The Bach Flower Remedies Illustrations and Preparations

The authors are the devoted successors of Dr Bach and this book is for those who wish to prepare the flower essences themselves from the actual wild flowers for personal use. It provides instructions on how to prepare the mother tincture and stock remedies by the sun method and the boiling method and includes a list of the remedies and their properties, from Agrimony to Willow. These entries include the common name of the flower essence, the botanical name, the indications for use, descriptions of the plant, the leaves, the flowers and the time of blooming, plus preparation methods. Every entry is graced with a beautiful colour photograph of the flower in question. The book concludes with a bibliography of books about the Bach Flower Remedies. This is not for the general reader who wish to use the remedies and want to know more about their qualities, but strictly for those who are interested in making their own. As such it will have a limited appeal but I still found it to be interesting reading. People interested in natural healing and medicinal plants will certainly find this a valuable source-book.
