The Twelve Healers
The Twelve Healers are the type essences. They describe your essential nature or “remedy type” - for example how we behave when ill, what we are like under pressure, what qualities we admire or dislike in others. Essence descriptions will show you the relationship between your true nature and the core characteristics of the individual essence.
The Seven Helpers
The Seven Helpers are the essences to be selected for long term emotional states like hopelessness or lack of direction. These are the support essences, most often used in combination with a Bach flower from the Twelve Healers.
The Second Nineteen
The Second Nineteen are the essences to be selected for emotional responses. They help us to develop greater inner strength and fortitude and bring out our best qualities.
The Seven Emotional Groups
Dr Bach grouped the 38 flower remedies into seven emotional groups based around feelings such as loneliness, despair or uncertainty. Looking within each group, detailed essence properties will allow you to choose the right essence for your emotional response.
