Ditch Anxiety with Bach Flower Remedies

What are Bach flower essences?

Bach flower essences are a set of 38 remedies, each derived from wildflowers, plants or trees. They were developed in the 1930s by a British physician called Dr Edward Bach. His philosophy was simple: emotional balance is the key to overall well-being.

Rather than focusing on physical symptoms, Bach flowers target the emotional and mental states that underlie them. Whether you’re grappling with fear, uncertainty or low self-esteem, there’s a remedy tailored to help you regain your composure.

Bach flower remedies are safe for all ages, including babies and the elderly, with no known interactions with medications, supplements or herbal medicines. You can even give them to your pets. Unlike conventional treatments that merely alleviate symptoms, Bach flowers address the underlying emotional triggers, promoting holistic healing.

How Bach flowers work for anxiety

Anxiety is not a one-size-fits-all issue; it manifests differently for everyone. For instance, social anxiety may arise in situations where the fear of judgement feels insurmountable. In such cases, remedies like Mimulus can alleviate fear of known triggers, while Larch may help boost confidence.

Conversely, those battling generalised anxiety – characterised by persistent worries – might find relief with White Chestnut, which calms a racing mind. For sudden, intense fears, Rock Rose is often recommended to help manage acute panic and terror.

Here’s what some of our Bach flower course students say:

“I tried everything from meditation to therapy, but nothing seemed to work. Then a friend suggested Bach Flower remedies. I was sceptical at first, but after starting with Mimulus, I noticed a significant difference within weeks. While I was still nervous, the crippling fear faded. For the first time in years, I could attend events without feeling the urge to flee. Bach flowers have truly changed my life.”  Emily, S                          

“Before discovering Bach flower remedies, I struggled with persistent anxiety that impacted my daily life. I often felt overwhelmed, and even simple tasks became daunting. After trying various methods with little success, I decided to give Bach flowers a chance. To my surprise, I found that the remedies helped me feel more grounded and calmer. Inspired by my positive experience, I wanted to dive deeper into Bach flowers so I enrolled in CNM’s Bach Flower course to learn more about these incredible tools for emotional well-being.”  Elisa, G

Bach flower remedies offer a gentle, natural approach to managing anxiety, but selecting the right remedy for your unique needs is essential. Each individual’s emotional state is individual, and what works for one person may not be effective for another.
