When it comes to sadness, feeling gloomy, grieving, Seasonal Affective Disorder, or even a constant feeling of the glass being half-empty, there is a fascinating therapy available for you to try.
Dr. Edward Bach was a Medical Doctor who lived about a hundred years ago. Some people pronounce his last name like the composer: BACH. Others say it more like BATCH.
Either way, it’s more about what he contributed to health than the perfect pronunciation, I think…
He created the Bach-Flower therapies six years before his death in 1936.
Two websites BachCentre.com and BachFlower.com explain that this was a result of him looking for alternative options to the then existing modern medical modality.
Born in 1886 he became a doctor in 1912. When receiving his diplomas, he stated “It will take me five years to forget ALL I have been taught.”
Five years later he collapsed while working in a hospital with soldiers coming back from the war. Doctors found a tumor in his spleen, which was removed. It was so invasive that he was told he would only live another three months. But he started healing up, become stronger and he lived another 19 years.
Dr. Edward Bach used that new lease on life to rethink his own work in the medical profession. He felt dissatisfied with the way doctors were expected to concentrate on DISEASES while ignoring the WHOLE PERSON.
He decided to study homeopathy. And from there he became inspired to study “flowers,” which he called the “most highly developed part of a plant.”
Dr. Bach discovered 38 specific flowers that all work on healing emotional and spiritual issues.
