Welcome to the fascinating world of Bach Flowers, these natural floral remedies that have the power to help us regain our emotional balance. As the number 1 esoteric boutique on the French market, Astellow is proud to present this complete guide to the 38 Bach Flowers and their virtues.

What are Bach Flowers?

Bach Flower Remedies are a system of natural healing developed in the 1930s by Dr. Edward Bach, a British physician and homeopath. Inspired by nature, this system is based on the use of 38 wild flowers and plants, each with specific properties to treat emotional imbalances.

Unlike traditional medicines that act on symptoms, Bach Flowers aim to rebalance emotions at the source. They thus allow you to find a state of inner harmony and better manage the challenges of daily life.

The 7 emotional groups of Bach Flowers

The 38 Bach Flowers are divided into 7 distinct emotional groups:

1. Fear

2. Uncertainty

3. Lack of interest in the present

4. Solitude

5. Hypersensitivity to the influences and ideas of others

6. Discouragement or despair

7. Overwork

Each flower corresponds to a specific emotional state and acts gently to restore balance.

How to use Bach Flowers?

Using Bach Flowers is simple and accessible to everyone. Here are the main steps:

1. Identify your emotional needs : Start by observing your emotions and identifying those that need rebalancing. Refer to the 7 emotional groups to guide you.
