"Our work is to steadfastly adhere to the simplicity and purity of this method of healing" - Dr Edward Bach

Seventy years after his death, the guiding principle of 'simplicity and purity in the method' remains paramount for all those who work preparing and distributing the remedies. Known around the world, they are still made to his exact specifications at his home, Mount Vernon, in Oxfordshire.

The continuation of Dr Bach's work in this way has been enabled by the friends and colleagues he trained and to whom he entrusted full responsibility to adhere to his exact methods of preparation. As principal of the Bach Centre, it is Judy Ramsell Howard's role to ensure that the preparation of the flower essences never strays from Dr Bach's original methods. She says, "Many of the plants we use come from sites originally identified by Dr Bach himself and we still make the remedies just as they were made in Dr Bach's day. The method has been passed down lovingly through the generations. He taught his assistants who taught my aunt and father, who has in turn taught me, and we continue to make the remedies using all the love, care and attention to detail that has always gone into their preparation here at Mount Vernon."

Wanting to make his flower essences more available to the general public Dr Bach enlisted the help of Nelsons Homeopathic Pharmacy in London back in the 1930s. Under his instruction, they began to make and sell stock remedies from the mother tinctures he supplied. In 1990 this relationship was formalised and since then Nelsons (the Pharmacy's parent company) has been responsible for all the bottling and distribution of the remedies.

The arrangement between The Bach Centre and Nelsons means that the stock remedies can be bottled on a larger scale and meet the necessary regulatory requirements without compromising Dr Bach's instructions in any way.

The Bach Original Flower Remedies are used by individuals and respected medical and complementary health practitioners alike and are sold in over 65 counties worldwide. To make sure that you have a genuine Bach Original Flower Remedy, just look for the Bach signature on the bottle. This guarantees a Bach Original Flower Remedy just like Dr Bach himself used to make.
