Bach Flower Essences for Healing

I was introduced to flower essences and their healing properties 35 years ago when
I began my study in kinesiology (muscle testing) and holistic health. In the 1980s Bach Flower remedies were the most well known even though the use of flower essences can be traced back thousands of years with many cultures using these essences to treat emotional health and well-being. Today I am fortunate to have access to many other flower essences that offer support with healing and I will write more in another blog.

Flower essences are wonderful gifts from nature that help you to heal and strengthen your electrical system when it is out of balance. They help you cope with stressful situations while giving you an opportunity for self-healing.

In 1930, Dr. Edward Bach created 39 flower essences that are still being used today. He believed that physical symptoms were a result of disharmony on the mental, emotional and spiritual levels. 

The following is a list of books that I use as a reference for Bach flower essences. Each one offers a different perspective while keeping to the original understanding of each flower's healing properties.
