Bach gooide de oudere versies van de twaalf genezers weg en verving ze steeds door de nieuwere, naarmate hij meer remedies ontdekte. De oudere versies zijn hier opgenomen met de bedoeling de ontwikkeling te kunnen bestuderen.

Agrimony - Agrimonia eupatoria
September 1936: The Twelve Healers & Other Remedies (Collected Writings, pg 41/67)
The jovial, cheerful, humorous people who love peace and are distressed by argument or quarrel, to avoid which they will agree to give up much.
Though generally they have troubles and are tormented and restless and worried in mind or in body, they hide their cares behind their humour and jesting and are considered very good friends to know. They often take alcohol or drugs in excess, to stimulate themselves and help themselves bear their trials with cheerfulness.

1934: The Story of the Travellers (Collected Writings, pg 75/99)
after they had journeyed some distance one of the number, Agrimony, began to be worried as to whether they were on the right path.
Agrimony strides along free of all care, and jests on everything.
November 1933: Letter (to the Wheelers?) (Collected Writings, pg /31; Original Writings, pg 90)
One tiny suggestion. Does not Agrimony open the door to let in the golden vital breath of peace (instead of love). One always feels that the light of Agrimony is so very closely associated with 'the peace that passeth understanding', the peace of the Christ; whilst the love is more that glorious blue, that of Chicory, to my mind the nearest earthly colour which one associates surrounding our Lady, His Mother.
Augustus 1933: The Twelve Healers & Four Helpers (Collected Writings, pg 63/87)
TORTURE
To soothe all those tormented in body or mind and bring them peace. The restless, the worried, the anxious, the tortured. Those who can find no peace of mind, no rest. There is such a vast army of these sufferers who so often hide their torment under smiles and joviality. They are often the cheeriest of people, and are frequently humorists. A great number of these seek refuge in alcohol or even drugs as stimulants to help them to keep going. They will do anything rather than depress others with their trials. Even in severe illness they will jest and make light of their trials. They are brave people and Agrimony will help them so much.
The botanical name of each remedy is as follows:
These plants are in flower mostly during the months of July, August and September. Water Violet is a little earlier, being at its prime in June and July.
The following will give an idea of the places where they may be found, and some counties have local botanical books which will be a clear guide for particular districts, as these books often give exact localities.
AGRIMONY grows throughout the country in hedge-banks and meadows.
