Bach Flower Remedies

Bach flower remedies constitute a treatment based on plant extracts from wild plants. The extracts are produced on the basis of theories advanced by the English physician Dr. Edward Bach in the 1930s.

According to Bach’s thesis extracts from specific wild plants can affect the human psyche and restore emotional balance.

Bach flower remedies are often used alone, however they can also complement other alternative therapies.

Bach flower remedy practitioners report that Bach flower remedies are often used to treat the following conditions:

• Emotional imbalance
• Stress 
• Shock
• Trauma

Some Bach flower remedy practitioners also treat animals.

According to Bach flower remedy practitioners you will soon experience an effect of Bach flower remedies.

However, Bach flower remedy practitioners emphasize the importance of acknowledging that problems, which have lasted for a long time, do not go away overnight.

The Cochrane Library

The Cochrane Library is an international database, which collects and assesses scientific studies on the effectiveness of a treatment.

At present, the Cochrane Library contains no systematic reviews on the effect of Bach flower remedies.

ViFAB keeps abreast of any news in this field published by the Cochrane Library.

According to Bach flower remedy practitioners there are no adverse affects related to Bach flower remedies. Nor are there any adverse effects in case of overdose.

In the beginning of a sequence of treatments you may experience a brief aggravation of your symptoms. The Bach flower remedy practitioner will see this as part the healing process and not as adverse effects in the usual sense of the word.

The flower remedies, which form part of Bach flower remedies, contain only a very small dose of plant extracts. Thus the risk of interaction is proportionately small.

Still, it cannot be ruled out that problems may arise if you use Bach flower remedies in combination with other medicinal products.

If you have questions about interaction in connection with Bach flower remedies you should contact a Bach flower remedy practitioner or your general practitioner.

Alcohol

You should bear in mind that Bach flower remedies contain alcohol.

Thus the flower remedies are for external use only if you are on antabuse or allergic to alcohol.

When admitted to a Danish hospital you can choose to receive treatment from a Bach flower remedy practitioner from outside.

You will have to pay for the treatment yourself.
