For more than 70 years, these floral extracts, also known as floral elixirs, have proven their benefits for all kinds of emotional problems in children as well as adults. But what are these Bach flowers really, how to choose them and especially how to use them? Follow the advice of your pharmacist to enjoy all the benefits of these Bach Flowers daily.
