“Treat the person, not the disease – the cause not the effect”
These were Dr Edward Bach's own words and epitomised his approach to his patients, both as a highly esteemed allopathic, scientifically trained practitioner of modern medicine, as well as the renowned complementary therapist whose life's work became the 38 individual flower remedies which he created in the early 1930s.
Dr Bach was significantly ahead of his time by understanding how emotional and mental imbalances lead to physical illness if left untreated.
Equally, the powerful mental and emotional side effects of physical illness should not be underestimated. Overwhelming fatigue, depression, despondency, frustration, impatience, anxiety are just a few examples.
