The Bach Flower Essences® can be taken either in a 30ml/1once
treatment bottle filled with spring water. From the treatment bottle take 4 drops 4 times a day until relief is obtained, or two drops in a glass
of water and sip at intervals. If no water is available the Essences can be taken
undiluted either in the mouth, on the skin behind the ears or on the inside of the wrist.
To prepare a treatment bottle, fill the bottle with fresh
spring water and add 2 drops of each Essence. You can combine up to 6 or
7 Essences in a treatment bottle. As preservative (optional) you can use
brandy, apple cider vinegar or vegetable glycerin, 1 tsp. in the treatment bottle.
Dr. Bach created an emergency combination of Essences which he called Rescue Remedy®. It contains five different Essences: Star of Bethlehem, Clematis, Impatiens,
Cherry Plum and Rock Rose. Rescue Remedy® is worth carrying with you in case of
emergencies or everyday stress. Rescue Remedy® helps you go through
difficult situations, stressful events, an
exam or job interview in a calm and relaxed matter.
Rescue Remedy® Cream©, contains the same five Essences as Rescue Remedy® with added Crab Apple. The cream is for external applications such as bruises,
diaper rash, sprains, burns, stings, scratches and other skin conditions.
On occasions when you are stressed and your mind is over-active, take a dose or two of Rescue Remedy® in the evening before going to sleep. (see also White
Chestnut)

It is impossible to overdose with the Bach Flower Essences®, they are
100% natural and
safe. You can drink a whole bottle of Essences and not "overdose.". However, if
you think that "more is better" you are wrong. The Bach Flower Essences®
work
best over a period of time, taken from the treatment or stock bottle at
least 4 times a
day.

Nothing is going to happen if you take the wrong Essence, the Essences only work
on the energy level that we are having problems with. For example, if you have a "known fear" (MIMULUS) and take ASPEN "unknown fear", nothing is going
to happen. Your "known fear" will stay and ASPEN wouldn't do anything to you.
When you take the wrong Essence nothing happens.

Essential Oil:
As the name says it is oils from different plants and flowers. The smell very strongly, some of them should be avoided for people with different illnesses, pregnancy, in the sun etc. The Essential Oils comes from the whole world, however, the quality can easily be very different because some farmers cheat and mix in cheap oils.
Bach Flower Essences® ©: : They do not smell, they can never do any harm to anyone at any time, they are made by infusion of wild plants & flowers from a certain area in England.
The Bach Flower Essences® are considered
homeopathic. The Bach Flower Essences® are produced at one location after old directions from Dr. Edward Bach who died in 1936. Dr. Bach
was VERY specific with the directions on how & when to make the Essences. He told just before he died that many people will try to
imitate and copy the Essences and his assistances had to promise NEVER to alter the 38 Essences, because he knew that there would be no more need for more than the 38 and the directions that he had given were the best possible.
