The formula was developed by Dr. Eduard Bach back in the 1930’s, and is sold under the Doctor Artemis brand of supplements. Dr. Bach was a reputable British doctor who became interested in homeopathy and alternative therapies in the 1920’s. The reason he turned to this type of medicine was his belief that disease is an external expression of disharmony between the mind and the body which led to emotional stress, and eventually to a physical manifestation of the illness. Dr. Bach developed various herbal remedies which he used to treat his patients. The 38 formulas discovered by the reputable doctor are still used nowadays as natural, non-invasive ways to treat various illnesses. There is also a Bach foundation offering education on the Bach Flower Remedies. All the information about the remedies and their availability are available on the official site of the foundation.

This is what the brain must have to function properly.

Herbs are not necessarily bad but herbal extracts alone are not able to penetrate the brain-blood barrier, and they cannot deliver the essential nutrients directly into the brain.
