My "problem" is: I wanted to make three different Bach Flower mixes. Each mix would probably contain 6 or 7 bach flowers. Since it would be my first try with bach flower essences and I don't know if this will work for us or is right for us , I don't want to buy the approx. 20 stock bottles with the single remedies (and for the mix I would only need 4 drops of each remedy). This would be very expensive, until I don't know if this is something I would like to continue or not.
Do You know what I mean?
Thats why I thought I might find someone who has the whole set or a lot of the remedies and can make me a blend - I would pay for it of course. If someone is interested :) ?!? , let me know
What experience do you made with BF? Did it work for you? Do you like it?

You are welcome to whichever ones you need for making a mixture. I think the limit is 5 remedies, though. It is hard to choose just five. LOL But, I've always heard you can't mix more than that, I believe.
What a great idea to mix your own from a central source. Maybe we could do that as a monthly event!!
The Rescue Remedy has a mix of five different remedies (Cherry Plum, Clematis, Impatiens, Rock Rose and Star of Bethlehem) which together help deal with any emergency or stressful event. So, I'd probably select 5 different ones for a personal mixture, and just buy the Rescue Remedy to have on hand, also.
Have you ordered the empty stock bottle? And I'm curious if you were going to use brandy as the preservative? We could maybe order a bulk buy of bottles, as the shipping gets kinda expensive.
I LOVE Rescue Remedy, and Elm and White Chestnut. And Hornbeam helps me to clean the house. ;-)
I haven't ordered empty stock bottles yet..... yes, maybe we can order a bulk buy together.
I have a lot of books here at home about Bach Flowers (but all are in German :) ). And they usually suggest a maximum of 7 or 8 remedies in one mixture. But there are different opinions in this, different theories - some even mix up to 18 in one mixture. I think for me 6, 7 or 8 different ones would be what I do (and that is what the pharmacy in Germany would do - in Germany you can get your personal blend form every pharmacy! I wish that would be that easy here too :) ).
I think I will use apple cider vinegar instead of brandy as preservative, since I will make some for my children.
That would be great if we could mix something together - and as I said, I will pay for it of course!
Which ones of the single BF do you have?
And were do you live - hopefully not too far away :) ?
You can send me a private message, if you want (or is this not possible here on this board ?- I am a newbie here).
