Flowering health

This excellent work on the Bach flower remedies is one of the best books on the subject that I have encountered. The author provides the history of Dr. Bach and the remedies, deals with the remedies as a holistic healing modality and offers a possible interpretation as to how and why they work. There is a chapter devoted to finding the right remedy for specific diseases - lists of symptoms are included to facilitate diagnosis. The practical application of the remedies is thoroughly explained and there is an interesting discussion of the 38 flowers from which they are made and their qualities. A helpful Question and Answer section addresses frequently asked questions. The book concludes with a bibliography, list of useful addresses and an index. In additional to this informative book and for a wider look at holistic medicine, I highly recommend Gerber's masterpiece Vibrational Medicine.

This book is a must have!

I began studying and using the Bach Flower Remedies about 6 months ago. I have read and re-read this book regarding different essences. It contains case studies along with both "essay" descriptions of the positive and negative states of each essence as well as check lists of qualities a person might exhibit if they were in need of that particular essence. Very informative and very useful in deepening your understanding the essences.

Invaluable book for anyone using Bach Flower Remedies.

This book is the definitive guide to Bach Flower Remedies and is extremely insightful and well presented. It gives the positive and negatives for each Flower Remedy and a detailed description of each of the 38 Bach Flower Remedies. I have used it extensively in my Veterinary Practice for animals and for myself and people I know and it is a must for anyone using Flower Remedies for people or animals, though more geared towards people. I would highly recommend this book to the experienced practitioner or those seeking to learn about Bach Flower Remedies in general. Anna Maria Scholey MA Vet.MB MRCVS
