    In one case a person had sore throat which did not respond to medical treatment for some days. An aged “well wisher” cautioned to take care as in a similar case Mrs. so & so ended up in throat cancer. If the patient ignored the above caution and carried on with normal treatment, no damage is done. But if the patient has taken that statement seriously, then his throat can be set right only when the fear of cancer is wiped out of his mind either by medicine or by psycological treatment. According to Dr.Bach if you can remove the fear of cancer from the mind of the patient, no further medicine would be necessary to remove soreness of the throat. A lady came to see me at 8 p. m on a certain day and said, “uncle I have such excruciating pain in my molar tooth that I want to pull it away and throw it”.
    A dose of Crab. Apple was put in her mouth and another dose given to be taken after an hour.
    The patient met me after a few days and complimented me for the magical effect of that medicine, as the first dose had removed the entire pain before she had so much as crossed the street outside my house, and the pain had not recurred.

  • There are two methods of preparing mother tinctures:
    (1) The Natural Method popularly known as The Sun Method. In this method, Those flowers which bloom during the late spring and summer season when the sun is at its height, are picked at about 9 A.M and floated on water in a glass bowl full to the brim. Take care that the bowl of water placed near the flowering plants, on the ground is in a a place near the flowering plants, on the ground is in a place where tall grass or bushes or twigs of trees do not cast their shadow as the Sun moves across the sky. The flowers are collected from as many trees or bushes as possible. They are picked and placed on a broad leaf placed on the palm of the hand and then deposited gently on the surface of water in the bowl. The process is repeated till the whole surface is thickly covered, overlapping the flowers but seeing that each touches the water.
    Do not cast your shadow on the bowl and do not touch the water with your finger.
    Leave the bowl in clear sunshine for 3 Hours, after which the flower heads are removed with a stalk from the plant. The vitalized water is poured into a jug.
    Take a one ounce bottle, sterilize it by placing it in boiling water for twenty minutes. Dry it, and half fill it with brandy, and fill the remaining half with vitalized water. Place the cap securely.
    Label the bottle with the name of the tincture. It is form this tincture that stock bottles are prepared.

  • Note : In India Bach Flower Remedies are not covered by the DRUGS ACT, and the essences can be produced without having a manufacturer’s licence.
    Nora Weeks of the BACH CENTRE who wrote the book giving details about manufacturing mother tinctures from Wild flowers said “We would like to emphasize that the book is essentially for those who wish to prepare their own essences from the actual wild flowers “for their own use”, for if the essences or stock bottles prepared from them are sold, it will be necessary to procure a manufacturers’ licence”. [This is for England]
    She dissuades manufacture of the essences in other countries by saying “we ask those living abroad not to prepare The Essences even if the flowers have the same Latin name for, due to the difference in soil and climate, they will not give the desired effect. For those who live abroad where the English wild Flowers do not grow, the book is only of interest in Showing what the Bach Flowers are like”.
    Nora Weeks
    We are, however confident that some entrepreneur with the assistance of a good botanist will be, sooner than later be able to manufacture the essences here in India which abounds in forest wealth.
