Bach® Original Flower Remedies were developed by Dr. Edward Bach, a Harley Street doctor and well known Physician, Bacteriologist, Homeopath and Researcher in the U.K. Despite the success of his work with orthodox medicine, he felt dissatisfied with the way doctors were expected to concentrate on diseases and ignore the people who were suffering from them. He was inspired by his work with homeopathy but wanted to find remedies that would be purer and less reliant on the products of disease. So in 1930, he gave up his lucrative Harley Street practice and left London, determined to devote the rest of his life to a new system of medicine that he was sure could be found in nature.
Dr. Bach believed that attitude of mind plays a vital role in maintaining health and recovering from illness and wanted to find something that treated the cause rather than the symptom. After identifying 38 basic negative states of mind and spending several years exploring the countryside, he managed to create a plant or flower based remedy for each one.
In 1934, he decided to settle down and create a center for his work, and chose Mount Vernon, a small cottage in Sotwell, Oxfordshire, England.
He spent the last years of his life at Mount Vernon, now also known as the Bach Centre, and it was here that he completed his research.
"Our work is to steadfastly adhere to the simplicity and purity of this method of healing" - Dr. Edward Bach
Over seventy years after his death, the guiding principle of 'simplicity and purity in the method' remains paramount for all those who work preparing and distributing the remedies. Known around the world, they are still made to his exact specifications at his home, Mount Vernon, in Oxfordshire, England.
