Selecting remedies

Dr Bach wanted his system to be easy to use. Anyone can select and take remedies without

professional advice. You don't need special techniques or mystical abilities. Here's what to do.

Physical problems

Suppose you are suffering from asthma. There is no Bach remedy for asthma, since this is a

physical complaint. So the first step is to forget about the physical problem. Instead of

concentrating on the asthma, think about how you feel emotionally, and about the sort of personyou are.

Similarly, when it comes to selecting Bach remedies you should ignore any physical symptoms.They are not relevant to which Bach remedies you need.

The remedies work on a emotional level. If you need help with a physical problem you should

consult a qualified medical advisor in addition to taking Bach remedies.

Your current feelings

Start by thinking about the way you feel at the moment. Perhaps your son is about to start schooland quite without cause you are frightened that he will be bullied? -Red Chestnutis the remedy

for the fear that something bad will happen to loved ones. Perhaps you have been working too

hard and are exhausted? - this would indicate the need forOlive.

Consultthe list of remedies- there are only 38 - and see which ones best match your current

feelings.

If you do have a physical problem, consider how it makes you feel emotionally. Do you feel

frustrated, annoyed, resentful, discouraged, resigned about the condition? Are you alwaysthinking it about it? Does it make you feel anxious?

As before, look throughthe list of remediesand find those that best match how you feel.

2/31

Your personality

You could also think about your basic personality - the sort of person you are underneath

everything else.

Perhaps you are someone who tends to be quiet, shy and timid, and doesn't like meeting new new

people? - This might indicate that you are aMimulustype.

On the other hand, maybe you recognise yourself as aVervainperson, full of enthusiasm and

energy, and committed to justice for others? Or you might be something of a loner, liking quiet

pursuits and your own company, reserved and upright? - That would be aWater Violetpersonality.

Don't worry if you can't find apersonality remedyright away, though. The important thing is toselect remedies for your current emotions.

Narrowing the choice

You can select up to six or seven different remedies in this way. Don't worry if you make awrong selection, because if a remedy is not needed it won't do anything - it certainly won't make

things worse.

Experience has shown, however, that too many remedies taken at one time tends to lessen the

effect. This means that there is no point mixing all 38 to zap everything at once!

If you find you have more than seven or eight remedies in your mix, you are probably including

some that are not needed. Leave out any that relate to feelings that are in the past, and any that

aren't really needed because another remedy is more accurate.

For example, if you have several fear remedies in your mix - such asMimulus,Aspen,Rock

Rose- it may be better to concentrate on the remedy that most accurately represents the qualityof your anxiety.
