Advanced Bach Flower Therapy: A Scientific Approach to Diagnosis and Treatment

If you are a seeker, interested in cures to your own problems, this book will not only help you find the right essence, but will start opening your mind to your real issues, before you even use the essences. I've read this book from cover to cover, underlined and made many notes as I saw myself with different situations that could benefit from the power of certain essences.If you pay careful attention to the way the book is set up, you will begin to draw conclusions about your needs. The essences are looked at from different perspectives in each section of the book, so it doesn't pay to skip any section. There are helpful lists of essences that might be combined to work with each specific essence. Each essence is associated with a psychological "syndrome", it's characteristics, areas of use, causes and symptoms. Each syndrome looks at personal complexes that can be favorably or unfavorably developed in life, and the reasons. I found that each section explains the actions of the essences somewhat differently, which additionally helped me determine whether or not I wanted to consider working with them.After studying this book, I purchased several essences that I thought would be the most important issues to begin my work, then spent a month using the essences daily. If you have good insight into your own personality and issues, this is a good book to start your "work" with flower essences. As you work with flower essences, keep in mind the direction each will take you. This is where the insights begin to appear, which is part of the healing process--knowing where you are going.There are hundreds of flower essences available to do your "personal work" and help you through life's ebb and flow. Since Bach uses only 38 essences, you have a pared down approach, through this book and Bach's essences, to begin your quest, and find some success along the way.

I thought this book would be too beyond my basic knowledge to be useful so quickly, but I am pleasantly mistaken.The first portion of the book is dedicated to breaking down each Bach flower essence and what it is used for. It gives a one sentence synopsis, a paragraph expansion, and then a full page or three on what a person who needs that essence may look like. These three levels of information depth make it wonderful to scan through to find the right essence and then really study and get the feel for the essence you choose. It also lists complementary essences to pair with the choose not essence and what the pair would help with. I find this especially helpful for making a mix of essences.The second part of the book gives common pairs and a paragraph on what the pair would help with. It then lists other essences to compliment the pair. Again this is helpful for making mixes and knowing if the mix will blend well to not overstimulate the user.All in all I am very pleased and have used this book a great deal.

This wonderful guidebook has been the best introduction into flower essence therapy and my new hobby.....Very detailed info for laypeople to experts and everyone in between! 💗👍💗

The content of this book is soooooo comprehensive. When I read the emotional states that the particular essence addresses it was so perfectly clear which ones were for me. Unmatched in it's precise descriptions.

I highly recommend this to anyone who needs to understand how to apply the Bach Flower Therapy to their own personal situations. It was easy to follow. it lists nearly every type of condition and every possible combination to help you treat them.

Good book, comprehensive and detailed information. A good book to referred for additional information on flower remedies. I'm amazed at how flower remedies have really improved my life. I am so much happier and have TONS more energy since using FLOWER REMEDIES.

Specific and informative.

This is a well put together handbook utilizing Bach's original 38 flower essences and taking them into a more clinical setting. Psychiatric and medical conditions are addressed with the supporting combination of flower essences to be used to combat the conditions. I have found this book essential in my practice and highly recommend it.Lorraine Castro, LMFT
