Relevance to Homoeopathy

Although Bach flower remedies and homoeopathy are separate systems of treatment, they have important similarities such as the philosophy of individually addressing the patient by considering the emotional and mental aspects in addition to the physical body, and using safe, vibrational remedies for healing. It is common for homoeopaths to come across patients with some form of emotional disturbance that obstructs their recovery, and for such patients, Bach flower essences provide gentle, yet potent supportive care.

Bach flower remedies use flower essences based on emotional states, while homoeopathy addresses all the mental, emotional, and physical symptoms of an individual using a tailored approach selected from the extensive materia medica. Case management in homoeopathy requires comprehensive case documentation and constitutional prescribing, whereas treating with Bach flower remedies involves categorizing a patient primarily based on predominant emotional states.
