The volume

The book sets out Edward Bach’s system of flower remedies and the emotional states to which he associated them. The record refers to the 1936 edition, the last prepared for publication during Bach’s lifetime. Later editions include textual changes, so the date is important when identifying and comparing the work.

Themes and reading path

The reading path considers the relationship between emotion, spirituality and ideas about illness within Bach’s own system. His statements about remedies are part of the historical text and express his therapeutic beliefs; the record does not present them as evidence of clinical effectiveness.

Authors and research

Edward Bach (1886–1936) was a British physician and writer who developed the flower-remedy system associated with his name. Studying this short work alongside its different editions helps clarify how his ideas were organised and subsequently transmitted.
