Bach Flower Remedies in Relation to Anthroposophic Medicine

“According to Bach, the physical disease had been caused by lack of harmony between soul and spirit, personality and higher self. Disease as such is beneficial and serves us well: it is a corrective, pointing to a lesson to be learned. Essentially there are twelve faults to be recognized. The disease will be cured if we develop the virtue that balances the fault. In support, or even on its own, the appropriate flower therapy is indicated for each fault….

A comparison between Bach's method and anthroposophic medicine will not only throw a light on the Bach Flowers but, if we look at anthroposophic medicine in the mirror of another system, some of the principles of anthroposophic medicine emerge more clearly.”
