Biography
|
Dr Edward Bach (September 24, 1886 - November 27 1936) developed Bach flower remedies, a form of alternative medicine.
Bach grew up in Birmingham, studied medicine at the University College Hospital, London and obtained a Diploma of Public Health (DPH) at Cambridge.
Before turning to alternative therapies, he was a House Surgeon and a casualty medical officer at University College Hospital; he was in charge of 400 beds during World War I; he worked at the National Temperance Hospital and had a successful practice at Harley Street. Later he worked at the London Homeopathic Hospital and he developed seven bacterial nosodes known as the seven Bach nosodes, which received immediate recognition and were used widely throughout North America and Europe by homeopathy practitioners.
In 1930, at the age of 43, he decided to search for a new healing technique. He spent the spring and summer discovering and preparing new herbal remedies, and the winter treating patients for free. He advertised his remedies in two daily newspapers, but the General Medical Council disapproved of his advertising. In 1934, he moved to Mount Vernon in Oxfordshire.
In his treatise Heal Thyself he writes:
"Disease will never be cured or eradicated by present materialistic methods, for the simple reason that disease in its origin is not material . . . Disease is in essence the result of conflict between the Soul and Mind and will never be eradicated except by spiritual and mental effort."
He died at the age of 50 on the evening of November 27th, 1936.
