Bach Flower Remedy GuideThis method of healing was divinely revealed to Edward Bach. His understanding was that emotional disturbance and upset were doors that open us up to the invasion of illness. The remedies aim at treating the emotional upset, not the actual illness itself. Edward Bach believed that this avenue of healing was given through the Grace of the Creator for our wellbeing and happiness. "As the Herbs heal our fears, our anxieties, our worries, our faults and our failings, it is these we must seek, and then the disease, no matter what it is, will leave us." Quote from "The 12 Healers" by Edward Bach
