5.0 out of 5 stars A valuable development, March 15, 2003

By A Customer

I had been self treating with a few flowers for a couple of months, taking them orally, as I was undertaking a challenging activity that has repeatedly frustrated me in the past. I am quite confident I saw clearly the remedies needed at the time. I was not really experiencing much support from the remedies; the distress persisted. My wife helped me with 2 compress treatments one day, and I experienced a profound shift in myself with regard to the issues involved. I felt a greater inner peace than I had in months. I continue to reinforce the influence with a once-daily topical application of the remedies in a hand lotion. This has served me very well in the midst of the challenging situation where I have placed myself. I don't think this result would have been possible without Kramer's knowledge.
I have just started to work topically with patients and am eager to see what results obtain. Thank you.

5.0 out of 5 stars New Bach Flower Body Maps, August 5, 2002

By	Cassandra Barnes "Cassandra" (California) - See all my reviews (TOP 1000 REVIEWER)

Healers have long known about the effectiveness of the Bach Flower Remedies, which are usually ingested. Dietmar Kramer, a licensed naturopath, has experimented successfully with applying the remedies directly on the skin. The remedies don't work if simply applied indiscriminately. Kramer and his associates have developed detailed body maps indicating where to apply which remedies for best results.

New Bach Flower Body Maps presents the results of their research, a companion to his earlier volume, New Bach Flower Therapies. It includes clear and concise diagrams of the 242 areas of the body where the remedies should be applied, along with simple instructions for making compresses and lotions.

Kramer wrote both volumes because "new therapeutic consequences, resulting from our practical work with the patient and an intuitive approach, have opened entirely new possibilities for Bach Flower Therapy in both diagnosis and application."

Flower Therapy is based on the premise that negative emotional states manifest as physical illnesses. The Flower remedies are a non-invasive way to treat the underlying causes of disease. Therapists in the past have relied on extensive patient interviews to determine which remedy to use.

Kramer's research is groundbreaking, in that he's discovered that "every Bach Flower remedy is related to an area on the surface of the body. Negative moods lead to a change in the energetic structure of these places, which often is accompanied by pain and disturbing sensations in the physical body." His body maps clearly show the recommended Flower remedy for each part of the body. In short, once healers have determined where the body is ailing, they can consult the body maps and know promptly which Flower remedy will be most effective.

Kramer's research also shows that "it is possible to increase the effect of the flowers tremendously through application of Bach Flowers to the disturbed areas." He includes numerous case studies documenting his approach to treatment.

New Bach Flower Body Maps is an essential reference for anyone experienced with using Bach Flower remedies.

5.0 out of 5 stars Important & Path-breaking work, August 13, 2004

By	Rehan yar Khan "RyK" (Bombay, India) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

Kramer's work of mapping the body by flower types is the most important work since Bach's original book. Infact, you could say that Kramer's work continues Bach's work.

Kramer shows that areas of the body respond to particular flowers. For example, the bronchial passage corresponds with Oak, Star & Century. By applying these to the passage you can directly influence the broncial passage.

If you then combine superfically corresponding flowers with flowers corresponding to emotinal conditions (Bach's original method), it is possible to come to a full cure; even if previously you had reached a plateau with Bach's original method.

Don't miss this one.
