You use Bach essences for a long time already, but did you ever wonder how they are made? Preparing the mother tincture (which is in fact the pure Bach essence without preservation) is a three step process.

The first step means preparing the tincture from the plants. Different plant parts are used for different essences. These are either leaves, or flower heads, or just petals. Then they are mixed with the natural spring water. The subsequent preparation is performed with either Sun or Boiling Methods. These methods were described by Dr. Bach in the 1930s and haven’t changed badly since then.

Dr. Bach used the Sun Method to prepare 20 of the 38 remedies. The Boiling Method was used for the rest.
The Sun Method is supposed to be preferable for the delicate flowers which bloom in the middle of summer. The flower heads are put into the spring water in the huge glass vessel and it is left in full sunshine for about three hours. When lots of remedies are required or there are many flowers to be used in them, there might be up to seven bowls left in the sun. There are flowers which are in bloom for several days only and therefore there isn’t much time to gather them and prepare the remedies.

The Boiling Method is generally used to prepare the remedies from trees, bushes and other plants which bloom or are ready to be used for the essences in the early spring. They are picked, then mixed with the spring water and boiled. The vessel with them is then left outdoors to cool the liquid.

The second step is removing the plants from the water. After using one of the methods it is thought to be full with the plant energy. In this step it is filtered and preserved. The preservation means that the received tincture is mixed with the same number of pure tipple (e.g. 40% proof brandy), thus the proportion is one to one. This mixture is actually the Mother Tincture. The alcohol is not an active component. It is used for preservation purposes only and doesn’t have any impact on the healing properties of the remedy.
The third step is delivering the tincture to the stores. The mother tincture is bottled in one of the plants. Each bottle contains the tincture itself and about a third of tipple to preserve its properties. This mixture is actually the Bach essence you can buy in one of the appropriate shops. The stock bottles are packed in the plant, tested for security and quality, marked and sent to the stores and shops all over the world.

The original Back flower remedies are made in UK and then spread all over the world. Thus, you can make sure you use the essences prepared according to Dr. Bach instructions by checking the security marks and the manufacturing country. The Bach signature is one of the quality signs.

What’s most necessary for making a fitness program more effective is establishing a certain number of trainings every week. It is considered that the minimum number of trainings is two (anaerobic) and three (aerobic) every week. If they are combined, their number can be reduced to three trainings a week (two combined and one aerobic).

Obviously, an increase in the number of weekly trainings brings better and more rapid results. Their maximum number would be four force trainings (anaerobic) and six resistance trainings (aerobic). Doing less than the minimum of training could lead to erasing of information and getting out of shape. Training more than the maximum indicated could bring with it the risk of over-training, of physical overwork.

One of the roles of the fitness trainer is to individualize the frequency of the programs, in order to find the best periodicity for every person involved in training.

Another factor that can increase the effectiveness of a training program is performing the exercises correctly. Wrong technique will quickly determine worse results, even if the program which includes those exercises is well conceived, organized in time and personalized.

Besides lack of good results, the person who didn’t acquire good training technique exposes himself to the risk of sometimes very bad accidents ( hernia, stroke, etc.).

The movements a person learns must get to be mastered and performed automatically, the same as the technique of breathing which accompany them. This way, the sportsman will save mental energy that he can use for getting the right intensity, focusing on the muscle towards which a particular exercise is directed, forced repetitions of movements, etc.

Any new exercise require patience and time in order to be correctly assimilated and introduced in the set of exercises mastered by any sportsman.

Besides a well-balanced diet (carbohydrates, proteins, lipids – 4:1:1 – the proportion in grams per kilogram of food principles), hydrating must be given special care. Good hydrating of the body has as a result the increase of the efficiency of a fitness program. The body must be carefully hydrated before, during and after training.

The sensation of thirst must not be experienced – this would only be a late signal of dehydration. The types of liquids that can be used can and should vary a lot: mineral water, plant teas, fruit, fresh juice, isotonic drinks, energizers, etc.

Be also careful with the drinks that fasten dehydration. This category of liquids includes drinks which contain caffeine or alcohol. They forcedly increase dieresis, fastening dehydration, which is also naturally determined by the training (especially by aerobic training).

Another factor that must be considered is biorhythm, which is specific to each person. The training must thus be placed at the time of maximum physical efficiency, time which is directly related to the increase of the body temperature.
