Where the seven groups come from

Edward Bach (1886-1936) was a British physician and bacteriologist who left conventional practice in the 1930s to develop a system of flower remedies. His idea was that a person's state of mind matters more than the name of an illness, so he described 38 states of mind, matched each with one remedy, and sorted them into seven broad groups. The seven sections on this chart follow that classification.

Bach flower remedies are very dilute infusions of flowers (or, in one case, spring water), traditionally preserved in brandy. They are sold as complementary products, not as medicines. Reviews of clinical trials have not found effects beyond placebo, so treat this chart as a way to reflect on how you feel, and leave medical and mental-health care to a qualified professional.

How to use this Bach flower chart

Settle down and write one line about what is on your mind, for example “I keep putting off this decision.”
Hold the pendulum over the centre of the chart and ask: “Which group describes the main theme here?”
Note the section the pendulum swings towards, then ask again to confirm.
To narrow it down, open the matching group in the Studio (links below) and dowse the individual remedy names.
Compare the result with how you actually feel. If it does not fit, trust your own experience over the pendulum.

Frequently asked questions

How many Bach flower remedies are there?

There are 38 single remedies, one for each state of mind Bach described, plus Rescue Remedy, a combination of five of them: Rock Rose, Impatiens, Clematis, Star of Bethlehem and Cherry Plum.

Can a pendulum choose a remedy for me?

A pendulum cannot diagnose anything. Many practitioners use it as a prompt to think about which emotional theme fits, then read the remedy descriptions to confirm. The choice is always yours.

Are Bach flower remedies safe to take?

They contain very little plant material, but they are usually preserved in alcohol, and alcohol-free versions exist. Check the label if you avoid alcohol, are pregnant or have a health condition, and ask a pharmacist or doctor if you are unsure.
