Dr. Bach observed that many emotional and even physical ailments stem from a disconnect between the self and one’s true purpose. For him, the root of suffering wasn’t only internal—but often came from external pressures: control, domination, and the subtle or overt manipulation of one soul by another. At the heart of the Bach Flower system is the idea that healing begins when we return to who we truly are. Each remedy is a tool to help us come back to ourselves.
