 healers usually have a more pronounced effect on them than on adults. This is due to the fact that in children, the primary personality type has not yet been closed by the protective shell of fixed life strategies.

Edward Bach divided such patients with a "disguised" primary personality type into two groups: "red" and "pale" patients, for each of which he then identified 3 help drugs. At the end of this research, Bach described another remedy made from wild oats, which he considered to be almost a universal remedy necessary for most patients. this assistant gave a person the opportunity to “feel the ground under his feet”, helped him in finding himself.

For me personally, the division of patients into "red" and "pale" has caused an association with the well-known stress response of "fight-or-flight" (fight-or-flight).

Table 2 - Seven helpers

"Pale" patient "Red" patient
European gorse (Gorse) - lost hope, desperate, withdrawn, blaming himself. Heather is a chatterbox, seeks attention, feels isolated from others, and from himself, too, chatters to compensate, losing the thread of conversation and meaning.
Olive - exhausted and surrendered, almost without emotion, apathy. Spring water (Rock water) is a rigid pedantic idealist with high conceit and high demands on himself and others.
Oak (Oak) - silently and stubbornly pulling his load hard worker, believes that life is a hard struggle. Grape (Vine) - an autocrat seeking to dominate, a dictator.
Wild oat - “Lost”, confused, not knowing what to devote himself to.

So, the purpose of an assistant drug is to free the patient from a chronic dead-end situation, restore his individuality, and then drugs from the category of healers can be used for his treatment.

But over time, the practice again made its additions to the system of Edward Bach. To the already existing nineteen drugs he added nineteen new ones, which Bach called: "Second 19" ( Thesecondnineteen). Their distinctive features are: a different preparation technology (these are no longer infusions, but decoctions) and, as a rule, a faster and more pronounced effect on the recipient.

Table 3 - Second 19

A drug

Indications for appointment

Cherry Plum Fear of losing control of yourself.
Elm (Elm) Feeling overwhelmed by many responsibilities.
Aspen Unclear fears (without a perceived reason).
Horse Chestnut Buds Repetition of the same mistakes in life.
Larch (Larch) Feelings of self-doubt and constant expectation of failure.
Hornbeam Feeling a lack of physical or mental strength to carry out normal daily duties.
Willow Feelings of resentment and self-pity.
Beech Criticism and intolerance towards others
Apple tree "wild" (Crab Apple) Feeling of internal pollution.
Walnut Excessive exposure to other people's influence.
Holly (Holly) Feelings of hurt, envy, schadenfreude, desire for revenge.
Birdhouse (Star of Bethlehem) A state of grief and sadness after an acute traumatic situation.
White Chestnut Obsessive thoughts.
Horse Chestnut Meat Red (Red Chestnut) Obsessive worry about someone.
Pine Feelings of guilt, constant self-blame.
Fragrant honeysuckle (Honeysuckle) A person lives only in the past, not expecting anything good from the future.
Rosehip (Wild Rose) Loss of interest in the environment.
Field mustard (Mustard) Periodic and sudden depressive conditions.
Sweet Chestnut Feelings of despair and hopelessness.

Dr. Bach left no written instructions on the features of the action and prescription of drugs from a series of the second nineteen. In a letter to his friend, he says about the second 19, that these new drugs are "more spiritual" and "act on a different plane" compared to the previous ones, but does not go into details. Thus, we do not know the reasons that prompted him to switch from the method of infusing flowers to boiling them. Also, Bach did not revise and left the same technology for the preparation of essences from the category of "healers" and "helpers".

If 12 healers were correlated by Bach with primary personality types, and 7 assistants - with life strategies, then the second 19 can be associated with ways of responding to everyday difficulties. At least this is the opinion of the majority of the followers of Edward Bach.

Based on these considerations, it is possible to imagine the structure of the personality as "multilayered" - consisting of a core (integrity, unconditional love), a layer of innate properties (primary personality types), a layer of life strategies and a layer of psycho-emotional responses to stressful situations.

Figure 1 - Multi-layered personality structure

Thus, to treat a patient with the help of flower essences, at first it is advisable to work with the “outer layer” of psycho-emotional reactions to stress typical for him, using the “second 19”, then (if necessary) free him from dead-end life strategies using drugs-“helpers” , and, in the end, to use drugs-"healers" to establish a connection with the core of the personality and restore the dialogue of Soul and mind.

This approach to diagnosis and treatment, using the division of drugs into categories of "healers", "helpers" and "second 19", was called 12: 7: 19 (according to the number of drugs in each group).

Another, (later) approach, developed by Bach in an effort to simplify the diagnosis and treatment with flower essences as much as possible, was described by him in 1936. This method consists in dividing all 38 drugs into 7 groups:

  • fear
  • uncertainty
  • lack of interest in the environment
  • feeling of loneliness, uselessness
  • excessive exposure to other people's influences
  • hopelessness and despair
  • tendency to dictate and overprotect

Thus, several flower essences are included in each group. Further, for each essence, more detailed descriptions of psycho-emotional states are given, which are indications for its use.

Composition of the preparation

Bach drops are a very popular and equally effective remedy for relieving stress and tension. It is completely natural. These Emotional Relief Drops include a blend of five flower essences developed by Dr. Bach.

1. Umbrella birdhouse - soothes mental pain and brings comfort.

2. Grape-leaved clematis - relieves the symptom of numbness, absence, loss of consciousness, split, after which fainting usually occurs.

3. Split plum - from confusion and despair, useful when a person is on the verge of a nervous breakdown or in fear of losing control.

4. Common touchy - relieves irritability and mental tension.

5. Monofilament sunflower - from horror and panic.

These five ingredients create an excellent, and most importantly, natural, stress reliever.

The main merit of Dr. Bach's flower elixirs, which some professional doctors advise to use today, is that they harmonize our emotions. Attacks of melancholy, sleep disturbances, lack of self-confidence ... Bach elixirs help with many problems. They were created in the thirties by the English physician Edward Bach and have served our emotional well-being ever since.
About eighty years ago, the English homeopathic doctor and therapist Edward Bach (1887-1936), using improved methods of distillation and solarization, created 38 monocomponent floral elixirs, which he first of all tested on himself.
Flower elixirs of Doctor Bach do not cure diseases, so there can be no question of using them instead of medicines.
The scope of their application lies in a different plane: they affect the negative emotions associated with the disease: fear, rage, sadness ... and at the same time do not have side effects and do not give addiction - which improves the patient's condition. It improves so much that in England these funds are prescribed in cancer centers. In Germany, Belgium and Switzerland, they are even paid by insurance companies.
Realizing that the lifestyle and emotional state of a person are the main causes of illness, Dr. Bach dreamed of finding a method of treatment that would be accessible to everyone and that would come from a light, life-giving principle, and not from a disease-causing product, which is typical for homeopathy. “Problems with our vital energy can cause disease. But if we move against the tide, that is, we act when our negative emotions are manifested, then this can have a direct impact on our health and well-being. "

Dr. Bach has categorized elixirs into seven types of emotions:
Fear, increased anxiety
Insecurity, loss of courage
Lack of interest in the present, lack of initiative
Longing for loneliness
Strong susceptibility to influences and ideas, susceptibility to outside influences (hypersensitivity)
Despair, discouragement, hopelessness
Excessive concern for other people's well-being (excessive attention to others).

Flower elixirs do not cure bodily illnesses, but by correcting mental and emotional disorders, they also alleviate the physical condition. This is a suitable remedy for people with increased meteosensitivity, as well as for those suffering from depression, nervousness, headaches and other similar disorders.

SOS ambulance formula

1. Star of Bethlehem or, scientifically, the Umbrella Bird ( Ornitholagum umbellatum): brings comfort to the soul and soothes pain.

How to choose the right elixir?

First, determine your emotional state. This can be fear, discontent, irritation, etc. Now try to identify the sources of this condition. Let's say you are constantly annoyed. Why? Maybe you are the type of people who are always in a hurry, do everything in a hurry, they are endlessly annoyed by the slowness of others.
This state of mind can be described with the words "impatience" or "intolerance". If you refer to the list of medicinal properties of plants given above, you will find that you need a touch-up elixir.

If you are overwhelmed with emotions ... Is it difficult for you to determine what your problem is? Ask your loved ones to share how they perceive you emotionally.

If necessary, you can use 6–7 elixirs at the same time, but try to keep their amount to a minimum. Then each of the elixirs will be able to fully manifest their healing powers. Take the selected elixirs for three weeks, and then analyze what changes have happened to you. Sometimes you have to slightly change the combination of elixirs in order to adapt to a new state of mind.

Dr. Bach was convinced that there were many other plants worthy of the attention of researchers and believed that this activity should be continued. And so it happened. Since the beginning of the 70s of the twentieth century, a huge amount of flower elixirs that are not included in the list already familiar to you have been used for medicinal purposes. These are mainly plant extracts from Australia, Alaska, California and the Himalayas, but some of them are well known to us, for example, apricot, basil, blackberry, cucumber herb, calendula, dandelion, dill, lavender.

How do Bach elixirs work?

As for the mechanism of action of Bach's elixirs, nothing can explain it. The most realistic exoteric hypothesis is the effect of electromagnetic fields. "Perhaps each flower emits waves that resonate with a particular emotion."
There have been several clinical studies of the properties of Bach flowers, in particular their effects on anxiety and smoking cessation problems. The results are promising, however, there is no scientific evidence of their effectiveness (exceeding the placebo effect).

The source of many diseases is not on the physical level, but on the emotional level. This is the conclusion reached by Dr. Edward Bach, an English bacteriologist and scientist who lived at the turn of the 19th and 20th centuries. If you restore mental harmony, a large number of diseases can be avoided.

Bach's flower theory

The scientist was looking for means to help patients improve their mental state. He preferred to carry out treatment using homeopathic medicines. Then the scientist completely turned only to pure natural remedies. He has developed a unique floral technique.

There are plants in nature whose flowers correspond to our negative emotional manifestations. It was their scientist who decided to use them to correct the psychological state. These are flower essences of 38 plants. Source: flickr (Jacobo Zanella).

How the preparations are prepared

Bach used flowers and buds to obtain healing essences. Under the influence of the sun, everything valuable in plants was concentrated in solution. For the manufacture of preparations, only plants, spring water were taken, and sunlight was used.

Flowers are collected according to a certain pattern in purely ecological areas. Harvesting occurs when the concentration of essential components in the flowers is maximum. At dawn in sunny weather, the inflorescences are cut into canvas bags. It is important to exclude contact with the plant. The collected inflorescences are placed in glass vessels, filled with spring water. The solution is infused in the sun for about 3 hours. During this time, according to Bach's theory, under the influence of sunlight, the flowers transfer their energy to the liquid. For long-term storage of the drug, English brandy is added to it.
