| Who was Dr Edward Bach? |
| Dr Edward Bach was a respected Harley Street physician, bacteriologist, immunologist and homeopath (he discovered 7 bacterial nosodes still in use today). |
| He believed that attitude of mind plays a vital role in maintaining health and recovering from illness. In other words, he believes in a healthy mind in a healthy body. |
| He left his Harley Street practice in 1930 and went to the countryside in order to find a more natural way to heal diseases. |
| He identified 38 basic negative states of mind and created a remedy for each one, using flowers, plants and trees. The negative states of mind are similar in human beings and in animals. |

| What are the Bach Flowers Remedies? |
| They are a complementary medicine, which means that they work together with any medical treatment your pet is undergoing. The remedies will not interfere with treatment your pet may be receiving, but will work in harmony with the treatment towards alleviating pain, stress and other problems. |
| The remedies are comprised of flowers, plants and trees and do not contain any chemicals. They are totally natural and made today according to Dr Bach’s methods. |
| The remedies contain Brandy which acts to preserve the essence and vitality of the plants and flowers used. |
| |
| |
| How do they work? |
| Today it is a well known fact that the link between emotions and the immune system can produce good or ill health. A negative state of mind will help weaken the immune system and will lead to all sorts of problems ranging from benign to more serious. |
Each of the 38 remedies aids a specific emotion.
A remedy or a blend of remedies (a unique formula created for your pet only) will help your animal to rebalance their negative emotions to positive ones. |
| The remedies work by acting not on symptoms but on the cause of illness, behavioural problems etc. |
| They will work to complement to any treatment your animal might be receiving. |
| |
| |
| How safe are the Bach Flowers Remedies? |
They are 100% safe and do not produce side-effects.
If the wrong remedies are selected, nothing will happen and you will not notice any improvement in your pet. |
| Because they are gentle and work on a vibrational level, they can be taken for prolonged periods of time without any problems. |
