Dr. Edward Bach

Dr.Deepak

27th, 1936. He was only 50 years old, he left behind him several lifetimes' experience and effort, and a system of medicine that is now used all over the world.

Dr Bach passed away peacefully on the evening of November Dr Edward Bach studied medicine at the University College

Hospital, London, and was a House Surgeon there. He worked in general practice, having a set of consulting rooms in Harley Street, and as a bacteriologist and later a pathologist he worked on vaccines and a set of homoeopathic nosodes still known as the seven Bach nosodes.

He wrote 22 books which remain as best sellers in the area of

Flower remedies
12/26/2011 Dr.Deepak

Edward Bach: (1886-1936)..

During his medical training he noticed that Mental and Emotional Conditions

 

Influenced the Course of Recovery Effected the Efficiency of Administered Medicines.

12/26/2011 Dr.Deepak

He concluded . . .

That the mind and emotions played an important role in process of disease and cure
12/26/2011 Dr.Deepak

After completion of his medical training and branching in to Bacteriology.

He identified 7 major types of personalities. He now began to study closely the mental and physical differences of these 7 types which he had identified. . .

Dr.Deepak

12/26/2011

Each type of personality had its own distinct specific intestinal flora,
indicating that

intestinal flora not only mirror physical health but also have an affinity with the type of personality and its major mental / emotional tendencies.

The new theory was accepted readily in the early 20s and pointed that

Intestinal toxemia, that is caused by non-lactose fermenting organisms are the leading cause of chronic diseases.
12/26/2011 Dr.Deepak

11

Accordingly Bach Bowels Nosodes (based on personality traits) were administered to cleanse the system from within and help body ward off symptoms of chronic diseases.
Intestinal Toxemia Chronic disease

While studying the responses he was increasingly convinced that true origin of disease lay in Mental and Emotional imbalance with the intestinal toxemia arising there from.
Intestinal Toxemia

Mental imbalance

Ch. Disease 12

He felt his current theory neglected this important aspect. Instead of concentrating on the mind as a causative factor, the Nosodes were recognized and used toward cure of physical diseases alone. That all chronic diseases start in the mind and emotions, unless obvious external factors were responsible

He Finally Formulated the theory

could be prevented if Remedies akin to the Nosodes were found that were prescribed on mental / emotional characteristics thereby preventing physical symptoms.

He abandoned his use of Nosodes completely and concentrated his efforts in identifying the foremost mental/ emotional imbalances found in man while collecting and researching possible corresponding healing plants. He was able to identify 12 outstanding states of mind or 12 personality types basic to humanity. He integrated the earlier 7 types of personalities that he had identified initially in to his new perspective.

Helpers


Over years he identified 7 more additional states, which complimented the basic 12. He named them Helpers or those that are complementary to the core 12 states.

12/26/2011

Dr.Deepak

19

Whereas the 12 Healers address major parts or personality traits Helpers deal with long standing states of mental and emotional suffering that have become entrenched in the character as a whole and have begun to over shadow the true personality. Helpers not only help mental states but also temporary upsets.

For Those Who have Fear



Rock Rose : Rock Rose heals acute states of extreme fear and terror and their after effects. During an acute state, there may be feeling of great danger, sometimes with the urge to run, and the mind is racing also. There may be fear of death. In chronic cases, Rock Rose treats sensitive nervous systems and states of chronic anxiety. Goal: courage self transcendence, true heroism Mimulus : The mind goes forward anticipating fearful events and shrinking away from them with a sense of dread. Mimulus treats concrete fears of known objects, situations, or people. Goal: facing feared events with courage and trust. Cherry Plum : In the negative cherry plum state, the mind is struggling to hold down threatening impulses from the unconscious, because he/she knows them to be wrong and does not want to engage in them. There is anticipatory fear that the impulse will win and control will give way. Goal : Learning to understand the true meaning of the impulses arising from the unconscious, and learning to integrate them into the conscious mind in a healthy, non- threatening way.
Dr.Deepak

There is free floating anxiety and a feeling of being vulnerable to outside forces that are sinister and out of ones control. Vague spooky feelings and superstitions are easily stimulated. Goal : faith that one is safe and guarded.
Red Chestnut: The

Aspen :The

mind goes out to a loved one with fear that something bad or dangerous might befall him/her. Typically the loved one is removed and out of the immediate watch care of the one in fear, and there is the feeling that one is out of control of the situation and cannot guard the other. With this state, there may be great nervousness and agitation. Goal: Releasing the other to his destiny with faith.

12/26/2011

Dr.Deepak

26

Scleranthus : Uncertainty results from having to choose between two options,

usually of some magnitude, and not being able to make up ones mind. There is dread of making the wrong decision, of having to let go of one option which might have been the better one in hindsight. Typically there is flooding of the mind with details and arguments, and one loses perspective. Goal : Lifting the mind to a higher vantage point so that a new perspective and overview can be gained .Reliance on inner wisdom.

For Those Who Suffer Uncertainty



anything can be done to be saved or to save oneself from the undesired condition, one is in. Goal : New hope.


Gorse : In the negative gorse state, there is loss of certainty and hope that

Hornbeam : Uncertainty lies in the inability to focus the mind with clarity and

power of concentration to the tasks at hand. The mind , and to some extent also the body, seems tired, prone to procrastination and bent on avoiding prolonged effort. Goal : Mental clarity and joy of attending to ones tasks.

There may be a passing interest in various activities which are abandoned, since certainty of endeavor and true satisfaction are missing daily chores may be accomplished with a sense of boredom or with aversion . Goal : Rekindling of joy and incentive while engaging in current activities deemed necessary or worthwhile. Inner certainty in ones quest for actualization of ones potentials.
12/26/2011 Dr.Deepak

feels powerless to rise above. As a consequence one loses interest in the present and experiences apathy and lack of involvement. Goal : To feel empowered again in regard to changing ones lot

12/26/2011

Dr.Deepak

29

Not sufficient interest in present circumstances



Olive : Mind and body are too exhausted to attend with full capacity to the tasks at hand. There is great fatigue with the urge to remove from involvement in present circumstances and give in to the need to rest. Goal : To strengthen and revitalize mind / emotions and body.

Dr.Deepak

12/26/2011

30

Loneliness


Water violet : Loneliness of mind and heart that arises from

removing self from people and putting oneself above them, instead of tuning in to inner natures and bonding with them. Goal : spontaneous affection, easy opening up toward others, we are all created equal . Impatiens : Inner loneliness exists because one is quick in thought and action and urges others on to follow, without taking their inner needs, their personal pace and individual natures into account. Goal : To allow others to unfold according to their individual pace; patience based on inner kindness. Heather : Inner loneliness comes from not connecting fully with others and their personal needs. Instead, one is overly concerned with ones own affairs and needs, and one gives in to the strong urges to talk about them. Goal : To become a good listener and tune in to others problems, which leads to de emphasis of ones own concerns.
Dr.Deepak

12/26/2011

31

Oversensitive to influences and ideas



Agrimony : The mind is overly sensitive to discord and disharmony in the environment, especially since there is already internal restlessness and worry, plus the effort to find peace within ones own mind . Goal : To strengthen inner peace so that outside discord is not too disturbing Centaury : Over sensitivity comes from being too open and receptive to the expectations and demands of others, enhanced by ones desire to love and serve. Goal :To keep ones own needs in mind, while upholding ones good intentions and joy of service. Walnut : The mind is overly sensitive to all impressions and influences from the outside, especially during transitional stages of life when the person leaves behind a definite structure of living and is open to new impressions.

Holly : The mind / emotions and body are overly sensitive to upsetting circumstances within the environment, or to personally perceived circumstances of threat, that create vexations, irritation, and the need to fight back. Emotions of a strong and vehement nature are easily stirred up and may turn the person away from kindheartedness, if only temporarily. Goal : To stay focused on love and kindness ; forbearance
Dr.Deepak

12/26/2011

32

For Despondency or Despair



Larch : shaken self confidence, possibly leading to despondency and despair, arises from lack of those joyful and devoted experiences with people and tasks that would improve self-esteem and knowledge of ones capacities. Preoccupation and worry about self may further prevent healthful engagement and stabilized self esteem. Goal : creating balanced and sturdy self-confidence by reducing focus on oneself and devoting to people and tasks. Pine :Despondency and despair center around guilt feelings that one feels unable to rise above. Self blame and regret may be high. Goal : Resolve to not repeat the same fault and forgive oneself. Self forgive others with similar faults. Elm : The mind feels overwhelmed by tasks or happenings, and a state of despondency or despair may come on, since one does not feel empowered or in charge enough to get a handle on things. Goal : To give inner calm so that tasks can be mastered one at a time. Sweet chestnut : Despondency and despair arise from not seeing meaning in life and giving ones thoughts to faithlessness and nihilism. Goal : To have faith and trust in a meaningful universe and be open to guidance by ones inner truth and love. Star of Bethlehem : sadness , grief, or the bad effects from trauma cause despondency or despair. Goal : To soothe and comfort the heart and release trauma.

Few Cases
Ten-year-old boy This is a case I like to mention when giving talks on the remedies, since it illustrates the physical effects of being out of balance so clearly. It is the case of a ten year old boy who could not get out of his home without having a bad bout of diarrhoea. It was found that this condition had started a little after his father had an almost fatal car accident, and had to spend a couple of months in hospital. I gave him Star of Bethlehem for the shock, and Aspen for his general state of apprehension and dread. Chicory was his type remedy, shown by the fact that he wanted his father all to himself, and was always seeking attention and bossing his brother around. I also gave him Larch to help him regain his confidence. Within a very short time he started to feel better and was soon living a normal life again

New mother I was introducing the remedies to a mother-to-be who was becoming very temperamental high irritable and had a sharp tongue which her family feared during the last stage of her pregnancy. She lived in a remote area and, at her request, I went to meet her. This was Ps first baby. It seemed that she was very irritable with everyone around her and found herself shouting and becoming difficult to be with. Nobody could do anything to satisfy her and she was in a hurry for the baby to arrive so that she could get on with her life. I felt that Impatiens was the only remedy needed. It happened that two days later the weather forecast was pretty grim and it seemed that heavy rains were on its way. The hospital decided that P should admit in at once, otherwise it might be difficult for travel to hospital when her labour started. Once she was in the hospital the staff there decided to induce the birth. But each time the day came for the procedure to start another pregnant lady arrived at the cottage, in full labour, who obviously had to be seen to first. Day after day went by and in the end it was a full ten days before the staff could get around to inducing her baby. How did this impatient, irritable mother cope with the delay? Her family, the nursing staff, and P herself, were absolutely amazed at her patience and good humour. She laughed each time another mum was brought in, and she was pushed once more to the back of the queue. They praised her, and she became a talking point amongst the staff. She told them her secret - IMPATIENS!

Common Question and Answers



How does one use a remedy? Drink it? Sniff it? Apply it to the skin? The remedies come as a liquid, preserved in brandy. To take them, you dilute two drops of each remedy that you need into a 30ml dropper bottle, top up with mineral water, and take four drops four times a day. Alternatively you can put the two drops into a glass of water, and sip from that at intervals I know that is correct to put maximum five remedies in the same bottle. But I want to know what is the right thing to do if someone needs more than five remedies? Is it right to put the extra remedies in another bottle and take them alternatively? What do you suggest? In fact it's quite usual to give six or seven remedies together at the same time, and this is the maximum we suggest people work with. Dr Bach is known to have given nine remedies together on two occasions, but remember he was seeing thousands of people over a period of many years. What is the likelihood of reactions and rashes, eg to Star of Bethlehem, Crab Apple, and how are they caused? The Bach Flower Remedies work by flooding out negative feelings and emotions. Sometimes the emotions that are dealt with have been repressed for some time and in order to clear them they have to be cleansed from the system. On very rare occasions this can take the form of a rash, or unexpected feelings may be stirred up. Where such things do occur they can be disregarded and there is no reason to stop taking the remedies.

Common Question and Answers



Can you take Bach Flower Remedies in tea, coffee and so on? You can put the remedies in tea, coffee, fizzy drinks etc., and in this respect they are not like homoeopathic remedies. I would like to know if I can place the remedy drops into hot drinks without destroying their healing properties. Yes, you can put the drops into hot drinks - water, tea, coffee etc. This will not affect the potency of the remedies, and because the heat will evaporate the alcohol in the remedies it is a method we sometimes recommend to people who for one reason or another dislike the alcohol content Are there any combinations of remedies that should never be used? No. Even the remedies that might appear to be direct opposites (Vervain and Wild Rose, for example, or Vine and Centaury) may occasionally be needed at once by the same person. It all depends on the personality and current emotional states of the person being treated I get so confused how many drops to take out of different sizes of bottle. Help!

You always take two drops out of a single remedy stock bottle, whether you are putting it in your mouth or in a glass or in a treatment bottle. You always take four drops out of Rescue Remedy, again whether you are putting it in your mouth or in a glass or in a treatment bottle. And you always take four drops out of a mixed treatment bottle. Simple!
