BACH FLOWER REMEDIES: PHILOSOPHY ACCORDING DR. BACH’S
According to Dr. Bach’s philosophy it becomes clear that:
1. The basic cause of all troubles is the obstruction which a man allows to be placed in his chosen way of life or puts in the chosen life of some other person.
2. Whenever a person ignores the guidance provided by his inner voice and acts against his conscience, his mental peace is disturbed.
3. Physical ailment as such has no meaning; it is an expression of the mental disturbance. As soon as his mental state improves, the physical troubles disappear.
Thus while treating a patient no consideration of his physical troubles is taken into account—whether it is headache or diarrhoea, nausea or vomitting, stomachache or sneezing—no physical symptom has any relevance in the formation of prescription.
How these physical troubles have affected the mind and changed his mood is of importance. Whether it is fear or hopelessness, anger or irritability, hate or envy, doubt or conviction, the prescription is based on the mental symptoms alone, and as the remedy succeeds in rectifying the mood of the patient, the physical symptoms automatically disappear.
