About this guide

Dr. Edward Bach (1886–1936) described 38 flower remedies, each matched to a particular state of mind, such as fear, uncertainty, loneliness or despair. This guide brings his system together in one calm place:

  • The remedy library — all 38 remedies plus Rescue Remedy, with the feelings each one is traditionally used for.
  • The Remedy Finder — gentle prompts that suggest remedies to consider and help you build a blend of up to 7.
  • Breathe — a short guided breathing pause before you take your drops.
  • Your journal — daily mood and reflections, a mood chart, and saved blends.
  • Learn — how to prepare and take the remedies.

It's for anyone curious about the flowers who wants a quiet way to check in with themselves and notice change over time.

Health disclaimer

  • Everything in this guide is general information for self-reflection. It does not diagnose, treat, cure or prevent any illness, physical or mental.
  • Remedy descriptions follow Dr. Bach's traditional writings. They have not been proven by scientific research to treat any condition.
  • Never stop, change or delay treatment your doctor has recommended because of something you read here.
  • Talk with a doctor, pharmacist or qualified practitioner before use if you are pregnant or breastfeeding, giving remedies to a child or an animal, taking medication, or living with a health condition.
  • Stock remedies are traditionally preserved in brandy. If you avoid alcohol for health, faith or recovery reasons, ask about alcohol-free options before you buy.
  • The Remedy Finder offers suggestions to consider, not an assessment. Only you — ideally with a professional's help — can decide what is right for you.
  • During the breathing exercise, if you feel dizzy, light-headed or short of breath, stop and breathe normally.

AI insights

Ask your journal on the Journal page uses an AI model to look for recurring themes in your reflections.

  • Insights are reflective prompts, not advice or a diagnosis. The AI can misread your entries or be wrong — trust your own sense of what fits.
  • Your question and your journal reflections are sent to the AI model only when you press Get insights. Nothing is sent in the background.
  • Your account page lists each insight request with its date, status and size — it doesn't keep a copy of your questions or the answers.

Your journal and account

  • Your reflections and blends are saved to your own account, so they follow you when you sign in on another device. They're private to your account.
  • You can download everything as a PDF or text summary at any time from Journal or Settings.
  • You can delete your account, along with all of its entries, blends and usage history, from your account page.

Shopping links

  • The Buy buttons open the official Bach flower shop at directlyfromnature.com (opens in a new tab) in a new tab. The More about the remedies links go to bachflower.com (opens in a new tab).
  • Orders, payments, prices, shipping and returns are handled entirely by that shop under its own terms. This guide doesn't take orders or see your payment details.
  • Prices and availability can change at any time — always check the shop before you buy.

Remedy names, the seven emotional groups and the descriptions are based on Dr. Bach's original system as set out in his book The Twelve Healers and Other Remedies (final edition, 1936).
