Frequently asked questions
Bach flower essences, known as Bach drops, are natural products developed by the British physician Dr Edward Bach in the 1930s. They are made from extracts of flowers and plants and help harmonise negative emotions such as fear, stress, indecision, sadness and so on. They are not addictive and are suitable for children, adults and animals. You cannot overdose on Bach drops. If you accidentally take more drops, nothing happens.
To achieve real results, regular and consistent use is essential. Do not skip doses and follow the minimum daily dosage:
Dropper: 4× a day, 4 drops
Spray: 4× a day, 2 sprays
The recommended duration of use is 3 months, especially for deeper or longer-standing emotional difficulties where inner blocks need to be released. For less serious states, the duration of use may be shorter – according to individual need. In more demanding cases, we also recommend increased dosing – 6× to 8× a day.
Crisis drops SOS and Calm Sleep SOS can be taken as needed, even repeatedly every 5 minutes until relief is felt.
⚠️ Note for the dropper: When dispensing, please take care that the dropper does not touch the tongue or mouth — this prevents the transfer of bacteria into the bottle and keeps the drops fresh for longer.
Yes, we offer a variant preserved with vegetable glycerol, which is suitable for pregnant and breastfeeding women. However, we recommend consulting everything with your doctor or midwife before use.
Yes, children can also take Bach drops. They help them cope with emotions such as fear, uncertainty, sadness or changes at nursery or school. For children, we recommend the variant preserved with vegetable glycerol.
Yes, the basic essences naturally contain a small amount of alcohol, which arises during the production of the mother tinctures. For the final preservation into drops, we add a little spirit or vegetable glycerine. The glycerine variant is more suitable, especially for children, pregnant and breastfeeding women, or animals.
In the case of the alcohol variant, the alcohol content is truly minimal – a daily dose of drops corresponds to roughly 1 ml of total solution, which represents a completely negligible amount of alcohol. Such an amount cannot be detected on the breath and is not detectable by common tests, for example during a roadside check. However, we recommend verifying this individually, especially before driving a motor vehicle.
If for any reason you prefer drops without final preservation with alcohol, we recommend choosing the glycerine variant. In the case of health restrictions, we recommend consulting your doctor about use.
Due to the trace amount of alcohol, Bach drops must not be used while taking medication for which alcohol is contraindicated, in particular: disulfiram (Antabuse), metronidazole (e.g. Entizol) or tinidazole (e.g. Fasigyn).
No. The essences support emotional balance but do not replace medication prescribed by a doctor. They can, however, complement it.
The essences are always chosen according to what you are currently experiencing and what is emotionally weighing on you. For each essence you will find a description of the emotions it helps with. If you are not sure, we will be happy to advise you with your selection.
You can safely combine Crisis drops SOS with both the Tailor-made Bach drops and the Specific drops, and we often even recommend this combination. The Tailor-made drops and the Specific drops can also be combined with the Calm Sleep SOS product.
However, we do not recommend taking the Specific drops and the Tailor-made Bach drops at the same time, as their effects may overlap and their effectiveness may be reduced.
Store the drops in a cool, dark place, away from direct sunlight and sources of heat. Protect from frost. Storing the drops in the fridge is fine.
To preserve the quality of the product, we do not recommend delivery to a Z-Box at temperatures above 20 °C or below 3 °C.
Yes, this can happen, but it is rather rare. In some people, feelings that have been long suppressed or that relate to a deeper emotional wound may gently intensify at the start. This is a natural part of the cleansing process, when emotions begin to be released. It is usually only a short-term phenomenon.
Bach drops do not have classic side effects. They are natural flower essences that act on a subtle emotional level. An allergic reaction is very rare; you can find out more directly at the Bach Centre. If you know that you are sensitive to alcohol or vegetable glycerol, choose the variant with the preservative that is more suitable for you.
