Ainsworths Bach Flower Remedies are made by Tony Pinkus, pharmacist director of Ainsworths, using wild, indigenous species of plants, shrubs, and trees growing in unspoilt areas of the UK.

Yes the alcohol content is minimal if used according to the dosage instructions given e.g. 4 drops x 4 times per day.

Your Bach Remedy is preserved in alcohol so the smell and the taste is characteristic of brandy.

Bach himself used pure brandy with an alcohol content of 36–40%. The higher the percentage, the longer lasting the remedy. Nelson's used 27% alcohol by diluting the brandy with water. Ainsworths follows Bach's recommended dilution of two drops of mother essence per ounce (30mL) of brandy, resulting in a 1:240 dilution at 40% alcohol — closely following Bach's original instructions.

Yes.

It is best to continue your Bach Flower remedy four times per day, for several weeks, or at least until you start to feel more balanced. You will not overdose on Bach Flowers and can continue to take as needed. If emotional strain is persistent, seek advice from your healthcare practitioner.

Combine 2 drops of each stock bottle into a 25mL bottle of distilled/ purified water. You can add 15-20% brandy for preserving the water. It is possible that more than one remedy may be suitable for your case; if so, you can combine up to 6 or 7 remedies if necessary.

There are no known issues with our products and taking medications, however, it’s important that your doctor is aware of everything you are taking, so please let them know when you next visit.
Alcohol: If you are taking a prescription medicine, which is specifically contraindicated with alcohol, it is best to refer to your GP before taking Bach flower remedies, or consider our Rest&Quiet range for alcohol free remedies.
