How are Bach Flower Essences created?

In most cases, the fresh flowers are put into a bowl of water and allowed to sit in the sun for several hours. The water imbued with healing power is used as medicine. Remember that water is "humble" that way: it picks up the vibration of whatever it comes in contact with... I wrote about this phenomena in The Science of Homeopathy, because the same logic applies to homeopathic remedies - and it's exactly the reason why they are so efficient!
