By Shalini Kagal


Bach flower remedy dosages, like biochemic remedies, are not harmful, never mind how many doses you take in a day. However, taking the regular prescribed dose does work better unless it is an emergency when many more doses at shorter intervals can be given. These remedies can be taken by infants, children, adults, pets and even sprayed on plants.

The usual dose

 

The dosage for most ailments is two drops from the bottle the remedy comes in, four times a day. You should try and see that you don’t eat or drink anything for fifteen minutes before and after the dose if you want the remedy to act well. These are gentle healing remedies and strong flavours and tastes can minimize their effects. The first dose should be on an empty stomach in the morning, followed by doses at noon, evening and night at bedtime. The easiest way to have it is to put two drops into your mouth using the dropper. Do take care not to let the dropper touch your mouth. In most cases, the remedy will have to continue for three to four weeks. You will most probably feel better after the first few doses with the right remedy but you must continue and give it a chance to work well in your body.

 

Emergency dosage

 

When it is a serious case, you can administer two drops from the dropper bottle every fifteen minutes if necessary till the person looks better after which you can get back to four doses a day. In absolute emergencies, you can increase each dose to four drops.

 

Infants’ and young children’s dosage

 

One drop four times a day is the usual dose unless it is an emergency. Children usually respond very quickly to Bach remedies and sometimes one dose is all it takes to make them all right.

 

Pets’ dosage

 

Like children, one drop four times a day is the regular dose unless there is an emergency when you can make it a drop every half an hour till there is visible improvement.

 

Plants’ dosage

 

For plants, you can put two drops in a spray bottle and fill it up with water. You can then spray the plants with it. Plants that are diseased, have had a shock or are dying can be revived with regular spraying in most cases.

 

Other ways to administer Bach remedies

 

You can put the drops into a tablespoon of water and drink it. You can even put them into half a cup of water and sip it. In case you want to give these remedies to someone in the family without them knowing, you could put two drops into a glass of water and give it to them. It is preferable not to add it to juice or other hot or cold drinks. These remedies are so gentle yet effective but they must not be exposed to strong tastes or flavours. 

 

They can be put into water and used as compresses when somehow is hurt or in pain. They can even be put into the bath water – 5 drops to a full bath is recommended.

 

Bach remedies are very often given in combination – a drop from each of the chosen Bach remedies for each dose.

 

What’s more, Bach remedies can be used with other medicines, including allopathic medication as well. They do not affect them. In fact, they are a great way to augment their healing power. They are however, best when used with other forms of holistic medicine.

 

Here are Bach’s 38 flower remedies and the most well known one of them all, the 39th – Rescue Remedy, a combination.

 

Aspen, Agrimony, Beech, Cherry Plum, Chestnut Bud, Centaury, Cerato, Crab AppleChicory, Clematis, Elm, Gorse, Gentian, Heather, Hornbeam, Holly, Honeysuckle, Impatiens, Larch, Mustard, Mimulus, Olive, Oak, Pine, Rock Rose, Rock Water, Red Chestnut, Star of Bethlehem, Scleranthus, Sweet Chestnut, Vine, Vervain, Water Violet, White Chestnut, White Oat, Walnut, Wild Rose, Willow, Rescue Remedy.

Shal, do these have to be taken under supervision...or can one just try them based on second hand knowledge gleaned for instance through your hubs or books?

FP - no supervision needed! Think rose water - we use it in so many recipes.

Well done Shalini, this article is very useful. I used it for my stomach pain once it worked like a charm. Glad to see the nature has so much solution for us but instead we rely too much on medications.

Shalini, is there an absolute maximal dosage past which it is toxic?

Cris A profile image

Cris A  says:

Like in everything else that we do - everything in moderation.

Btw, where's the "dare to hub" hub? :D

Shalini Kagal profile image

Shalini Kagal  says:

Aya - there isn't - since these are basically enery patterns, the body takes the vibration it needs and just ignores the rest - which by itself is harmless. Since the energy is positive, the explanation is that there are no negative effects - so there is supposed to be no toxicity in any form even if you drink bucketfuls :) Bow will love it I'm sure!

Yes Cris - just what we need - not that - like I said to Aya - more will harm in any way - but why waste all that goodness?

.....er...which one? I'm growing senile...help me with my memory here :D
