What are Bach Flower remedies?

The aim is to change the negative to a positive, after a conversation with my client we discuss the appropriate remedies, a maximum of 7 – these are blended into a small brown bottle and filtered water is added.  These are then put in the post and you simply take 16 drops every day until the bottle is finished.

However sometimes clients often if it is possible to self-prescribe as far as remedies are concerned – this is possible if that is what you would like to do then you will find the list of the remedies below and what we use them for.
