Review of The Bach Flower Remedies (Paperback)

Dr. Edward Bach, a skilled homeopathic physician, developed his own theory about the causeof disease. Dr. Bach believed that physical diseases begin as an imbalance in the patient'semotional well-being. By attending to emotions and weeding out harmful emotions from thepatient's psyche, a healing trend can be initiated that assists the patient in avoidingfuture physical diseases. Treating emotional states addresses diseases while they are stillat the energy level. Dr. Bach believed that the flower essences could even be helpful oncedisease had progressed to a physical manifestation. The flower essences do not replace othertreatments such as homeopathy, but they can assist other treatments by soothing thepatient's mental condition and initiating preliminary steps towards healing the imbalancethat led to the disease in the first place.

This book is filled with wonderful information that the beginner can use to learn to use theflower essences to heal themselves and others. It is the basic text and everyone who isinterested in flower essences should have this text regardless of what other texts they ownas well. Bach thoroughly explains his theory on the source of disease and then each floweressence is examined, one by one, showing the emotional profile of the patient who would mostbenefit from each remedy.

The system is very simple and can be learned easily by the layman but it is very effective-- only 38 remedies cover the entirety of negative human emotions! Dr. Bach insisted thatthe flower essences be kept simple because he believed that their simplicity was a keyfactor of their effectiveness. Treating one's self and others with flower essences is simpleto learn but it is also an art that one will spend the rest of their lifetime developing andperfecting.

This book could be good for a model wanna-be.It does have a chapter on shaping your eyebrows and waxing your legs - ouch!However, if you want useful recipes and remedies do not buy this book!The author's idea of a recipe for Foot-Soaking Fizzies is Alka Seltzer and your favorite essential oil.Her recipe for Aromatherapy Bath Salts is epsom salt, your favorite essential oil and food coloring! This book lacks useful information and only has a few recipes other than those listed on the back cover. Most ingredients are not natural and most of her"secrets" would irritate my sensitive skin.
