I'd like info on Bak Flower and the essences you add to it?

What I%26#039;m interested in knowing, is how Bak Flower is used to help with irritability, anxiety, mood lifting, and also about essences you add to it, what kind and what different essences do for you. Do you purchase Bak Flower in large quantities, or what would be a typical dosage?

I%26#039;d like info on Bak Flower and the essences you add to it?
Bach flower remedies come in several different flower essences, each for a particular emotional state. You purchase the essence you need and a 30ml (about 1 ounce)mixing bottle. You add just two drops of each remedy to the bottle then fill with bottled mineral water and take four drops of the mixture four times daily. Most health food stores sell the Bach remedies, or you can buy them on-line. They are shelf-stable until you dilute them for use.





Here is a link to the Bach site, where you%26#039;ll find links to each emotional state and the flower essence they recommend. It is a very thorough site.

Taking a driving test, exam nerves, speaking in public, after an accident or an argument - there are countless uses for Rescue Remedy.





In an emergency Rescue Remedy can be taken neat from the bottle, four drops at a time, and as frequently as required. Otherwise put four drops in a glass of water and take frequent sips until the emotions have calmed.
