Buckflower remedies in homeopathy. Buckflower remedies are a system of 38 flower essences
developed by Dr. Edward Buck, an English physician and homeopath in the 1930s.
Unlike traditional homeopathy, which focuses on physical symptoms,
buckflower remedies aim to address emotional and mental imbalances.
These remedies are derived from the flowers of plants and trees, prepared through sun infusional
boiling methods and are believed to restore emotional equilibrium, which in turn promotes
physical health. Each buckflower remedy is associated with a specific emotional state
or personality type. Below is a brief explanation of each remedy.

suppress emotions, often leading to inner restlessness and anxiety.
