The Life of Dr Bach
Dr Edward Bach was born in 1886 in Birmingham, England.
He was naturally sensitive to nature and identified himself with the suffering of fellow humanity.
This resulted in him studying medicine.
His training in medicine was done at the University College Hospital in London.
Here he worked as surgeon.
He was involved in general practice in medicine.
He had consulting rooms in Harley Street.
In addition, he conducted research as a pathologist and as a bacteriologist.
He succeeded to produce homeopathic remedy called Bach bowel nosodes.
This are still in use today and are taught in homeopathy.
In 1919 Dr.
Edward Bach joined the London homeopathic Hospital.
His interest in homeopathy was triggered by a belief in a holistic approach to treating a person.
He would treat his patients as whole beings.
The diseases they had, he regarded them as disequilibrium of the whole.
In 1928 while still working as a doctor, Dr Edward Bach took his time to study herbs and plants.
The first three flower remedies were developed during this period.
They include mimulas, climatiens and impatiens.
Because of his familiarity with the curative characteristics of various substances, he was able to propose the type of personality they would work on best.
He realized that emotional characteristics of patients were important in the prescription of remedies.
The emotional characteristics fascinated him because prescriptions yielded remarkable results and the patients improved in health.
This led Dr Edward Bach to concentrate on flower remedies as opposed to conventional medicine treatment.
He resigned from his medical practice to develop the new line of therapy.
Dr Edward had to leave London to go to Wales and the London countryside in search of plants and herbs that would be the basis of the treatment he would administer to his patients to cure them from any dysfunction.
He had discovered twelve remedies by 1932.
In February 1933, he published 'twelve great remedies' the promotion of his publication to the medical community did not bear much fruit because they trained in orthodoxy.
Later he used newspaper advertising that elicited good response from the public.
However, the general medical council criticized him.
In 1934, he had 10 of the total 38 remedies developed.
During this year, he moved to Yorkshire at a place called Mount Vernon and it is in this place that the remaining 19 remedies were developed.
In addition during this year, he published the second edition of his medical work, which he called 'twelve healers and seven helpers' In 1936 Dr Bach wrote his third publication 'the twelve healers and other helpers' he wrote this publication after finding all the herbs and plants that would complete the series on the remedies.
He would first suffer an emotional state that required him to heal.
He would then try various plants and flowers to find out which one best fit the emotional state.
