Homeopathy vs. Bach flower therapy

How are homeopathy and the Bach flower therapy and remedies related

Dr. Edward Bach (1886-1936) was hired at the London homoeopathic hospital as bacteriologist and pathologist and became inspired by the teachings of Hahnemann about homeopathy, especially the thought not to heal the disease, but the diseased.  He developed the seven Bach Nosodes. But his breakthrough came when he used (just) flowers and used them with a new kind of preparing in using fresh dew exposed to the sun. The combination of flowers and preparing unleash a special effect; mood and state of mind are positively affected. His 38 flowers, the Bach flower remedies or Bach Flower essences:

Agrimony, Aspen, Beech, Centaury, Cerato, Cherry Plum, Chestnut Bud, Chicory, Clematis vitalba, Crab Apple, Elm, Gentian, Gorse, Heather, Holly, Honeysuckle, Hornbeam, Impatiens, Larch, Mimulus, Mustard, Oak, Olive, Pine, Red Chestnut, Rock Rose, Rock Water, Scleranthus, Star of Bethlehem, Sweet Chestnut, Vervain, Vine, Walnut, Water Violet, White Chestnut, Wild Oat, Wild Rose, Willow

Some of those flowers or remedies are also known in homeopathy such as Agrimony and Clematis. Because homeopathy often works actually with the same way an essence is mostly extracted namely by signature, homeopathy and Bach flower therapy can easily combined by a therapist. Out of our empirics we advice NOT to combine the remedies however, as is usually advised, because we conclude the remedies do influence one another; it could be better to wait for each cure when a new indication appears, or when someone does combine the therapies to reduce the frequency of the Bach flower remedy take.
