SCOPE and LIMITATIONS

 

BACH FLOWER REMEDIES are not for 'treatment' of ordinary diseases like cough and

cold, though there are complete and permanent cure of many acute and some

chronic diseases on record with the use of these remedies. “Treatment of

disease’’ is a low-key approach as far as Bach Remedies are concerned. They are

more for ‘prevention.’ Not for prevention of hepatitis, polio etc., but

prevention of problems in life, like poverty, diseases, deviant behaviour etc.

 

But, on the other hand, BACH REMEDIES give correct answers and solutions to ALL

problems facing humanity—call it addiction, deviant behaviour, unemployment,

insufficient income, disturbances arising out of broken families etc.

 

(A) In the system of Bach Remedies the patient himself tells his remedy to us

by:-

 

(i) either the words used by him in reference to his complaints; or

 

(ii) by body language; or

 

(iii) by his attitude/outlook as observed and reported by those around

him; or, as observed by the practitioner using Bach Remedies. For this you need

not probe deep into his mental faculties nor do psychoanalysis.

 

(B) This is a 'Treat-yourself ' method and no knowledge of anatomy,

physiology, pathology, psychology etc. are required to learn and practise this

system.

 

In other words, Bach Remedies and Bach Remedies alone give the only correct

answer as to why men get diseases, suffer due to poverty, problems in life etc.

By a regular, thorough and systematic study of Bach Remedies we also get right

solutions to incurable diseases and terminal illness, thus making it different

from and superior to other forms of treatment

 

Those who are not qualified or Regd. Medical Practitioners may ask as to how

they can use Bach Remedies without themselves being a Regd. or qualified medical

practitioner. The next chapter gives the answer.

 

When there is a gross change in the brain such as growth of a tumour, lesion,

atrophy etc. (pathology) (which form a small percentage of mental illness) Bach

Remedies cannot, of course, cure them. But in respect of behavioural and other

disorders (not arising from gross lesions in brain and not due to side-effects

of allopathic drugs which are chemicals capable of damaging brain permanently)

Bach Remedies can certainly cure.

 

‘DRUG’, ‘MEDICINE’, ‘REMEDY’ defined and explained:

 

Why do we say that to use Bach Remedies for yourself and others you need not be

a Regd. Medical Practitioner? For this we must understand the difference

between ‘drug’ and ‘remedy.’

 

There are 'Drug Inspectors' appointed by the government, but there are no

'Remedy Inspectors' as such.

 

Allopathic Drugs )

 

Homoeopathic Medicine ) There is not much difference between medicine

 

Bach Remedies ) and ‘remedy’

 

Allopathic drugs are noxious and poisonous chemicals. If prescribed wrongly or

given in overdose, they would, in most cases, endanger the life of the patient.

For example, if a non-diabetic patient takes insulin or any other tablet meant

for diabetes, his sugar level would come down considerably and he may swoon.

That is why you find the following caution printed on the drugs: “To be used by

a Regd. Medical Practitioner, Hospital or Laboratory only.’’

 

But a ‘Remedy’ is different from a ‘drug.’ Remedies are harmless even if used

wrongly. Suppose you advise a patient to apply castor oil on a sprained neck and

do massage; or for ‘constipation’ you tell someone to take castor oil internally

1-2 ounce, this is called a 'remedy'. It won’t do any serious harm. At the most

the person may have 5-7 times purging or loose bowel movements. For prescribing

a ‘medicine’ or ‘remedy’ you need not be a qualified/Regd. Medical Practitioner.

 

In Bach Remedies, two pills are given for a dose, irrespective of age. If

wrongly given or even if the whole phial of 300 pills are taken at a time, there

won’t be any side-effects because the material content is negligible—trace

quantity. The effects of Bach Remedies are ‘dynamic’ and not physiological. In

other words, you cannot harm anyone in any way by so-called overdosing or wrong

prescription.

 

Again, there are no side-effects or contra-indications. Also, no diet

restrictions and can be taken while you are on other forms of treatment/therapy.

(Anything dissolved in sugar base or alcohol or honey have no expiry date. Bach

Remedies are available in the form of tiny sugar pills. Hence these have no

expiry date.)

 

Let us for example, take the case of ‘addiction’ and find how Bach Remedies

offer the right solution.

 

ADDICTION as viewed in the system of BACH FLOWER REMEDIES

 

[in De-addiction Centres, one and the same allopathic drugs are used to treat

all types of alcoholic victims. The persons thus treated, of course, give up

alcohol. But, because of the side-effects, he becomes dull, stupid, lazy,

lethargic etc., and is unable to concentrate in discharging his official duties

as well as his responsibilities at home. Alas! After six months, when the drug

goes out of his body, he starts consuming double the quantity of what he had

been taking originally. It is a stereotyped method in allopathy where humans are

treated like animals and thus the patients suffer from side-effects.]

 

In Bach Remedies system we do not treat 'addiction' but we treat

'personalities.' Hence no side-effects nor the person becoming immune to Bach

Remedies in future. We individualise the victims.

 

The following type of classifications is not anybody’s theory but they have

been in existence from time immemorial.

 

 

 

(A) REGULAR (DAILY) DRINKERS/CHAIN-SMOKERS:

 

 

 

Name of the Mind symptom of the victim (addict)

 

Bach Remedy

 

 

 

WALNUT Here, it is a matter of sheer habit. The question of

giving up alcohol/tobacco does not arise because the victim does not even think

of making an attempt to give up this habit. For once, if he misses his drink,

his hand would shake and subsequently suffer from withdrawal symptoms. This is

A CLEAR CASE OF ADDICTION INDEED.

 

 

 

SCLERANTHUS At night he firmly takes a vow that from the next day he won’t

take alcohol and even promises his wife too. But the very next day the same old

story is repeated. This is not addiction but “UNSTEADINESS OF MIND’’

(Irresolution).

 

 

 

AGRIMONY Does not take alcohol for 'kick' as the above first said

Walnut-type persons. But to forget his worries at home when some dishonourable

events has happened like the elopement of his daughter, his wife living with

another person, etc., one day he suddenly starts drinking to ventilate his

suppressed emotions and grief.

 

 

 

VINE Not necessarily drinks for ‘kick’ like the first said

Walnut-type. He wants to put up a show before others that he does drink imported

stuff like Scotch etc., —The status monger. This would be evidenced by the fact

that in his house we find in the hall, empty biscuit brandy bottles are neatly

arranged in a row in the showcase

 

 

 

CHERRY He decides to give up the habit and has completely

stopped it. But if

 

PLUM he happens to see the bottle or someone

smoking, he would take a peg (or a cigarette) and no more after that, till such

time he again sees the bottle/cigarette packet. A case of “irresistible

temptation’’ indeed.

 

 

 

(B) Occasional Drinkers:

 

 

 

Name of the Mind symptom of the victim (addict)

 

Bach Remedy

 

 

 

WILD ROSE Again, Wild Rose-type persons are not regular drinkers. They

drink to 'enjoy' life or to celebrate once a while, like for example, on the

first of every month when they get their monthly salary or, on the day of

receiving yearly bonus; or, on the date of getting arrears etc., and on

occasions like promotion, transfer, wedding party etc. (celebration!)

 

 

 

HORNBEAM These types of persons are neither 'addicts' nor are they

fond of the 'kick' feeling. They are tonic-mongers or strength-maniacs. Drinks

'wine' or 'brandy' only, because they have heard that these two are good for

health. (It is said that one drop of wine is equal to one drop of blood!) They

are over-conscious of nutrition, vim, vigour & vitality. They have forgotten

that 'health is wealth' and wrongly think that 'strength is wealth.'

 

 

 

CHICORY Here he is a miser and does not drink by buying from the

liquor shop. But when it is available 'free of cost' such as in parties etc.,

even though he does not know how to drink, he gulps down as much as possible and

comes home and vomits all. (The regular drinker knows his limit and does not

overdose himself.) Examples are waiters working in Army Officers Mess and

top-executives attending parties quite often resort to this type of drinking.

 

 

 

MIMULUS Here is the 'nervous fellow' who has the fear-complex,

drinks to become courageous. These types take liquor just before encountering

his rivals.

 

 

 

 

 

Thus, we call Bach Remedies as a human medicine because every victim/patient is

individualised. Be that as it may. Let us find the correct answer to the

question as to why a person becomes an addict.

 

Again, let us reiterate, that we are here not doing any psycho-analysis of

addicts, but in the above table, we have just and only given the classification

as it exists and found by us, from time immemorial. (Mighty Nature cannot be

studied or learnt!)

 

Causes of Addiction / The Real Nature of Disease:

 

To a chain smoker or to a person who drinks daily without a break—as a matter of

sheer habit or addiction, we give the Bach Remedy Walnut daily 2-4 times. Sooner

or later he gives up the bad habit. But we do not stop the remedy even after he

gives up alcohol/tobacco smoke. Why? This is because we have to find out as to

why he became an addict. In the case of 99% of addictions wherever we had

prescribed Walnut and when this was continued even after he gave up the

addiction, sooner or later we noticed that all of them started learning painting

or instrumental music. After 1-2 years of practice he started performing in

stages earning 2-5 thousand rupees for each 2-hour performance compared to his

5-7 thousand rupees which he got by working for 30 days x 8 hours.

 

Thus, Walnut not only helped him to give up the bad habit but also enabled him

to earn more money.

 

Let us now examine as to how 'addiction' is related to 'painting' or

'instrumental music.'

 

In alcoholism or tobacco-smoking, a person does daily one and the same thing

repeatedly with his hands. In learning painting/instrumental music and after

some years of learning, while performing in theatres also, he does the same

thing repeatedly over and over again.

 

Smoking is a sign of disease—'negative' aspect of mind.

 

Instrumental (music) Painting—'positive' aspect of mind.

 

In the above situation, the Bach Remedy Walnut takes a person from the

'negative' to the 'positive' side.

 

Addicts are called 'negative' Walnut-type personalities. Walnut type person

cannot keep quite even for a moment and does one and the same work repeatedly

over and over again. Just because the parents refused to send him to a painting

or music school (and wrongly thought that he must first become at least a

graduate and so put in an academic school) he got diverted to the readily

available tobacco smoke or liquor.

 

Thus, we do not 'treat' or 'cure' addicts or addiction; but from their NEGATIVE

type (smoking tobacco/drinking alcohol) the indicated Bach remedy takes them to

the positive aspect (painting/instrumental music).3 We are not here advancing

any of our own 'theory' relating smoking/alcoholism with painting/instrumental

music. It is practical. It only exists as it is and we have simply discovered

it from repeated observations.

 

 

 

These remedies have the power to help us preserve our personality.

 

Successful artists and instrumentalists like Sitar Ravishanker of North India or

Mandolin Shrinivas, Veena Gayathri, Flute Sashank are called POSITIVE-WALNUT

type personalities. Suppose parents of these personalities did the mistake of

forcing their children to first complete their graduation, they would have by

now become addicts to liquor/drugs.

 

From the foregoing analysis we can safely conclude that in de-addiction centres

instead of treating them with drugs as in veterinary practice,

painting/instrumental music should be taught.

 

It is not anybody's theory but we are in direct communion with the mighty

Nature. Wherever the Bach Remedy Walnut was prescribed, the person not only

stopped his cigarettes/alcohol but also simultaneously turned to

painting/instrumental music and thus started earning several fold of what he was

originally earning.

WHY SHOULD ALL OF US KNOW & LEARN DR. BACH FLOWER REMEDIES OF ENGLAND?

 

" Heuristic " method is a way of learning without a teacher. The student has to

find out and learn things by himself. Perhaps, most of you have not heard of

this method.

 

HEURISTIC METHOD and WHY SHOULD WE KNOW ABOUT what is it ?

 

Take any subject—psychology, geometry, astronomy. The first person who had

introduced that as a subject of study found out and formulated it by himself and

not by studying under any teacher.

 

Maths wizard Shakuntala Devi, who had not entered a college or university

classroom was given a brand new Benz car (worth Rs.30 lakhs) free of cost when

she challenged the latest computer in Benz car manufacturing company of Germany

and did a complicated calculation mentally and gave the answer speedier than the

latest computer. She became a wizard in calculations not by studying B.Sc. or

M.Sc. (maths) in any college but is a mere S.S.L.C. or Tenth Standard.

 

Nor did Mahatma Gandhi study ahimsa (non-violence) in any college. He became the

father of the nation not because he was a barrister-at-law. Nay, most people do

not know that he is a foreign qualified law graduate!

 

Nor had Oxford studied English literature in any college to compile world famous

and Number One Oxford dictionary. He studied up to 9th standard and discontinued

his school.

 

Our arts colleges/universities all over the world are not able to bring out a

better compiler of dictionary than Oxford.

 

Number one author of World History is H. G. Wells. Alas! He was a science

student and he did not study B.A. or M.A. (History) to become No.1 author of

world history.

 

If you want to end up as a mere breadwinner by earning 5-10 thousand rupees per

month, you may mug up notes aspiring to put the title " M.A. " etc., after your

name. But if you want more servants to wait on you like Oxford, Shakuntala Devi

etc., and if you want to get an income proportionate to your expenses and

requirements, then heuristic method is there for you.

 

" What should I now do to find a fine new thing/subject by heuristic method? "

Some of you may wonder!

 

Our answer is, 'For that, you have to free yourself from the undesirable effects

of tradition, descent etc.'

 

Again your question would be: " How can I do that? "

 

Answer to this question come from Bach Flower Remedies of England.

 

HOW CAN WE SAY THAT BACH FLOWER REMEDIES ARE EFFECTIVE IN SHAPING EVERY ONE'S

PERSONALITY?

 

We have already said that these flowers are available in English forests alone.

The aroma of these flowers carried by the flower dust and spread by winds have

been influencing the British people from time immemorial and making them No.1,

in all fields.

 

How can we say that the British are No.1 in the World ?

 

The B.B.C. (British Broadcasting Corporation) broadcasts news in Tamil, Hindi

etc. This does not bring any credit to Indians, because the B.B.C. broadcasts

in forty-three languages of the world.

 

But our All India Radio does not go beyond Indian languages, although the total

area of Great Britain (including England, Scotland and Ireland) is just

one-thirteenth of India.

 

When former Prime Minister Indira Gandhi was shot dead, Rajiv Gandhi was touring

in West Bengal. He learnt the news first from B.B.C. radio. The B.B.C.

correspondent in Delhi receives the news immediately and he swiftly sends it to

London B.B.C. office, which in turn broadcasts it all over the world. But

Indian officials could not transmit the news from Delhi to West Bengal quicker

than B.B.C.

 

B.B.C. news is the quickest and the most reliable. When any news is heard in big

official circles, to verify whether it is a rumour or a fact, they would at once

crosscheck with B.B.C. news!

 

The staff strength of the B.B.C. is less than one-fourth of A.I.R. staff in

Delhi or Chennai.

 

Radio stations of many countries relay B.B.C. news, but B.B.C. does not relay

news of other stations.

 

The highest respectable qualification in medical practice is F.R.C.S., M.R.C.P.

etc. These can be acquired by studying in England alone. The richest Gulf

countries have accepted and adopt these parameters for employing doctors in

their hospitals and M.B.B.S., M.D., or M.S. from India hardly get a place.

 

To study economics, London School of Economics is the most prestigious

institution and to get admission is not an easy task. And the fees? A whooping

twenty lakhs! Again, those Indians who have studied Law in England

(Barrister-at-law) have opened offices all over Europe. This qualification is

recognised internationally.

 

We are not writing all these to praise Englishmen, but the focus is on something

else, something productive and result-based subject.

 

Scotland Yard is the world-renowned police force. Even in Indira Gandhi's

assassination case, their help was sought. One of the British cop from Scotland

Yard who arrived in Delhi for investigation spoke Punjabi fluently with Punjabi

accent and his dress, behaviour/mannerisms were exactly that of a Punjabi

because the assassins of Indira Gandhi were two Punjabis. This gives us the

impression that they have the enthusiasm and spirit to prepare themselves for

any suitable requirement. But policemen in India are hardly trained to talk

English fluently like British or U.S. nationals.

 

Leading Tamil cine music composer Ilayaraja received the Maestro award (the

highest in the world for excellence in Music) which, again, was instituted by

England. Receiving such award by Ilayaraja is not a credit for Tamilians or

Indians; but it is unfortunate that we in India do not have one of our own to

honour others at international level.

 

Car race on good road depends upon the driver's skill. But car race on the

rough roads is to test the roadworthiness of the make of the car. In the

Himalayan car rally (rough and rugged road), Dolphin car (English make) came

first in endurance test.

 

How is it possible for the British to be No. 1 in many fields? Even in games,

the most popular and most loved one is cricket. This again is of England's

origin.

 

Again, even among pen, No.1 is Parker or Swan. No.1 Soap is Pears (all these

are from England) English 7' O Clock Blade is No.1 in the world.

 

And now, the secret of their being No. 1:

 

It is only because of the effects of thirty-seven wild flowers available in

abundance in their natural habitat in English forests only. The aroma of these

flowers has been influencing the British for thousands of years. (We import

these into India and sell in the form of 'ready-to-take' chewable pills at a

cheaper rate of Rs.50 in an easy to carry 10ml pack of 300 pills.)

 

The medicinal and other effects of these thirty-seven flowers on human

personality were discovered by Dr. Edward Bach, M.B.B.S., M.R.C.S. of London, in

1936. He abandoned his lucrative medical practice in Harley street (Hollywood

of doctors) and like Gautama Buddha wandered in thick forests and fell upon the

thirty-seven wild flowers.

 

These are not per se for treatment of diseases. They are to solve our problems

in life, remove defects in our personality and help us to increase our income

and life-style.

 

Many seemingly intelligent readers may ask: " How can a pill increase my income

or personality?''

 

Our answer is: " Do you know to whom the President's Gallantry Award is given on

the Republic Day? If you have learnt swimming (and also rescue operations) and

if you save a drowning person, you won't be given that award.

 

The award is given to a boy of twelve, who, not knowing swimming, rescues a

drowning person who is above his age, size and weight.

 

How is this possible?

 

These cannot strictly be classified as medicine, we must bear in mind the fact

that these are regulators of the human mind. Treatment of certain diseases is

also possible with these remedies, but its unique feature is that, it alone

offers medicines for 'afflictions' otherwise called 'witchcrafts'.

 

Dear readers, it is now up to you to decide whether you would like to know and

learn the subject of Bach Flower Remedies and improve your income & life-style

by taking suitable Bach remedy(ies) on yourself.

 

How do we understand the scientificity of the action of the Bach Remedies? For

this one has to carefully study and interpret the following.

 

When we feel hungry we take food provided by nature; When we feel thirsty, we

take water provided by nature. When we feel chilly we wear woollen clothes, and

feel comfortable. Every time, we feel hungry and thirsty, we do not go to the

pathologist to know what the matter is. So also, when we are sick, Nature has

provided us a group of wild flowers so that we may treat and cure ourselves

easily, gently and quickly and without side-effects. Nature constantly works

towards perfection. Science is after all study of things in Nature, but, alas,

Nature is to be admired and not studied or learnt.

 

These remedies are 'user-friendly' and the system is 'self-complete'.

 

The reader should not conclude that he must 'consult' an expert to know which

remedies he should take for himself for his problems.

 

You go to Germany and you do not know German language. You do not every now then

ring up to Chennai asking someone (who knows German and your mother tongue,)

what you should say for buying apple in the shop. etc. etc. Instead, the best

way is to learn German language.

 

When you feel hungry you take food and you do not ask anybody what you should

eat.

 

So also, whatever may be your needs, problems in life, requirements etc, we say

that you first learn the subject, get into that and then everything becomes easy

and automatic. This is because a remedy useful for you in one situation may be

useful to another person for a different purpose. In other words, these are

highly individualised.

 

For example, let us take an actual case of five persons, all of whom developed

pain in abdomen, after taking food from a restaurant. In allopathy, a doctor may

treat by prescribing uniformly one remedy to all the five for treating 'food

poison' case.

 

Shyam: " In hotels they don't meticulously clean the plates. They simply dip the

plates in a bucketful of water and that is all. Probably someone with infectious

or contagious disease might have taken food before us and through the bucketful

of water it might have spread to all of us. That is why we have this abdominal

pain " .

 

Wilson: 'They use half-perished vegetables and substandard oil for cooking.

They want to make more money and we are suffering because of them.'

 

John: 'Hotel food never agrees with my belly. I always try to avoid it. Had I

avoided it this time, I would not have got this pain'.

 

Rosy: 'Probably I might have committed some sin and I am now paying for my past

sins with this abdominal pain'.

 

Lusy, on his part, tells: " I am afraid that we may develop diarrhoea and

vomiting and consequent dehydration. Better, we see a doctor immediately. "

 

In the above five instances, though the complaint is uniform in all the five

individuals, viz., abdominal pain, the reaction or words used by them are

totally different from one another.

 

Practitioners of all other systems would have simply ignored the above

statements and they would have treated all of them for food-poisoning or so and

it means hospitalization, taking medicines for a few days etc.

 

But, in Bach Remedies, the cure is almost instantaneous. Each herb corresponds

with one of the qualities and its purpose is to strengthen that quality so that

the personality may rise above the fault that is the particular stumbling block.

 

On reading the above, most readers at once rush to the wrong conclusion that

this system is based on psycho-analysis and they must be expert in psychology to

'probe deep into the mental faculty of the patients'. No, not at all.

 

Of course, a patient walks in with a physical complaint, but if we only allow

them to continue, they invariably end up with a mental symptom. It is therefore,

the real cause behind the disease which is of utmost importance, the mental

state of the patient himself, not the condition of the body (Edward Bach).

 

What we say is that it is more than sufficient if you listen to the patient

allowing him to talk; nothing more and nothing less. The patient details his

suffering. Those around him remark what they have observed about him. The

practitioner listens without interrupting him to identify the mental symptom.

Every interruption breaks the train of thought of the narrator, and all he would

have said at first does not again occur to him in precisely in same manner after

that.

 

CASE STUDY - I

 

A lady walked into my clinic the other morning and pointing to a slight swelling

in her left forearm told, " Doctor, look at this swelling… " (After a pause she

continued) " I am afraid it may not be anything like cancer " . (here the patient

enters with a physical symptom viz., swelling, but ends up with a mind symptom,

" fear of disease (of cancer) " .

 

Mimulus is the name of a Bach remedy for 'fear' and I gave this to her to be

taken three times daily (two pills for a dose) and in a week's time the swelling

disappeared completely.

 

The reader must note that in this case, I did not prescribe Mimulus for

" swelling " but for " fear " (of known things). This method of prescribing Bach

Remedies has nothing to do at all with psychosomatic illness etc. We do not coin

any word or use any terminology. Again, we are not here introducing any system.

It already does exist in Nature.

 

CASE STUDY - II

 

The other day, a 55 year old person walked in and asked me " Doctor, do you have

any medicine for low blood-pressure " . I answered in the affirmative and asked

him what the matter was, to which he said: " Doctor, in the night I would

suddenly wake up with fear. I cannot describe what it is—it is a vague fear;

next morning I would go to my allopathic doctor and after checking my blood

pressure he would say that I am having low blood pressure and he would prescribe

some tablets; but this frequent waking from sleep with fear continues. I want a

permanent cure. "

 

In this case the patient walks in with the complaint " low blood pressure " but

ultimately ends up with 'vague or irrational fear'. In case No.1 above, it is

Mimulus. In the second case another Bach Remedy, viz.,Aspen cured him. Aspen is

for 'vague and unknown fear'. Otherwise called as ‘‘Free Floating anxiety’’ in

psychiatry.

 

CASE STUDY - III

 

Mr. S., sixty, was admitted for cataract surgery. On the day when he was taken

to the theatre he got frightened on looking at the surgical instruments etc.,

and his blood pressure shot up. So surgery was postponed and he was given pills

to bring down the blood pressure; on next day also, the same story was repeated

and so on. Mimulus was given three times daily and he was no more afraid of

surgery and his blood pressure remained normal.

 

In patients needing Mimulus, it is about a particular known thing that they are

afraid of.

 

Some examples are:

 

• 'Fear of taking an injection'. We call such persons 'nervous types'.

 

• 'Fear of high places;' 'fear of the boss in office'.

 

• 'Fear of robbers, accidents, examinations'.

 

• 'Fear of electric current' and so is afraid of handling

electrically-operated appliances. We call such persons 'nervous types'.

 

• 'Fear of darkness' (But, if this is ameliorated in company, then another

Bach remedy, viz., Chicory is to be prescribed).

 

• Fear of using the razor for shaving, of dogs, of oxen'. When he has to

meet a big person, he becomes nervous.

 

• Fear of father who is always strict and beats his children often.

 

To a lady in whose house there were lot of cockroaches of which she was afraid,

Mimulus was given three times daily; after a week she remarked; " I am not afraid

of cockroaches now… " .

 

Whenever a patient tells you of his trouble: " I am afraid that it may be cancer "

or " Will it spread? " or " Will it terminate in a fatal or incurable disease? "

then, irrespective of the ailment he is referring to, you can give him the Bach

remedy Mimulus. It not only removes fear from the mind of such persons but also

cures the disease about which he refers to with fear. This is useful in

treating certain diseases what the psychologists call as psycho-somatic

illnesses.

 

'Fear of impending disease', 'fear of the disease getting worse or terminating

fatally' all need Mimulus. Often we find this symptom in case of difficult

breathing, pain in chest etc.

 

" I had pain in my chest last night. Will it turn into heart attack or is it

connected with the beginning of any serious heart troubles? " asked a lady.

Mimulus cured her.

 

Nature cannot be studied or learnt. Nature can be admired.

 

We are still at the entrance gate of Nature.

 

Rarely we get a glimpse of wonders of mighty Nature.

 

Dr. Bach Flower Remedies of England is one such rarest things which you would

only wish that you had learnt it much earlier in your lifetime.

 

Nature constantly works towards perfection.

 

Nature's ways cannot be improved upon.

 

If God loves us so much where comes disease and suffering of humans? These

thoughts led Dr. Edward Bach to abandon his lucrative medical practice in Harley

Street (Hollywood of doctors) and go in search of truth, like Gautama Buddha.

 

We only get astonished at the tremendous and marvellous effects of these

remedies.

 

For example, Rescue Remedy, one of the Bach Remedies is a near-panacea where

life is in danger in medical emergencies arising from traumatic causes—serious

accidents (including road and industrial accidents, extensive burns & scalds,

snake/scorpion and other poison bites, electric shock etc. excepting, of course,

fractures.) These are not diseases per se, but endanger the life of the victim

arising from external causes, otherwise called 'trauma' in medical parlance.

 

Within minutes after accident, put two pills into the mouth of the victim. (Not

being a 'doctor' or 'qualified & registered medical practitioner' if you are

afraid of giving 'medicine' to anyone, you may dissolve 5-10 pills in little

plain water and apply the solution anywhere on the skin of the victim. The

medicated water applied on the skin gives the same result if taken orally.)

 

Moments later, after one single dose of Rescue Remedy, we would see

 

(i) bleeding stops, however long or deep the cut may be and without

any need to put up a bandage; later, the patient may go to a nurse or a doctor

for suturing the wound.

 

(ii) pain, swelling etc. is reduced considerably.

 

(iii) in case of poison-bites, the poison is neutralized.

 

(iv) in the case of burns & scalds, burning pain completely stops and

next day there is no after-effects, such as bleb formation, hardening of

tissues, discolouration of skin etc. It may be mentioned here that even if you

go to any qualified doctor he has no medicine to stop the burning pain nor to

prevent the after-effects.

 

DEVIANT BEHAVIOUR

 

To a student of psychology each one of the following may appear to be different

mental attitudes

 

1. While travelling in the bus a man cuts off the long hair of a young woman

sitting in front of him;

 

2. An old man takes a long and sharp nail and punctures all the two-wheelers

parked in front of the flats.

 

3. When the daughter tells her father that she had passed her 12th standard

in first class, he is not in any way affected by the news. At the most he may

sigh saying that he has to now run from pillar to post of get college admission

for her.

 

Any psychology student may call the first two behaviours as 'impulse' or 'hidden

irrational motives for action.' And the third as 'joylessness' or feeling that

life is a burden.

 

In the system of BACH FLOWER REMEDIES one remedy covers all the above mind

symptoms viz.,Wild Rose. The keyword for this remedy is MISANTHROPY or

‘Indifference to living/mankind.’ The characteristics of person needing the

remedy Wild Rose are given below:

 

(1) When he buys a thing worth twenty rupees from a shop and pays a

one-hundred-rupee note and when the shopkeeper pays the balance he puts the

money into his packet without counting it.

 

(2) When someone sends New Year Greetings he drops it into the waste paper

basket without caring to know who had sent and what is written inside. Does not

send Pongal or New Year Greetings to any one.

 

(3) This Wild Rose-type mentality can be found in any average government

servant where promotion is only once in ten years after he reaches the highest

in his pay-scale and so promotion does not mean extra income. (But in private

company if one works hard he gets double promotion etc.)

 

(4) When the country's general elections results are announced he does not

care to know which political party won.

 

All the above are classified under the following category and the remedy is Wild

Rose.

 

Misanthropy—no 'thrill' in life—indifference—feels that life is a burden— just

eats because he feels hungry, does not care to 'select' dresses; puts on some

dress or other merely because he cannot go on the street or to the office

without putting up a shirt—does not care to shave his face daily nor to do

haircut once in a month; does not even comb hair nor applies oil on head daily.

 

CRISIS MANAGEMENT

 

The greatest benefit that we get from Flower Remedies is seen when we come to

this topic Crisis Management.

 

1. You are flying in an aircraft and in mid air it is being hijacked.

 

2. A child is kidnapped and ransom is demanded over phone.

 

3. Daughter-in-law is ill-treated by husband and mother-in-law and even

knowing these the parents of the girl cannot challenge the in-laws because, in

India, divorce, remarriage etc. cannot be thought of in many families, because

they are considered as a social stigma.

 

In all the above situations you take a dose of the Bach Remedy Rock Water and

 

(i) the hijacker would release you only;

 

(ii) the kidnapper surrenders.

 

(iii) Give the Bach Remedy Rock Water to the girl and the in-laws start

behaving rationally towards her.

 

Haughty, arrogant, dominating husbands who drink liquor daily in the evening and

come home at night and beat their wives are common these days. If the wives take

Rock Water their husbands calm down.

 

A very poor Brahmin purohit (priest, who performs poojas etc. at houses and get

a meagre income that too on festivals days and when religious rites are

performed) with great difficulty sent his only son to the school and college and

made him a graduate. Then by paying a bribe of ten thousand rupees got a job

also for the boy. But the latter stopped going to work saying that since the

father is earning he won't go to office. Rock Water was given to the father and

the son started behaving humanely.

 

——————

 

another bach remedy — chestnutbud; Its multiple uses:

 

In the 'negative aspect' of this remedy we find

 

(i) unable to learn from repeated experience/training. (So, as a

result, he tries to escape from that subject)

 

(ii) escapist mentality

 

Any thief, criminal or offender would only try to 'escape.' That is why we have

police station, third degree manners in lock-up resulting in death in some

cases, court, prison etc. etc.

 

Whether it is one who has committed a murder or the maidservant working in your

house who had stolen your gold chain, give a few pills of the Bach remedy

Chestnutbud mixed in water/coffee/tea or juice. If she or he had stolen, they

would, of their own, voluntarily accept the theft and return the stolen thing to

you.

 

Chestnutbud is not a 'truth finder'. It simply and only removes the negative

aspect of the mind- " escapist mentality. " Therefore, lock-up deaths, court etc.,

go out of terminology and the poor newspaper men would have no work to do.

 

If the maidservant does not do her duties properly but is marking time and

shirking responsibility, add a few pills of Chestnutbud to her coffee that you

give her daily and see the result. She does all the household chores correctly.

 

The convicts, upon completion of their term of punishment, when they are

released from prisons, as a rehabilitation measure give them daily 1-2 doses of

Chestnutbud. Will it remove their thieving mentality? No one has so far given

the correct solution for the culprits as rehabilitation method. These so-called

convicts had been sent on earth to learn a particular unique subject (distinct

and different from all others, who, like herds of animals are studying commerce,

computer, literature etc. etc.) Because he could not find the teacher to teach

him that unique subject or trade, his mind gets diverted to the readily

available burglary, pickpocketing etc.

 

As a rehabilitation measure, give all these convicts the Bach remedy Chestnutbud

and we would be surprised how they learn a hitherto unknown unique

trade/subject/profession and become No.1 in that and would really be earning in

a very decent manner more than the judge or police superintendent who had sent

him to jail.

 

Whether you are going to use these remedies (on yourself or on others) or not,

after mastering the subject, you would have in fact, mastered the 38

remedy-types or personalities. Thus, it would enable you to know how to behave

with each type or what to expect from each of them. For example, let us take

the case of those persons who are over-conscious of cleanliness and are

sensitive to filth, contamination, contagion etc. and washing their hands even

after shaking hands with any one. we call these persons as Crab Apple types.

After learning Bach remedies, you would know that the best place for Crab Apple

type persons to work is the kitchen where hygiene is paramount.

 

 

 

Shyam " In hotels they don't meticulously clean the plates. They

simply dip the plates in a bucketful of water and that is all. Probably someone

with infectious or contagious disease might have taken food before us and

through the bucketful of water it might have spread to all of us. That is why we

have this abdominal pain " Keywords (Symptom) : over-conscious of filth,

contamination, contagion etc. Relevant Bach Remedy : Crab Apple

 

 

 

Wilson " They use half-perished vegetables and substandard oil for

cooking. They want to make more money and we are suffering because of them "

Keywords (Symptom) : Blaming others for his difficulties Relevant Bach Remedy :

Willow

 

 

 

John " Hotel food never agrees with my belly. I always try to

avoid it. Had I avoided it this time, I would not have got this pain " Keywords

(Symptom) : Regret

Relevant Bach Remedy : Honeysuckle

 

 

 

Rosy " Probably I might have committed some sin and I am now

paying for my past sins with this abdominal pain " Keywords (Symptom) : Guilt

complex or self-contempt Relevant Bach Remedy : PINE

 

 

 

Lusy " I am afraid we may develop diarrhoea and vomiting and

consequent dehydration. Better, we see a doctor immediately " Keywords

(Symptom) : fear of known cause Relevant Bach Remedy : Mimulus

 

 

 

STUDENTS GETTING POOR MARKS or low I. Q. (We must keep in mind that the

following can be cured only if C.T. scan shows no abnormality in the brain.)

 

(1) The boy himself studies well for hours; goes for tuition for different

subjects by separate teachers; parents too teach him. In spite of all these he

scores single digit marks. We say that he has low i. q. Just because till date

we have no remedy to cure this type of slow or difficult learning we had easily

coined the word low i. q. This is escapism. In these types of cases the Bach

Remedy Chestnutbud is given; (give for 2-3 times a day and proportionate to the

improvement, gradually increase the duration between the doses) and the boy

scores first rank in the next exam.

 

We must here carefully note that the remedy Chestnutbud does not increase

anyone's brain power or capacity. It only and merely removes 'lack of interest'

and 'inattention.'

 

Now, you cannot go about to all the schools and colleges and start giving

Chestnutbud to all the boys and make them score first rank or class first. Such

a stereotyped method or routinism of treating students like animals cannot be

tolerated by Bach Remedies System.

 

In the case of the remedy Chestnutbud it is mainly for those getting single

digit marks in spite of tuitions etc., and hard study by himself.

 

(2) Let us now turn our attention to another set of students where the mother

says,

 

" Doctor, if he sits and studies well, he would no doubt score first rank. But

the problem with him is that he does not study much, but takes more interest in

watching TV, playing games etc.

 

In this case it is laziness or indifference to important things. These boys

study late hours just 1-2 weeks before examination. For these class of boys the

Bach remedy is Scleranthus and when it is given they become prompt and score

first rank.

 

(3) Let us now turn away from the above two categories of boys and examine

another type.

 

A boy scores anywhere between 46 to 74% and you ask him why he is not getting

first rank like the boy who stands first in the class. Listen to his reply,

 

" I cannot be like him. He is all great. "

 

Here he unnecessarily praises the first rank boy and comparing himself with him

he says that cannot be like him. A case of lack of self-confidence. Larch is the

Bach Remedy for this boy and this remedy will make him to score the first rank.

 

You should not hastily conclude that by giving all the above three remedies,

(viz., Chestnutbud, Scleranthus and Larch) to all students we may make everyone

get first rank. That is routinism and bad practice. You have to individualise

each student by learning the symptom of various Bach remedies.

 

(4) To a boy who was getting average marks, the above three remedies viz.,

Chestnutbud, Scleranthus and Larch were given (to be taken together, daily one

dose before going to the school). In the following examination he failed (a

thing never happened in his case.) The teacher came to us running in excitement

and asking whether the remedies would act in a reverse (or negative) way. We

asked the boy to be brought before us, along with his parents. From the

description of parents we could easily conclude that he was neither a

Chestnutbud-type nor Scleranthus-type nor Larch-type.

 

We simply asked the boy as to why he failed. His reply,

 

" Fellows who do not know the subject have come to the school to cut my throat. "

 

Here, he " blames " the teacher for his failure in the examination. (When a

person is of a remedy type and if a wrong remedy is prescribed, the latter would

make his remedy-type-symptoms more prominent.)

 

Willow is the name of another Bach remedy for " blaming others for our faults. "

This was prescribed to him and he got first rank in the following exam.

 

Like this you must know the classifications of the 38 remedy-types. Then

prescription becomes easy.

 

Learn the subject first and then start prescribing for addiction, for boys poor

in studies, for increasing one's income, strategies, dimensions etc.

 

Otherwise, if you think that you are doing an intelligent or a clever job by

asking us names of remedy for 'memory power' etc., you would fail miserably.

 

You cannot make Bach Remedies to fit into your classifications, et hoc genus

omne, but learn the classifications here in Bach Remedies System and use them

accordingly.

 

FLOWER REMEDIES IN PSYCHIATRIC ILLNESS:

 

Best results are achieved in those cases of patients who complain of vague

sensations (not described in any medical texts under any category of disease)

and excluding hypochondriacs, in all cases where patients are declared as

'clinically alright' by the specialist and ultimately referred to a

psychiatrist. These cases are easily cured by Bach Remedies. In other words

these are ‘‘Sensation as if...’’ (delusions, illusions, hallucinations).

 

E.S.P. (Extra Sensory Perceptive Power), thought reading etc.

 

Allopathic drugs (chemicals) acts both on diseased as well as healthy tissues.

Hence side-effects.

 

Bach Remedies acts on diseased tissues only and does not touch healthy tissues.

Hence no side-effects.

 

Therefore, if a symptom (let us call E.S.P.) disappears with Bach Remedies we

can then certainly say that it is a symptom of disease and not a 'super health'.

 

Case: Mr. Narayanan could tell the number of the currency note in the pocket of

the person standing before him. (This is called as Extra Sensory Perceptive

Power). Mr. Narayanan was also suffering from periodical occurrence of abdominal

pain which no doctor could cure. The Bach Remedy White Chestnut is for

periodically appearing complaints. This was prescribed for him and apart from

curing his colic, his faculty of telling currency note number also disappeared.

 

From this we deduce that E.S.P. is not a symptom of extra or super health but a

symptom of disease only.

 

It is not our 'theory' when we say that E.S.P. is a symptom of disease, but in

these so-called ESP powers the patient was invariably having the symptoms of the

Bach Remedy White Chestnut (vague sensation or periodically appearing

complaints) and even without our knowing that the patient was having ESP powers

when we prescribed White Chestnut and when his bodily complaints got cured,

simultaneously his ESP powers too vanished.

 

For Professionals in various walks of life who guide people at large under their

leadership :

 

There are certain Bach Remedies which can be said almost specifics or tonics for

the abovesaid persons. They are required to possess the following

characteristics:-

 

(i) thorough in their subject they are dealing with; for this, the Bach

Remedy Chestnutbud would help everyone master their subjects quickly, thoroughly

and deeply;

 

(ii) good in communication. You should not only be able to deliver messages

but also equally be alert to receive good things from whatever quarter they may

come. Heather is the Bach remedy to improve upon ourselves where ‘talking’ or

‘speech’ is involved;

 

(iii) each one under you may be having some problem/difficulty and the cause

would be different from one another; so also, you cannot tackle one and the same

problems of many persons in a stereotyped manner. This is because no two

individuals are alike. One man's meat is another man’s poison. This is otherwise

called D. D. in medicine (Diagnosis & Differential Diagnosis). Cerato helps you

to manourve this. It is an excellent P.R.O. indeed! Variety, dept., filing

system, enquiry counter, information bureau, vocational guidance are the words

to describe the uses of this Bach remedy Cerato;

 

(iv) able to handle and steer each person so as to bring the best in each

individual. The poor negative Elm-type Personnel or Factory Manager wrongly

thinks that all he has to do is to extract eight hours work from his

subordinates. No! Not necessarily so. Each person would be having in him a

unique talent which, if the Manager can bring out and make use of, the

organisation would grow up speedily and reach the top. Thus, not only the

organisation earns more but the worker is also rewarded suitably by way of

double increment, promotion, bonus, incentives etc. It is a two-way relationship

and not merely treating them as bonded labour. (It is said, there is something

in air in America which would bring out the best in each individual. That is why

America has become No.1)

 

If any person (dealing with public at large or a group of person or community or

citizens) daily takes the above four Bach flower remedies viz., Elm,

Chestnutbud, Cerato and Heather, daily one dose (say, after breakfast) he would

become No.1 in his field and thus admired by all. Soon Awards, Rewards, etc.

would knock his door.

 

This is the only way to make our colleges in Chennai known at international

level like the Cambridge. Ye Indians! Awake! arise! the hour is late, the hour

is late! The time has come!

 

 

 

Routine uses of BACH REMEDIES in DAY-TO-DAY LIFE

by those who have attended our 5-day PERSONAL COURSE

 

CHERRY PLUM: Unbearable thirst, unbearable pain making the sufferer weep or

scream with pain. Suicidal disposition. Mind giving way. Fear of loss of reason.

Violent anger. In hot summer before going out in the sun, a dose of Cherry Plum

taken orally, enables us to bear the heat and so soft drinks are not needed.

 

Irresistible temptation: Unable to observe diet restrictions and cannot observe

fasting.

 

CHESTNUTBUD: If the maidservant had stolen anything in your house, give a few

pills in her tea/coffee and open the topic and she accepts the theft.

 

Marking time and shirking responsibility (Escapist mentality): If the

maidservant/subordinates are not doing their duties properly give them daily one

dose Chestnutbud and they do the work well.

 

Chestnutbud is very good to learn any subject thoroughly and fully.

 

CHICORY: Before going out for shopping if we take a dose, we automatically avoid

useless purchases. Also a greedy shopkeeper won't cheat us.

 

GORSE: To get a berth in long distance train journey at short notice when prior

reservation is not possible, buy an ordinary ticket, take a dose of Gorse and

get into the reserve compartment. When the T.T.E. comes he talks politely and

allots a berth to you, available due to last minute reservation. You may say

that last-minute cancelled berths would be made available to a few persons. But

what if twelve persons go to the railway station and take Gorse? In such a case

the Rly. People would attach one more compartment. Try that. That is what

happened in the case of Dr. L. Ramamurthy, MBBS, D.Ortho.

 

MIMULUS: In Chennai city the publics are afraid of engaging auto because the

drivers always misbehave and fleece the customer. Before engaging an auto, take

a dose of the Bach remedy Mimulus and the auto man talks politely and does not

overcharge.

 

Fear of going to the dentist. There are persons who avoid or postpone open-heart

surgery due to fear and if they take Mimulus they undergo surgery.

 

OLIVE: Tiredness from over-exertion. When you go on tour you have to carry

heavy luggage. Start taking this remedy a day in advance daily 1-2 dose and you

do not feel the strain.

 

RED CHESTNUT, ROCK ROSE, Sweet chestnut and GORSE: When someone near and dear

to your heart is admitted in the Intensive Care unit in a hospital, you may take

a dose of these four remedies every four hours and however critical the

condition of the patient may be, he shows rapid improvement much to the surprise

of the attending doctors and the patient is sent to the wards in two days. In

the next two days he is discharged and comes home.

 

RESCUE REMEDY: Just one single dose (2 pills) given anytime within two hours of

major surgery prevents 150 to 200 ml loss of blood, the wound heals so rapidly

and the patient recovers speedily, according to Dr. Madanagopal, MBBS, D.A.,

Anaesthetist, Palani. After open-heart surgery the patient is kept in the

Intensive Care Unit for 4-5 days and even more, and then sent to the wards. But

in cases wherever we gave one single dose of Rescue Remedy anytime within two

hours before surgery, the patient improves so speedily and he is sent to the

wards in two days.

 

RED CHESTNUT: The child is late in the evening in coming home. A dose of this

remedy taken by the anxious parent, makes the child return quickly and safely.

 

When we take a seriously ill patient (our relative or close friend) to a doctor,

if we take on ourselves a dose of Red Chestnut and Gorse, we get the right

doctor who quickly does all the needful.

 

RED CHESTNUT, ROCK WATER, ROCK ROSE, GORSE: Your child is kidnapped for money;

or, your close relative/friend is kept as a hostage inside the aircraft that is

being hijacked. Now, you take a dose of these four remedies on yourself every

2-4 hours and soon (may be in 8-24 hours), your relative alone is released by

the hijackers. In case of kidnapping the child returns safely without your

paying any ransom.

 

ROCK WATER: If you are kidnapped for money or if you are travelling in an

aircraft that is being hijacked, take a dose of Rock Water and soon you are

relased. You alone are released. Suppose you give this remedy to your

co-travellers all those who have taken this remedy would be released by the

hijackers.

 

Suppose the senior police officials in hunt for the forest brigand Veerappan in

Karnataka forest take a dose of Rock Water 2-3 times daily, in 1-3 days

Veerappan would surrender to them unconditionally.

 

SWEET CHESTNUT: Take a dose before prayer and your prayers are answered. If you

have to bless anybody, before blessing them take a dose; your blessings come

true. In terminal illnesses and mercy killing cases where doctors say that they

cannot do any more, this is a boon to the patient. Also relatives should take a

dose twice daily .

 

WALNUT: During tours take a dose daily once and you do not get fever, cold or

diarrhoea caused by change of food, water or climate. That group of 50-100

persons who go on North India tour from Chennai would invariably take a doctor

also with them. Some cases become serious needing hospitalisation. In each

conducted tour all persons do not successfully complete the trip. But if all of

them take Walnut daily once, no need for a doctor for complaints arising from

change of food, water or climate.

 

WILD ROSE: Power (electricity) goes off. Telephone becomes dead. Or, you don't

get sufficient water through metro water pipes. No need to complain to anybody.

Take a dose of Wild Rose and in twenty minutes power supply is restored; the

telephone starts working. In case of deficient or nil water supply take Chicory,

Gorse along with Wild Rose together daily 1-2 times and in a day you get

sufficient supply. Try this.

 

 

 

‘Prevention is better than cure’ so tells a saying. This applies in toto to

this system. But, here, we don’t find preventive for polio, another preventive

for hepatitis B, yet another for AIDS etc. But Bach Remedies are for prevention

of all diseases; not only this. More particularly, prevention of problems in

life, call it financial, domestic disharmony, interpersonal clash in the family

or work place, or even spiritual questions.

 

In fact, Bach Remedies give true answer or solution to problems concerning human

life on earth.

 

I shall now illustrate how this is being done:

 

Let us first of all, take the case of addicts—chain- smoking, or drinking liquor

daily in large quantity, or taking several cups of coffee or tea, pan parag,

ganja, hashish etc.

 

All of you might have heard of or read about de-addiction centres. To cure

alcoholism, allopathic doctors give certain drugs for a course of 1-2 weeks and

after this treatment is over, the person does not take liquor even when offered

to him. The relatives of the addict are greatly satisfied. But, after coming out

of the de-addiction centre, as the side-effects of the drugs, he becomes dull,

stupid, lazy, lethargic, indifferent etc. (and not active as he used to be

before.) After a few months, he starts consuming double the quantity of liquor!

Be that as it may.

 

In the system of Bach Remedies, the name of the remedy to cure addictions is

Walnut. This is given two pills for a dose, chewable, any time, 2-3 times daily.

After a few weeks he stops drinking (without becoming lazy, dull, or lethargic

as in the case of allopathic treatment mentioned above.)

 

Even after the addict completely stops the liquor, we do not stop the remedy

(Walnut.) This is because we have to find out the reason for his having become a

victim to alcohol.

 

After he stops liquor, we reduce the dosage of the flower remedy Walnut, say one

dose once in one or two days and we continue to observe him. After a few months

he starts learning instrumental music, say, violin or flute.

 

Let us now consider what ‘learning of instrumental music’ has to do with

‘addictions.’

 

In chain-smoking or drinking liquor, the person does one and the same thing

daily and repeatedly. (Let us call this ‘A’)

 

In learning instrumental music (and, after becoming an expert in it, when giving

performances in the stages to the audience of music lovers), one does the same

thing repeatedly, over and over again. (Let us call this ‘B’)

 

In ‘A’, it is loss of money and health;

 

In ‘B’, he earns more money, say a few thousand rupees for every 2-3 hours

performance compared to his formerly earning a few thousand rupees once a month

only (after working for thirty days in his office.) Moreover, music is sweet to

listen; it is said that music even cures diseases.

 

In Bach Remedies system we call the above ‘A’ as ‘negative’ and ‘B’ as

‘positive.’

 

In our clinical practice wherever this remedy Walnut cured addicts (be it ganja,

pan parag, taking several cups of coffee or tea, chain-smoking, liquor etc.) we

continue to give the remedy and they soon start learning instrumental music.

 

We call these persons ‘Walnut-type.’ Walnut-type persons are those who do a

thing repeatedly over and over again. They cannot keep idle. When we examined

the childhood life of these persons (addicts), they were reported to have

frequently used the word ‘boring’ ‘bore’ etc.

 

So, whenever a child or student uses the word ‘boring’ quite often, the parents

should send him or her to instrumental music class. If they do not do this, the

possibility is that the child may get hooked to drugs etc.

 

Thus, Bach remedies, not only cure diseases, but also turn the person into a

positive type which alone is the permanent solution to prevent addictions or for

that matter, diseases. Therefore, Bach Remedies alone can be said to be a true

medical system.

 

Let us now learn about the remedies one by one.

 

Why do men suffer from Diseases, Problems in Life and insufficient Money?

 

God or Nature has been sending men on earth by classifying them into 38 broad

personality-types, each one to do a 'particular' work.

 

(A) Those doing their work (for which they have been sent on earth)

get no disease (even if they get, it is quickly cured by medicines), develop no

problems in life and as a bonus for doing their " particular' work, get money

several times more than they need/require.

 

Let us call these persons as " positive types''

 

(B) Those who do not do their work (for which they have been sent on

earth) suffer from diseases, difficulties in life and earn money which is hardly

sufficient for all their needs. In fact, God or Nature gives these sufferings

just to remind them of their particular work.

 

Let us call these persons as " negative types.''

 

The work that each one of us has to do is highly individualised (unique); no two

men are alike; so also, no two persons, either living or dead, are to do one and

the same work.

 

The type of work that each one of us has to do - our particular type of

work-cannot be learnt from any school, college or institute.3 Mighty Nature has

already provided an in-built mechanism or I.C. (Intergrated Circuit) unit in our

body to automatically do that work without any previous education or training.

 

3We are not here making outright condemnation of educational institutions. It

is, ofcourse, useful for three percent of population only. But, unfortunately

more than ninety percent are going to educational institutions.

 

For example, Mahatma Gandhi, Mother Theresa and mathematician Shakuntala Devi

simply and merely allowed to play this I.C. unit in each one of them.

 

Ahimsa was the in-build I.C. unit for Mahatma Gandhi; carrying for orphan

children was for Theresa and making calculations faster than the latest computer

was the in-built I.C. unit in the personality of Shakuntala Devi.

 

So also, if you allow your in-built mechanism to play its role, you won't get

disease, problems in life and you will be able to earn money propoortionate to

your requirements or expenses.

 

What are the advantages of being " positive type?''

 

If your or my photograph (both of us are " negative type'') is to be published on

the front cover in any journal, we have to pay in thousands.

 

But the photo of Shakuntala, Mahathma Gandhi and Mother Theresa have been

printed on the front cover in almost all journals, that too more than once,

without their paying any money or even asking for it to be printed.

 

Why is this?

 

That is the effect of being " positive''.

 

" More servants wait on men than he will take notice of,'' so says Ralph Waldo

Emerson in his Essays. That is in respect of " positive type'' persons.

 

Suppose you are taking a 48-day course of ayurvedic medicine to be taken with

cow's milk and in between the course if you have to go out of station; you will

be inquiring whether cow's milk will be available in that new place. Suppose,

someone in that town (on hearing about your visit) buys the best cow, start

feeding it with nutritious feed like almand etc. and on your arrival gives you

milk from that cow daily, will it not be a surprise? This is not a matter of

pure imagination or sheer phantasy.

 

When Mahatma Gandhi or Morarji Desai went to any town/city, the above thing

happened. Because, they were living a positive life.

 

If you want to go Switzerland, you have to stand in the queue before the office

of Swiss embassy or high commission for visa; then you have to look into your

bank balance, make calculations about the return air ticket and go to the travel

agent etc. etc.

 

Suppose someone arranges all these things without your paying any amount? No,

sir, it will not happen in your or my case, so long as we remain as we are

" negative types.''

 

In case of Mother Theresa whenever she decided to go out, everything was

arranged automatically; even the five star hotel won't charge her room rent etc.

because it was a privilege for them to have Mother Theresa as their guest.

 

If you can become positive, in your case too, all the above things would happen.

 

By this, I do not mean to say that you should start caring for orphan children

or follow ahimsa of Gandhi or start learning to do mathematical calculations

quicker than any computer. These individual missions were suitable for each one

of them, respectively, but they are not for me or you.

 

We must find 'our particular' work on earth and do it; then, we too would become

positive type persons.

 

We have said that God has divided men into 38 broad types.

 

So also, to those who are not doing their particular work, mighty Nature is

giving corresponding thirty-eight different kinds of diseases/life's

problems/shortage of money, to remind their work.

 

Again, Nature has also provided 38 different kinds of medicinal flowers in

English forests3 which corresponds to the 38 type personalities.

 

The list on the next page gives 38 types, their positive and negative qualities,

and the corresponding flower remedy.

 

Each one of us can find from the following table, which one of the 38 types we

belong to and also know whether we live positive or negative life.

 

If negative, we may start taking the Bach remedy given against our type. That

remedy would soon not only remove our negative qualities but, at the same time,

enable us to automatically become positive. 'To acquire positive qualities' may

not be a suitable expression. To put it correctly, let us say " Our type remedy

when taken by us, allows us to play the in-build I.C. unit in us.''

 

Cherry Plum

 

Whenever a person weeps, screams or shrieks with pain, or for that matter with

any problem in life, we give this remedy. It not only stops the pain but also

cures the underlying pathological condition that caused the pain. Again, in

those who weep with their financial problems in life, the same remedy

simultaneously enables their mind to find ways and means to earn money to remove

their poverty.

 

We started with treatment of pains and aches, and now take you to solving

problems in life. Because all along we only know that medicine means for

diseases only.

 

In the case of female children who quite often whimper or weep even for petty

things as reported by the mother, we give Bach Remedy Cherry Plum; the child not

only stops weeping but soon asks the parents to permit her to join classes for

vocal music and they learn music very quickly compared to other children.

 

The best time and place when this remedy Cherry Plum is most useful is in cases

of painful childbirth where the expectant mother screams with labor pain when

the mouth of the uterus fail to dilate to allow the child to come into this

world. If you go to the maternity ward and stand outside in the verandah in the

midnight, you can hear the screamings and shrieks that continues for hours.

About three per cent of expectant mothers have terrible pain with undilated os

while the child pushes its head downwards at the time of delivery. The screaming

of the mother is so pathetic to make us think that as if somebody’s neck is

being strangulated. To these mothers we give one single dose (two pills) of the

Bach remedy Cherry Plum and in moments they stop screaming. The remedy is

thereafter repeated every 10-30 minutes and after the second or third dose it is

a safe delivery with bearable pain.

 

Here we must carefully note that Cherry Plum is not a remedy for ‘pain’ or

‘difficult labor,’ but when a patient is screaming or shrieking with pain or

suffering Cherry Plum is indicated, irrespective of the disease from which he or

she is suffering and when given, it cures the underlying pathology also.

 

To the mother who had been shrieking with labor pain, though she gets easy child

birth with a few doses of the remedy Cherry Plum, we continue to give her once

in two days. Why?

 

The point is we have to discover why she had difficult and most painful labor.

Irrespective of her age, after 2-3 months of taking this remedy she starts

learning vocal music and in a year or so she starts performing on the stage,

earning a few thousand rupees for each performance, compared to her formerly

earning a few thousand rupees once in a month by working in an office.

 

Weeping or screaming with labor pain for hours or shrieking with pain in any

disease is ‘negative-type’ of the Bach remedy Cherry Plum. Singing continuously

in high pitch is ‘positive-type.’

 

Thus, we find that in Cherry Plum, voice is involved. Both in negative and

positive Cherry Plum type persons the use of voice comes in, but in entirely

different way:

 

Negative

Positive

 

Screams or shrieks for hours with Uses loud voice continuously that

 

pain or problem in life too in high pitch, i.e.,

vocal music

 

We say that Madonna, Michael Jackson etc. are positive Cherry Plum type persons.

In other words, they have been doing the specific work that suited their

personality or make-up of body and mind. Had these persons not taken to vocal

music, by now they would have developed grave diseases making them weep and

scream with pain.

 

Let us now look at some more Cherry Plum negative type persons (who too would

become No.1 singers after a course of Cherry Plum).

 

1. Those taking more soft drinks every time they go in the hot sun;

(‘unbearable’ thirst)

 

2. Those short-tempered persons who shout and scream in anger.

‘Uncontrollable’ thirst, ‘uncontrollable’ anger, appetite etc. are the symptoms

of Cherry Plum.

 

3. Those who cannot observe diet restrictions. “Irresistible

temptation’’

 

4. Those resorting to suicide to put an end to their pain in abdomen

when the best doctors failed to cure them with their medicines.

 

5. Persons committing suicide because of poverty

 

6. Parents beating their children in anger.

 

7. Teachers and masters beating their students in anger because the

latter is not learning in spite of repeated coaching.

 

By now, the reader would have learnt what we mean by ‘positive’ and ‘negative’

types. We find that there are thirty-eight types of persons only in the world.

If a person is positive, he need not take any Bach remedy. Negative type may

take his respective remedy to become positive. This is the secret of Bach

remedies and that is why it is able to cure gently, quickly and permanently that

too without any side-effects.

 

In the Holy Bible, we find the words “Every man is sent on earth for a

particular purpose.’’ On the other side, in Bhagavat Gita we read “If you do

your duty, I (God) shall supply all your needs.’’

 

Bach Remedies is the only correct system for human beings. With them we can know

what we have to do and what we should not do, so as to have a disease-free,

happy and contented life with all comforts.

 

CHICORY (Bach Remedy to increase your financial position)

 

At the present day, where luxuries have become necessities, every one of us want

more and unlimited money. Hereinbelow we shall discuss Bach remedies for

finance.

 

For those whose earnings by way of monthly salary or income in their profession

is not sufficient for their daily expenses, they have been able to earn

sufficient money by taking the following Bach remedies

 

Chicory - 2 pills (chewable, any time) once only on Sundays & Thursdays

 

Hornbeam - 2 pills as above, on Tuesdays & Saturdays.

 

Good results have been reported within a fortnight to two months.

 

Flower remedies help us to earn sufficient money in the right way, but not in

the way we think or plan or imagine. If this is kept in mind one can get results

with Bach remedies not only for finance but also for all problems in life.

 

Case: Dr. Mouli Abdul, Nagapattinam, reports:

 

“I am a homoeopath and in my town I earn ten to thirty rupees per day. This is

hardly sufficient for anybody’s day to day life. After attending your 2-day

personal course in Bach Remedies, I decided to try them and took one dose of

Chicory on Sundays & Thursdays and Hornbeam on Tuesdays & Saturdays. After

fifteen days it so happened that one Mr. Srinivasan from outstation approached

me with a request to get our local postman introduced to him. This is because he

had heard that I am intimately acquainted with that postman who had been doing

part-time job as real estate agent. (Mr. Srinivasan wanted to buy fifteen acres

of land and so wanted to locate a seller through the postman). I introduced them

to each other and forgot it.

 

Three weeks later that postman came and gave me ten thousand rupees. He asked me

to accept it and when I asked him what for, he replied that he could finalise

the deal regarding purchase of fifteen acres of land for Mr. Srinivasan who was

introduced by me. And Rs.10,000 was the commission he got for the deal. When I

said that he must keep the commission with him, he replied that he got Rs.10,000

from both the parties (seller and buyer) and since I introduced the buyer to

him, out of gratitude he wanted to pay me one side commission of Rs.10,000.

First time in my life I got ten thousands in my hand!”

 

The above homoeopath further reports that while taking Chicory & Hornbeam he

merely thought that he would get more patients in his homoeo practice and thus

he expected more income. But the remedies worked in a different way.

 

This fact must be constantly kept in mind. Flower remedy never fail. It works;

it does work; but not in the way we plan or anticipate. This is more important.

 

In the majority of poverty-stricken patients, we find the mentality of Chicory

or Hornbeam and so we started with these two remedies. There are other remedies

too. If you are able to identify a person with a particular remedy then that

remedy works in a better way.

 

To be more specific, let us learn in a crystal clear and exact manner the words

told by (or reaction of) persons needing various remedies. (Bach Remedies and

Homoeopathy are medical systems where the patient himself tells us or indicates

his remedy to us.)

RESCUE REMEDY

 

Accident? Or, extensive burn or scald by accidentally spilling boiling tea on

the body that makes the victim jump in pain and suffering; that would only mean

running to the doctor, and in spite of that, swelling and bleb formation appears

the next day; being advised not to take bath for seven days and so on and so

forth; cannot go to office for another three days etc. etc.

 

Accidents?... But with Bach remedies, NO PROBLEM!

 

Poison-bite, scorpion sting or snake-bite?. NO PROBLEM!

 

Within five minutes of the accident, if you take two pills of Rescue Remedy,

soon pain comes down dramatically, and there is no swelling, no after-effects.

You are cured permanently, completely and in just five minutes.

 

Throw away the first-aid box.

 

A mixture of five out of the 38 Bach Remedies is called Rescue Remedy.

 

Rescue Remedy is not a panacea for all " " diseases''. Not to be used in diseases

such as arthritis, pain, diabetes, etc.

 

BUT THIS IS ALMOST A SPECIFIC OR PANACEA IN MEDICAL EMERGENCIES arising from

trauma — serious accidents, injuries, burns and scalds, all poison bites,

electric shock, food-poisoning, inhaling poisonous gas etc. The earlier you give

immediately after the accident the better would be the effect.

 

Immediately after any serious or minor accidents, poison-bites, burns, scalds,

etc. it has been the repeated and almost unfailing experience of Bach

practitioners, if two pills of this Rescue Remedy is put into the mouth of the

victim (or dissolve ten pills in half-an-ounce plain water and apply the

solution anywhere on the skin or lips):

 

(a) in less than a minute's time, stops bleeding without any need for

bandage, however long or deep the cut may be;

 

(b) intense pain is reduced to a tolerable limit;

 

© if the victim is unconscious or pulse / breath is imperceptible,

body cold—all these are cured in just a minutes time, so that he walks home as

if nothing has happened (excepting fractures) — the more danger to life, the

quicker the remedy acts.

 

In poison-bites, snake-bites, scorpion-sting, the poison is neutralised.

 

In burns and scalds, bleb formation is prevented. In short, all the

after-effects of accident is prevented and you can use the affected limb the

very next day (excepting fractures).

 

No need to confine oneself to bed for days together, going for dressing daily,

not taking your daily bath (in case of burns and cuts) etc.

 

You are a trauma specialist with Rescue Remedy in your pocket.

 

RESCUE REMEDY is a mixture of five Bach Remedies as follows:

 

Star of Bethlehem ... Removes effects of mental/physical shock

 

Cherry Plum ... Cures all " unbearable'' pain

 

Impatiens ... Cures " restlessness'' which

condition is seen in majority of victims of accidents/poison-bites, burns etc.

 

Rock Rose ... Cures " terror/panic'

 

Clematis ... Victims always think of

immediate/distant future as to what would happen to his affected limb etc. This

remedy covers that symptom.

 

Let us repeat, Rescue Remedy is given in single dose only; (in one per cent of

cases where the relief with the first dose is not complete, you may give 1-2

more doses every 5-15 minutes or 4-8 hours, depending upon the

intensity/seriousness of the trauma).

 

This is NOT TO BE GIVEN DAILY 2-3 doses for ANY 'DISEASES'.

 

When a pedestrian is knocked down seriously and he falls unconscious with

profuse bleeding, police will keep the driver of the vehicle in lock-up till

doctors say that the victim is " out of danger''.

 

But, sir, no need to rush the victim to a hospital (excepting fractures). Put

two pills of Rescue Remedy into his mouth; in a minute, the bleeding stops and

moments later he walks home as if nothing has happened.

 

Unable to believe? To convince yourself you may do the following experiment. In

your garden select two plants with same height. Cut both of them across in the

middle into two; then keeping it back in its original position with a wooden

stick tie with a thread. For one plant only, dissolve ten pills of Rescue Remedy

in one ounce water, soak a little cloth in it and apply it around the cut

portion like a bandage. Don't do this to the second cut plant (which is also

kept in its original position with the help of a small wooden stick and thread.)

 

Next morning you will find the plant (for which you have applied Rescue Remedy)

is alive and the other is dead.

 

Mr. Ashok from Bombay writes: " My 86-year old father went to the urinal and even

after ten minutes he did not return; So I went to see him and was shocked to

find him lying unconscious with profuse bleeding from head; probably slipped and

fell down hitting his head against the tap violently. I carried him to the bed;

I could not know what to do; then I remembered your Rescue Remedy. I put two

pills into his mouth; the body which was icy cold and pulse almost imperceptible

became normal in a minute; soon he opened his eyes. The bleeding too stopped.''

 

Yes, it is an undeniable fact that bleeding stops in a minute with Rescue

Remedy.

 

Mr. Atul from Hyderabad: " Boiling tea accidentally was poured over the face and

chest of my wife. She was crying with pain and was much restless. I immediately

took a few pills of Rescue Remedy but as she did not allow me in her

restlessness to put it into her mouth, I dissolved about ten pills in an ounce

of plain water and threw the solution on her; moments later her restlessness and

crying stopped and the burning pain too was reduced to a greater extent.''

 

Rescue Remedy acts by touching the skin anywhere and it need not necessarily be

taken internally.

 

If you educate your children about the use of this remedy it will go a long way

in helping themselves in emergencies and you will be saving huge amounts and

prevent lot of sufferings.

 

Leela, a ten-year old girl has learnt the use of Rescue Remedy when his father

had successfully used it earlier in accidents. One day a flying bird entered

their house and was hit by the blade of the fast rotating ceiling fan and it

fell down unconscious. Leela took a few pills of Rescue Remedy, dissolved in

little water and sprinkled the solution on the bird; moments later it opened its

eyes, started moving and soon flew away.

 

Wounds heal without leaving a scar.

 

Dr. O. P. Vaid is a retired army captain, living in the first floor of a

multi-storeyed building a few yards away from the busy junction of two highways

in Ring Road in Rajouri Garden in Delhi. Accidents were prone to happen almost

every second or third day (because in 1985 traffic signals were not installed

there); the badly hit victim (mostly a pedestrian or a cyclist) would be brought

to Dr. Vaid being the nearest available doctor. On earlier occasions Dr. Vaid

would give some first aid and send the patient to a hospital. After he learnt

about Rescue Remedy he would take two pills and rub it on the tongue of the

unconscious victim. Bleeding, if any, would stop in a minute, pulse beat would

become normal, the icy cold body would become hot and soon the victim would get

up and walk home as if nothing had happened (excepting fractures).

 

There is no question of the remedy not acting in certain patients or the remedy

showing its effects after a few doses only.

 

Occasionally we read in the dailies that a certain person who was burnt

extensively in a stove accident at home or the victim of a serious road accident

succumbed in the hospital in spite of best treatment. Rescue Remedy, if given

immediately after the accident would have saved such lives.

 

These remedies have no expiry date can be taken while you are on other drugs or

treatment.

Mimulus

 

Fear of known Things

 

On superficial reading and study, most readers think that Bach remedies are for

psychological states only, and that it is not useful or physical maladies; this

is not at all so.

 

It is true that many patients do not come to a doctor for fear, restlessness

etc. They come with physical diseases only. But if we allow (and only if we

allow) the patient to continue his talk he will invariably end up with a mental

symptom.

 

The patient details his sufferings. Those around him remark what they have

observed about him. The practitioner listens without interrupting him.

 

Write this on the wall " Without interrrupting''.

 

Every interruption would only break the train of thought of the narrator, and

all he would have said at first does not again occur to him in precisely the

same manner after that.

 

A lady walked into my clinic telling a history of two months headache ultimately

ended up by saying that she was afraid whether it may be due to brain tumor.

 

I prescribed Mimulus to be taken two pills thrice daily; it cured her headache.

 

Here, this patient walked in with a physical malady viz., headache, but ended up

with fear.

 

Very rare number of cases, wherever a patient does not talk much that in itself

is a symptom called taciturnity and the Bach remedy Agrimony covers it.

 

One must improve his faculty of listening to the patient. That is all what is

required for being a successful practitioner.

 

The talkie-talkie loquacious person will be Number One failure and so is unfit

to practise Bach Remedies. The unprejudiced and careful oberve who simply

listens to the very words coming from the mouth of the sufferer, without

interrupting him, would only wait till he gets what he wants-some words /

phrases calling for a Bach remedy.

 

THE PATIENT HIMSELF TELLS HIS REMEDY

 

The remedy Mimulus is for fear of known cause; fear of anything; shyness,

timidity-fear of death during course of serious acute disease; 'fear of cancer'

and so on.

 

In patients needing for Mimulus, it is about a particular known thing that he is

afraid; the fear may be unwarranted also.

 

Some example are:

 

" Fear of taking an injection'. We call such persons 'nervous types'.

 

" Fear of high places;' " fear of the boss in office.'

 

" Fear of robbers, accidents, examinations'. (For fear of snake see, Rock Rose.)

 

" Fear of electric current' and so is afraid of handling electrically-operated

appliances. We call such persons 'nevous types'.

 

" Fear of darkness' (But, if this is ameliorated in company, then Chicory is the

remedy.)

 

" Fear of using the razor in shaving, of dogs, of oxen.' When he has to go out

and meet a big person, he becomes nervous.

 

To a lady in whose house there were lot of cockroaches of which she was afraid,

*Mimulus* was given thrice daily; after a week she remarked: " " I am not afraid

of cockroaches now...''

 

Some children are afraid of the schoolmaster; some are afraid of a fat person

with long moustache. Fear of father who is always strict and beats his children

often.

 

Whenever a patient tells you of his trouble: " I am afraid it may be cancer'' or

" Will it spread?'' or " Will it terminate in an fatal or incurable disease?''

then, irrespective of the ailment he is referring to, you can give Mimulus. It

not only removes the fear from the mind of such persons but also cures the

disease about which he refers to with fear. " Fear of impending disease'' " fear

of the disease getting worse or terminating fatally'' all need Mimulus. Often we

find this symptom in case of difficult breathing, pain in chest etc.

 

" I had pain in my chest last night. Will it turn into heart attack or will it be

connected with the beginning of any serious heart troubles?'' asked a lady.

Mimulus cured her.

 

Mr. S., sixty, was admitted for cataract surgery. On the day when he was taken

to the theatre he was afraid by looking at the surgical instruments etc. and his

blood pressure shot up; so surgery was postponed and he was given pills to bring

down the blood pressure; next day also the same story was repeated and so on.

Mimulus was given thrice daily and he was no more afraid of surgery and his

blood pressure did not shoot up.

 

Mimulus and Chicory compared : " Fear of going alone in the dark'. May be it is

the thought of ghosts or robbers which gives rise to fear. But, if the person

says that in the company of someone he can go without fear in darkness, then

Chicory is the remedy for him and not Mimulus. Wherever fear is ameliorated in

the company of someone and aggravated while alone, Chicory is to be considered.

 

" I cannot sleep alone in a house. But, if there is one or more persons-even a

small child-for company then I can sleep even in a bungalow haunted by ghosts''.

Chicory is the remedy for this state and no amount of Mimulus will help.

 

Auto fellows in Madras City are just horrible. Every one in afraid of him when

they have to engage an auto. Before engaging auto you may take two pills of

Mimulus; he will talk politely and take us any where we want, without asking for

extra money over meter.

 

A thief is breaking into your house at midnight? Take a dose of Mimulus; when he

looks at you he will flee.

 

CHESTNUTBUD

 

(i) SLOWNESS IN LEARNING

 

(ii) ESCAPIST MENTALITY

 

Children who are slow in learning; more often found in case of school children.

In spite of tuition for each subject by different teachers and coaching by

parents he is getting single digit marks only.

 

We call it " low i.q., (intelligence quotent)'' Slowness in learning is due to

lack of interest and attention. Chestnutbud simply removes lack of interest and

attention; nothing more and nothing else. Thus, " low i.q.'' goes out of

terminology with Bach Remedies.

 

Some readers (and most of us) at once rush to a wrong conclusion that

Chestnutbud will make all boys get good or pass marks. No, not at all. (That

routinism will not be tolerated in this system.) For example, let us listen to

the mother of a boy: " Doctor, my son will get very good marks if only he sits

and studies; but he does not study much; but takes active interest in cricket

and reading novels.''

 

Here in the report of the mother we find that " if he studies well, he would get

good marks.'' But he does not study at all. Laziness is seen here. For laziness

there is another Bach remedy viz., Scleranthus and if Scleranthus is given to

this boy he will sit and study and get good marks.

 

In the case of boys needing Chestnutbud they study well and in spite of studying

for hours and hours they are not able to grasp the lessons.

 

After reading former edition of this book a certain person came and told the

author: " Doctor, my son is getting single digit marks and your remedy did not

help him.''

 

We just asked him what remedy he gave and he replied that he gave Rescue Remedy.

What a folly! Rescue Remedy is not a panacea, but that is what exactly most Bach

practitioners do.

 

For not-so-much intelligent persons Bach Remedies selection is not at all

possible.

 

Let us now see how " slowness in learning'' operates in some persons:

 

In learning cycling. daily there should be gradual progress. But even after ten

days trial there is no progress but what learner got was injuries by falling

down. What would he say next? " I do not want cycling.'' Escapist mentality

indeed. Chestnutbud would make him learn easily.

 

Escapist mentality: Every thief would only try to escape. If all thieves would

come forward and accept their crime, there is no need for police stations and

courts and prising.

 

In police stations proportionate to the torture the culprit gets, to that extent

only he will accept the theft committed by him. But third degree manners,

torture, and lock-up deaths goes out of terminology in Bach Remedies system. To

the suspect, those sub-inspectors who have learnt Bach Remedies system would

give a glass of water after dissolving ten pills of Chestnutbud into it. In a

few minutes time, the thief would himself voluntarily disclose not only the

theft recently committed by him (for which he has been arrested on suspicion)

but all other thefts committed since long time.

 

Chestnutbud is not a truth finding medicine. It simply removes " escapist''

mentality which is undesirable and a disease. When it is removed, he speaks out

truth.

Very good indeed in the hands of C.B.I., income-tax and sales-tax officers. No

need for raids and searches and hour-long interrogation. Dissolve ten pills of

Chestnutbud into the water and
