La vision du Dr Bach
“The physician of the future will need a very wide outlook and understanding. He will be an agent who has closely studied human nature, so that he is able to help and direct his patient.”
Bach, Medicine of the Future in Collected Writings of Edward Bach.
Dr Bach was undoubtedly a visionary. Whilst it can be confronting to read some of these writings, written as they were in another time, with norms that are out of place now; between the lines is a gentleness that could clearly see an alternative way of healing that respected all life.
His approach to healing was always to see the person behind the illness, to really enquire about who they were and where they were suppressing their soul.
Reading his words again today, his holistic vision of medicine brings together skills and qualities held in multiple disciplines. Perhaps this is why he felt that the practitioners of the future would not be scientists. In his later writings, he talked of wanting the power to heal to be in the hands of the patient themselves.
