Review of Bach Flower Remedies for Children: A Parents' Guide (Paperback)

I have always had my homeopathic remedies made by a pharmacy and was skeptical of remedies that could be purchased at a store.Well, when all else failed to work for me, I decided to try the Bach remedies and they worked!From there, I branched out into treating our cat and also my children.

This book is easy to understand and use.As most Flower Remedy books do, it starts with a short introduction.From there, it goes on to list the remedies alphabetically and to explain which sort of child would benefit.In a style that reminded me of Waldorf School educators, the author also included a short story to be told to the child related to their personality type.Very interesting.

At the end, there is a chart listing the remedies and the conditions each one can treat.This is a very useful reference.This chart differs from the chapters because it also lists physical problems, as well as emotional personality.For example, I looked under pimples for my daughter.Of course, Bach thought that physical problems all had emotional or psychological roots to begin with.

This is a book that I will consult over and over again.It is very well done.

Review of Health from God's Garden: Herbal Remedies for Glowing Health and Well-Being (Paperback)

Speaking of my past medical history, I know these herbal remedies heal. I was diagnosed with an incurable disease of the bladder named "Interstitial Cystitis" and went to a good urologist for many years for treatment.By coincidence, my mother found this herbal book in German and told me there would be a cure in herbal science possible. My Godmother from Germany bought a tea from this book called:" Small flowered Willowrose" - I drank this tea for many months to come and I am cured because of it. I am a true believer in this and recommend this book to everyone out there who wants to get healed in a natural way without chemicals.
