There has been no definitive study, or indeed discovery, of any active ingredient in the remedies, but Ball maintains that there is "a subtle energy at work that has not yet been identified but that is shown to have an effect on mood. The essences are vibrational, like music acting to rebalance the vibrational state of those who take them.
The nature of self-diagnosis is such, however, that it is difficult to prove whether the remedies have anything other than a placebo effect. The idea that certain flowers have healing properties is not a new one, but what Bach did so well was closely to define the negative human mood - that is, the worries we all live with - thereby encouraging self-diagnosis and self-help.
When you see somebody lingering in front of the remedies in a health-food shop or pharmacy, what they are really trying to do is to work out just what is wrong with them.
That process of deciding whether your particular ailment is best described as "daydreaming and a lack of interest in the present" you should take clematis , "living in the past, feeling homesick or nostalgic" honeysuckle or "unwanted thoughts, preoccupations and worries" white chestnut is, in fact, an integral part of the cure.
Since the essences are so diluted, there is little possibility of their being harmful, either - the only potential danger might be that waiting for a remedy to work could discourage some people from consulting their doctor on serious mental and physical problems.

The Essences called Remedies in Bach's native England are not designed to treat medical issues per se, but rather to treat emotional ailments, like stress, anxiety, or self-consciousness. In this way, the flower essences are similar to other forms of natural healing designed to work in tandem with the body's energy flow, like reiki and crystals.
While each flower treats a specific negative emotion—from anger and jealousy to sadness and grief—by combining up to six or seven different flowers, you can create a personalized flower essence to treat everything that's skewing your emotional balance at the moment. This is a key part of flower medicine: These essences are designed to treat what is bothering you at a specific time.
The biggest question then, before using flower medicine, to ask yourself is how you feel, why you feel it, and what you would like fixed. But if this still sounds confusing to you, don't worry. Although you can work within the system yourself, and buy Bach's Essences online or at places like Whole Foods, you can also work with a certified Bach Flower Essence Practitioner to help make the process easier.
