According to the British physician’s theory, the 38 Bach Flowers are carefully extracted from wildflowers and help to restore balance and harmony to corresponding personality imbalances or emotional distress.

Discouragement and Despair

DISHARMONY: Poor self-image, perfectionism, rejection of one's physical appearance, excessive attention to personal hygiene and household cleanliness, obsession with dirt

POSITIVE MEANING: Acceptance of one's body, serenity.

Edward Bach's definition of this remedy:

“This is the purifying remedy. It is for those who feel as though there is something impure within them. Often it is something seemingly insignificant; 31 in other cases, it may be a more serious ailment, one that is almost overlooked compared to the single thing on which the person focuses their attention. Both types are eager to get rid of that one thing that is of the greatest importance in their minds and that they feel is essential to treat. They become depressed if the treatment fails. Since it is a purifying remedy, this remedy cleanses wounds if the patient has reason to believe that a poison has entered the body that needs to be eliminated.”
