Synopsis

The thirty-eight flower remedies discovered by Dr Edward Bach were described by him as bringing courage to the fearful, peace to the anguished and strength to those who are weak. This is a book about the way these remedy plants grow and how they relate to human emotional states. It has been a long time in the making, representing the summation of over 20 years' work, study and practice. Taking the storyline of Bach's discoveries of the Bach flower remedies it is both a reappraisal and a strikingly original account of the relationship between plants and mankind. Bach spoke of the Grand Design which is behind the physical world of living things. A Grand Design and a Grand Designer. Here we see aspects of that at work.

About this title

Review

New Age RetailerHealth & HealingIn the 1920's, homeopathic physician Dr. Edward Bach developed 38 combinations of flower essences for healing emotional states of imbalance and physical disorders. Bach Flower Remedies offers a deep learning about how the Bach remedies work and how they were developed. Herbalist Julian Barnard explores the nature of the plants employed in the remedies in extraordinary detail, listing the particular qualities and properties of each remedy and explaining why it is prepared in the way it is.Bach taught that illnesses are related to how people live, that people need to make changes in their lifestyle in order to achieve good health, and that physical health is related directly to emotional, mental and spiritual states. The ultimate purpose of his remedies is to bring patients nearer to the divinity within, which is what actually heals. Illness is meaningful, Bach believed. Patients need to examine their lives to find the meaning in what is happening to them and thus participate in the healing process. This exciting, thought-provoking book is set to be a cornerstone reference work and a spiritual guide for people engaged in healing practices. Line drawings and black and white photos of the flowers and trees utilized in the remedies accompany the text.
