Starting with the germinal work of Dr. Edward Bach, the subtle energetic impact of flower essences has been systematically developed over the last 70 or more years. Dr. Bach worked with 38 flowers which he found in his local environment. Over the years, hundreds of flower essences have been developed, using flowers found in other parts of the world. Understanding how to utilize this wider range of flower essences is a key aspect of the current book, which reviews the use of 350 different flowers.While a large number of these essences are available in the marketplace, many in fact are not. The author, who has a long history of working with subtle energies, and in particular the power of flowers and gemstones, has provided simple and easy-to-apply instructions in the introduction to this book so that you can make your own flower essences if you so choose. She has also provided information on the compatible gemstones to enhance the action of the flower essences, as well as background in the chakras (which are each a nexus where various energies come together in the subtle body.)
The book is organized for easy access and use, covering each flower in a standardized format, presented in alphabetical order. This book is useful for both the individual seeking to apply flower essences in his or her life, as well as for the professional wellness practitioner to expand the range of flower remedies in their repertoire.
Each flower is listed with its Latin name for identification, its colour, and which chakra the essence is most focused upon for energetic healing and wellness. With each flower entry is also listed a group of possible gemstones to include in making the essence, to enhance and increase its subtle healing action.
