Your Questions Answered
-
Think of them as emotional support, bottled.
AKOS Remedies are modern flower essence formulas inspired by the work of Dr Edward Bach, a physician and bacteriologist who developed a system of 38 flower remedies in the 1930s, based on the belief that different flowers could support different emotional states.
Each AKOS formula brings together a considered selection of flower essences around how you’re feeling; from overthinking and self-doubt to exhaustion, worry and overwhelm.
AKOS takes Bach’s original philosophy and makes it relevant to life now.
-
Follow the daily ritual of 4 drops, 4 times a day for 30 days.
Add the remedy to your drinks or place directly on your tongue.
Take the remedy more often during emotionally demanding times.
-
Your remedy will last around 30 days when taken 4+ times a day.
We recommend using your chosen remedy consistently for around 30 days, giving yourself time to settle into the daily ritual and notice any changes in how you feel.
After 30 days, you might feel ready to move on to a different remedy, decide that your current one still feels right for you, or simply feel that AKOS has done its job for now.
-
The time it takes for the remedies to work can vary from person to person, depending on individual circumstances.
For sudden, intense emotions—like a panic attack or shock—you might feel immediate relief after taking the SOS remedy, frequently over ten to thirty minutes.
For deeply rooted emotional states, it could take several days or even weeks to notice a difference. Interestingly, those around you may pick up on changes in your demeanour much sooner.
The effects can be subtle — sometimes you simply notice that the feelings that brought you to the remedy don’t feel quite as strong as they did before.
-
AKOS remedies are designed to offer gentle emotional support and are non-habit forming.
They can be used as part of your everyday wellbeing routine, including alongside conventional healthcare. If you're pregnant, breastfeeding, giving a remedy to a child, taking medication or have any concerns about whether an ingredient is suitable for you, we'd always recommend checking with your doctor or pharmacist first.
AKOS Remedies are for emotional support — never as a replacement for medical advice or treatment.
-
AKOS remedies don’t treat physical symptoms or medical conditions. They look after the emotional side of things.
Illness, discomfort, recovery and ongoing health concerns can bring their own emotional challenges — worry, fear, frustration, low mood or simply feeling overwhelmed. AKOS is designed to offer gentle emotional support through those moments.
They’re there to support how you feel, not to replace medical advice or treatment.
-
Start with how you’re feeling right now. Think about what’s been bothering you, what keeps coming up, or what feels most difficult at the moment.
Browse the Remedy Guide and choose the formula that most closely reflects how you feel. If more than one sounds like you, start with the feeling that feels most present right now.
And don't overthink it — if how you're feeling changes, your remedy can change with you.
-
Choose one Core remedy at a time — the one that most closely reflects how you’re feeling right now.
We recommend keeping SOS alongside your Core remedy, ready for a little extra support during more intense emotions or when life throws something unexpected your way.
-
We get it — sometimes more than one can sound like you.
Rather than trying to tackle everything at once, think about what feels most present for you right now. What’s bothering you most? What keeps coming up? Start there.
Choose the Core remedy that most closely reflects that feeling. As things change, your remedy can change too.
