Bach Flower Remedies

In 1930 Dr. Edward Bach believed that disease was caused by disharmony in one's state of mind. It seems that there really does exist a strong connection between what the mind thinks and how the body responds. Dr. Bach developed an entire homeopathic healing system, directed at the emotional outlook of a person, using flower essences as his remedies. A simple questionaire allows a person to determine which remedy to take in order to restore peace of mind and thus allow the body to heal.
