Flower essence therapy is a form of vibrational therapy. It is a holistic approach that includes body, mind, and spirit. These essences are geared toward the individual and not a particular disease. If the individual is not feeling well, the body is not feeling well. Conventional medicine is geared toward treating the disease whereas alternative treatments focus on the entire being. 

"Disease is the re-action to interferences. This is temporary failure and unhappiness and this occurs when we allow others to interfere with our purpose in life and implant in our minds doubt, or fear, or indifference."

Dr. Bach divided 38 essences into seven groups, representing fundamental conflicts, which he says prevent us from being true to ourselves:

1)    Fear
2)    Uncertainty
3)    Insufficient interesting present circumstances
4)    Loneliness
5)    Over-sensitivity to influences and ideas
6)    Despondency or despair
7)    Over-care for the welfare of others

Just as an example for "fear", this could range from terror, definable or every day fears, fear of losing one's mind, inexplicable fears, or fears of other people. 

Dr. Bach further defined the stages in the healing process: Peace, Hope, Joy, Faith, Certainty, Wisdom, and Love.

Below are some books that I recommend if you are interested in the study of vibrational healing and flower essences:

Flower essences can be used internally (oral) and externally (topical). I like to use Bach Flower and/or Bush Flower Essences in my creams for various emotional states.

I use Rescue Remedy for shock, grief, trauma, stress, for muscle spasms, before and after surgery to release the trauma, or I apply a drop to a paper cut. 

The internal dosage can range from 1-2 drops under the tongue every 15-30 minutes to 4 drops in a small glass of water which is sipped at frequent intervals until relief is obtained. 

When using flower essences in my creams, I use for a 4 oz jar about 5-7 drops of up to 3 different essences.
