BACH FLOWER REMEDIES AS A USEFUL ADJUNCT TO OTHER MEDICINES: OBSERVATIONS FROM PRACTICAL EXPERIENCE

(1) Any of the Flower Remedies can be used to form a combination medicine for a case, which means that ho one remedy antidotes another by coming in contact with it.
These there is no necessity to segregate different Flower Remedies for storage. Even the same dropper used for combining 2 Flower Remedies does no harm to the effectiveness of the combination. This cannot be done in the case of homeopathic medicines.
(2) The homeopathic dilutions can be topped up with spirit again and again without the dilution losing its effective power.
In the case of Bach Flower Remedies, this is not advised. It is not possible to top up the stock bottles again and again with brandy without weakening its effect. They remain effective only in the original formulation.
(3) There is no difference in the dosage for an infant or an adult. The question of overdosing or any reaction therefrom does not arise m case of Flower Remedies.
(4) Bach Flower Remedy like homeopathic medicines (but unlike allopathic drugs) has not to reach the stomach before it ca*1 show its effect. Its effect starts as soon as it touches tne tongue. It is therefore necessary to rinse the mouth clean before dropping the Flower Remedy on it Tobacco chewing mouth, or betel-stained tongue are not suitable f°r administering Flower Remedies.
If the Flower Remedy is administered diluted with water the liquid should not be gulped down the throat. It should be sipped or kept in contact with the tongue before letting it go to the throat.
(5) The Flower Remedy can be given on empty stomach in the morning- or 1 hour before or after meals after thoroughly washing the mouth.
(6) Never take Flower Remedy with any beverage such as tea, coffee or cocoa.
(7) The Flower Remedy given in the form of globules or in liquid form (diluted in water) or drops from the medicinal bottle are equally effective.
(8) If during the course of treatment by Bach Flower Remedies, there is improvement in the moods of the patient, but some sort of skin eruption with discharge starts suddenly, it should not be presumed that Flower Remedies have caused this new disease. It should be understood that the treatment has set in motion a cleansing process on the physical side after benefiting the mental side, and if the treatment is continued the physical signs of cleansing would soon pass and the patient fully cured. Very often it is found during the course of treatment by Flower Remedies that old symptoms do come back and go themselves under the same treatment.
