The
production of Bach flower essences
Production of Bach Flower Remedies is carried out via two methods:
1. With the sun method, the flowers are picked on a warm summer
day in full sunshine. They are placed in a glass bowl with fresh
spring water, if possible taken from a spring close to where the
flower was picked. It is sufficient that the flowers only cover
the surface of the water. The bowl is then placed in the sun for
two to four hours. According to Dr. Edward Bach, the sun transfers
the energy of the flowers into the medium of the water, which becomes
"energetically impregnated". After impregnation, the flowers
are removed from the solution, and brandy is added for preservation.
The derived solution is stored in a stock bottle. During treatment,
the remedy is usually diluted with water.
2. Since not all flowers, shrubs, bushes, and trees bloom at a time
of year when there is abundant sunshine, a second method for the
preparation of remedies is necessitated, the cooking method. In
this method, the flowers and buds are picked the same as in the
sun method, then boiled down. The extract is then filtered several
times and mixed again with an equal portion of brandy as a preservative.
The process is then continued in the same way as the remedies produced
with the sun method.
