5.0 out of 5 stars the best on English flower essences, November 28, 2001

This review is from: The Healing Herbs of Edward Bach: An Illustrated Guide to the Flower Remedies (Paperback)

I have been using flower essences (and reading books on flower essences) for over a decade, and this book is my all time favorite. It helps me focus in on exactly the right essence for the occasion, even when I am a bit unsure on which one to chose. I think the reason for that is that the authors know the English flower essences so intimately and that it is as though they are lending you their years of focus and knowledge on a spiritual as well as an intellectual level. If you get the book, try holding it in your hands and asking for guidance on a particular problem, then open the book. Notice if reading about the essence that you open to provides you with deeper insight into the problem beyond what you might have had on your own. It has for me.

5.0 out of 5 stars A wonderful collection of Edward Bach's writings, April 17, 2001

This review is from: The Healing Herbs of Edward Bach: An Illustrated Guide to the Flower Remedies (Paperback)

This book is must for all flower essence practitioners and essence lovers. This collection covers all of the foundational information about flower essences in a easy and enjoyable manner. Martine and Julian Barnard, along with their own line of Flower Essences, Healing Herbs (the same 38 individual essences that Bach created), have brought the richness and power of Bach's quality work further out into the world.

Great in-sight and understanding to the magical healing world of Edward Bach's Flower Remedies.

This review is from: The Healing Herbs of Edward Bach: An Illustrated Guide to the Flower Remedies (Paperback)

The introduction contains a brief history of Dr Bach and his discovery of the flower remedies, followed by sections on the preparation of the essences and information on the flowering periods.

The main body of the book is a detailed treatment of each of the 38 remedies, from Agrimony to Willow. Each entry has an affirmation and indication (what problems it is effective for) in Bach's own words. There are also full color photographs of the whole plant and the flower, plus black and white illustrations of these.

These entries also contain detailed discussions on why a specific flower heals a specific condition, and provide the locality, identification and information on the preparation of the essence. This excellent guide on Dr Bach's flower essences concludes with a bibliography.

I have personally found Dr Bach's and other flower essences to be helpful for a variety of conditions. This book is an asset to the literature on this gentle and non-intrusive healing modality. I highly recommend it.
