His keen observation of the effect personality had on health led to a new paradigm in healing. This new paradigm takes into account the fact that thoughts and emotions impact on health and wellness. Flower remedies empower the individual by enhancing the subtle communication between the soul or higher self with the personality.

Since the passing of Dr. Bach in 1936 many organizations around the world have established themselves as leaders in advancing this healing modality. Dr. Bach’s legacy is now being carried on by Flower Essence Services, Healing Herbs, Alaskan Flower Essence Project, Australian Bush Essences and Delta Gardens to name a few. Using Bach’s original technique as well as developing new methods we now have a global repertory of over 1,000 essences to choose from.
