Answer
Dear friend,

The Bach Flowers, as well as other natural medicines, act in terating the person and not the disease or it's synthoms.

The flower essences act specifically in the negative emotional conditions of the affected person, aiming to transform them in the opposite positive attitudes (for example fear in corage), stimulating the body's own capacity to heal itself and releasing the physic system to engage completely in the fight against sickness and stress.Two persons with the same physical complaint but defferent emotional states will benefit from different Bach Flowers.

So the theray works in the indeep spirtiual and emotional bodies and in consequence, after, in the physical body.

The flower essences come from from wild shrubs and trees discovered by Dr. Edward Bach with healing properties.

Best regards,
