About Bach Flower Remedy

Dr. EDWARD BACH born in mosely Warwichshire concluded that sickness and diseases were not primarily due to physical causes, but to some deeper harmony within the sufferer himself.

He observed that body loses its natural resistance to diseases and becomes easy prey to any infection or from of illness due to distress in the mind such as fear, worry, anxiety, and importance which depleted the vitality of an individual.

Between 1930 and 1936 He devoted his whole time to the search for harmless remedies amongst the wildflowers of the countryside. He discovered 38 flower Remedies containing healing properties with the help of which the sufferer could again strength to overcome his anxieties, his fears, and depression and so assist in his own heating in a natural way.

Gentian Bach Flower Remedy: Descriptive Materia Medica

They are people who are easily discouraged when things go wrong or difficulties confront them. They falter and become despondent at setbacks, either during an illness or convalescence or in the affairs of daily life. They refuse to believe that their own lack of faith and understanding keeps them from overcoming the difficulties they expect and feel to be insurmountable; that, indeed, they attract such conditions by their negative outlook.

The depression of Gentian is of known cause, unlike that of Mustard, which is a gloomy state descending upon the individual for no known cause and for which he can give no explanation. This remedy is a valuable one in illnesses when a setback may depress and discourage the patient, and for children who get discouraged also because of their lack of success in schoolwork or examinations.

The positive side of this nature is a fine one. It is the understanding that there is no failure when one is doing his utmost, whatever the apparent result is, and that there is no obstacle too great or task too big, to be undertaken with confidence.
