Contrary to popular belief, Bach flower remedies are not homeopathic. It is true that both types of medicines are diluted and do not create side effects. Homeopathy and Bach flower essences are both diluted but a completely different way. Flower essences are diluted by the method of sun for a few species. For plants that bloom when there is limited sunlight, these remedies are diluted by boiling method. Bach does not follow the laws of similarity or homeopathic dilutions. Bach flowers try to create a positive energy to cancel a negative energy.

In the method of sun, flowers are placed in a container with fresh water. The container is left in the sun for several hours. Bach believes that the sun's rays would transfer energy to the medicine . After the flowers are taken out of the water, they are placed in a container. Alcohol is added to preserve the flower. An equal amount of water is also added to dilute the remedy. The final product is a liquid fuel made from flowers. The dilutions can also be made in a cream or spray.

In the method of boiling, flower essences are put into a pot of water. They are boiled in water. The remedies are boiled several times with water being replenished after each boiling interval. After several boiling intervals, the remedy is mixed with an equal amount of alcohol and water. The boiling method is necessary due to the fact that many flowers bloom when the sun does not shine. It's really the only way to create the essence without the sun.
