How to use the Bach Flower Remedies
How do I know which remedies to take?
Think of how you are feeling emotionally right now at this present moment in time. Then take the remedy or remedies that correspond to those feelings. Do not put in consideration how you felt in the past or yesterday or perhaps how you think you will feel tomorrow. Also do not take a particular remedy ‘just in case’ as it may not work.
What is the dosage?
For immediate use for passing moods, simply take two drops of any remedy (four drops of Rescue Remedy) of your choice from a stock bottle either by mouth (above or below the tongue) or in a glass of water. Refrain from touching the dropper with your tongue. The maximum number of remedies at one time is seven.
For longer-term use make up a personal remedy mix
For the following it is two drops from the stock bottle, or four drops from a mixing bottle and/or Rescue Remedy. The remedies are not affected by taste or smell and can be taken in any hot or cold beverage of your choice.
The remedies can be taken as often as needed, and there is no chance of over-dosing. If they are not needed they will not work or you will simply forget to take them.
