Simple guides to working with the flowers.
Remedies are sold as concentrated stock bottles. To make a treatment bottle, fill a 30 ml dropper bottle with still water (optionally a little brandy or glycerin to preserve), and add 2 drops of each chosen stock remedy — up to 7 remedies. Rescue Remedy takes 4 drops.
From a treatment bottle: 4 drops, at least 4 times a day, on the tongue or in a glass of water. Directly from stock: 2 drops in a glass of water, sipped through the day. In acute moments, take more often.
Take remedies until you feel the shift — often 2–3 weeks for a treatment bottle. Review your feelings regularly and change the mix as your emotions change.
Dr. Edward Bach (1886–1936) believed that emotional balance supports wellbeing. His 38 remedies each address a specific state of mind, gently encouraging its positive counterpart rather than suppressing feelings. Treat the person and the mood, not the symptom.
