1.Bach flower remedies are an alternative or complementary treatment that is used for emotional problems and pain. They’re made out of watered-down extracts from the flowers of wild plants.

2.Edward Bach, a medical doctor and homeopath, created these remedies in the early 1900s. 

3.Homeopathy is the belief that the body can cure itself. It uses small amounts of natural substances like plants and minerals to treat the body or mind. 

4.The idea behind Bach flower remedies is similar to homeopathy. But they use fewer materials and don't work directly on physical symptoms, but instead on the emotions.

Fear

Uncertainty

Lack of interest in present circumstances

Loneliness

Oversensitivity to influences and ideas

Sadness or despair

Cares for others at the expense of self.
