What are Bach Flower Essences?

In the 1930's Edward Bach, a British bacteriologist and homeopath, developed a line of plant essences that he claimed would remedy negative emotional states, along with a system of matching a specific essence to a specific problem. Perhaps the most famous among these is a formulation called Rescue Remedy.

Flower essences do not contain any of the actual molecular structure of the original plant but rather embody the very "essence" of the healing qualities of the plant.
