Self-realization and the work of Dr. Edward Bach
We have all been blessed with the inherent birthright to grow, evolve, feel personal fulfillment and happiness. The degree to which we achieve these to a large extent depends on how committed we are to dealing constructively with negative moods and emotions.
 Seventy years ago, the renowned British physician, bacteriologist, homeopath and researcher, Edward Bach, discovered 38 remedies made from English wildflowers that help bring negative moods and emotions back into balance.
 These are natural, safe, non-addictive and without side effects.
They do not interfere with other medications, conventional or homeopathic, and may be used by adults, children and animals.
Dr. Bach believed, and others since have shown, that negative moods like jealousy, worry, fear and hopelessness, when left uncorrected, can compromise the immune system and lead to physical disease.

How to take the remedies
They may be taken in any of 3 ways:

Nearly fill with spring water a 25ml or 1oz amber bottle with glass dropper. (Sterilize bottle and dropper by boiling for 10 minutes first.) Add 2 drops of each selected remedy (4 drops of Tromos® if you have chosen it). You may add a teaspoon of brandy or cider vinegar as a preservative. Take 4 drops, 4 times per day: morning, noon, evening and before bed. This method is economical and convenient.
2. In Liquids
Put 2 drops of each remedy (4 drops of Tromos®) in a few ounces of water, juice, milk, etc. and sip. Do this 4 times per day as above.
3. From Concentrate Bottle
The remedies may also be taken directly from their original concentrate bottles: 2 drops of each single remedy, 4 drops of Tromos® 4 times per day as above. This method is not recommended for children or if you are alcohol sensitive.
Limit your choice to 6 remedies or less. If after 2 weeks you do not see a noticeable effect re-evaluate your remedy selection.
