History of the Bach flower
The Bach flower was invented by Dr. Edward Bach, an English physician. The doctor was originally a modern doctor before. I'm a surgeon. And also a homeopathic doctor. Doctors saw illness as a physical symptom caused by emotional imbalance. By observing patients who have received treatment. Some people were cured, some were not cured, so I thought it was true. And the patient's mood is very important. Therefore, research was conducted to test the attitude in the human mind. Because the doctor believes emotional stress It is the cause of physical illness. Changing your attitude and way of seeing the world in a positive way It can help heal ailments. Flower water is just one of them that helps (not medicine) but it helps adjust our mood to make it more balanced.
