Mimulus is known primarily as one of Bach's Flowers.
Bach Flowers (BFR) are a widely available popular form of complementary and alternative medicine developed in 1930 by Dr. Dr. Edward Bach. Bach devoted his life to the discovery of 38 remedies that correspond to 38 negative emotionals. The Mimulus is suitable for fear of things, shyness, nervous personality (1).
A targeted study on the effectiveness of the BFR analyzed studies and methodologies until June 2008 (2).
