In reality, Bach Flower Therapy is based on an ancient tradition of using plants to heal people, in a much more holistic way, considering both the patient and the flower itself. Its origins lie in the alchemical tradition, which believes that every living being has an energetic, a chemical, and a spiritual aspect.
Bach created what we now know as flower therapy, but his creation was inspired by the ancient knowledge of Egyptian priests, which was later transferred to Greece, then to Alexandria, and from there to Al-Andalus, later finding refuge in monasteries such as El Escorial, to hide from the Inquisition itself.
It is the eternal conflict or eternal struggle between official medicine, established by the authorities in power at any given moment in history, and a form of medicine that has developed in parallel and does not accept that everything can be reduced to the physical, but rather maintains that illnesses have a physical cause, but also an emotional one.
It is a comprehensive treatment for the body as a whole, rather than for specific symptoms.
It is a way of looking at life that differs from that established by conventional medicine, which does not have answers for everything. If we believe that those who hold the official truth can cure all illnesses, we leave no room for options such as the use of Bach flowers.
The father of Bach flowers, Edward Bach, was trained in conventional medicine of his time (1886-1936), but he created a new system. According to traditional medicine, doctors had to cure as quickly as possible but did not investigate the causes of diseases.
Bach learned from ancient alchemists such as Paracelsus and Hahnemann, among others, through the Cooper Club, thus gaining knowledge of spagyric medicine, a science that uses wild plants and offers remedies that differ from those of classical medicine. He was also influenced by Freemasonry and Egyptian medicine through a chemical concept of medical science, according to which human beings are not only bodies, something material, but also spirit and soul.
Bach evolved from the official medicine of his time and innovated by creating what is now known as flower therapy.

Dr. Mariano Bueno, medical director of Biosalud, is an expert in spagyric medicine, which is simply alchemy applied to medicine with the aim of curing and healing diseases.
As you can see in this video, Dr. Bueno talks about what we have discussed, about Spagyria and its evolution. As we will see, the moon activates our parasympathetic system, and the sun activates our sympathetic system.

There is a clear parallel between Bach's system, with its 38 flower remedies, and the Art of Alchemy.
Between 1930 and 1933, Bach created 12 flower essences linked to the 12 zodiacal signs, plus four more, the four helpers, in reference to Alchemy. In 1934, he created three essences related to the so-called Spiritus Mundi (which possesses two opposing forces, Sulfus and Mercurius).
These 19 essences make up the Bach system. So why do we say there are 38 remedies? Because in 1935 he created another 19, but unlike the first 19, this time he boiled the flowers instead of sun-drying them.
However, Bach knew that there are really only 12 personality types, although there is a positive and negative side to each of them. Therefore, thanks to his chemical training, he understood the relationships between plants and emotional states.
Personality exists from birth and is linked to the soul. But it is not just a quantum or emotional aspect, but a unitary concept; the body also counts. And in fact, Hahnemann discovered that in each person's intestine there are certain bacteria that could be the cause of their chronic diseases. He then developed vaccines and nosodes.
Bach flowers are linked to Jung's work, the well-known Psychological Types, in which he describes the main personalities or psychic tendencies of the human race.
The 12 primary personalities Bach spoke of are influenced by the zodiac sign the moon is in at the moment of birth.
Today we know that the moon physically affects Planet Earth, but also psychologically. It has been proven that violent acts increase with lunar changes, specifically with the full moon.
Astrology is based on the idea that personality is linked to the Moon. Bach flowers seek to counteract the negative effects of the moon on human personalities. And every physical illness is actually a reflection of the soul. Every illness needs the mental drive of the person suffering from it in order to be cured. It also needs floral remedies, Bach flowers, which are there to help the individual fight against their negative mental forces.
If an individual becomes stuck in their negative "lunar tendencies," their problem becomes chronic, and chronic illnesses arise. People must remain true to themselves, no matter how difficult their circumstances may be.
The Twelve Healers, Bach's twelve main remedies, help us maintain coherence when there is a disconnect between the soul and the personality. Bach flowers allow the individual to live in tune with their soul.
When these 12 main healers or curers are not powerful enough to redirect the individual to their own being, as they have become accustomed to the illness and see it as part of their personality, Bach created the 4 helpers (fire, air, earth, and water), which will allow the person to know which of the 12 healers is appropriate to heal them.
To the four assistants, he added three more: Vid, Olivo, and Avena silvestre. Finally, he developed his 19 essences, 19 new remedies for more specific moments of crisis.
In short, the 38 flower remedies have a perfectly established purpose and hierarchy.
The therapist treating the patient with Bach flowers must determine from clinical observation whether that patient tends toward a water, earth, air, or fire personality and prepare the necessary remedy for that person.
Don't hesitate, introduce Bach Flowers into your life and you will reconcile with yourself. We all need it today in this world where stress and pessimism seem to want to dominate our minds. Of the two sides we all have, use the positive one.
