Bach ("Batch") flower remedies are very diluted preparations of different species of wildflowers. They were created by Dr. Edward Bach in the 1930s.
Bach flower remedies are often so diluted that they contain little or no detectable amounts of active ingredients. Similar to homeopathic preparations, they aren't expected to have beneficial drug-like effects or safety concerns. There are 38 different remedies.
People use Bach flower remedies for anxiety, depression, ADHD, pain, and many other conditions, but there is no good scientific evidence to support these uses.
Don't confuse Bach flower remedies with homeopathy. Bach flower remedies are sometimes called homeopathic products because they are diluted like homeopathic remedies, but they aren't based on the same principles.
