Review: Floral Acupuncture: Applying The Flower Essences Of Dr. Bach To Accupuncture Sites - I love this book, which is a reflection of the voice in which it was written. The book has an aesthetic sensibility which supports its heartful message. The information is succint and with depth. It may not be the only book a person would use as a reference for flower essences, as it is aimed primarily to linking the flower with the specific meridian site. Yet, I can see that it may be a nice book to begin with also. I really appreciate the photos of the point locations. They are not the usual dry diagrams normally encountered. A nice addition to an already established library of knowledge. It's been helpful in my own journey and personal research with flower essences. Thank you for writing it and crafting its presentation. One of the other reviewers commented on the limitations of the science behind the research. I see this book as a very useful addition to a skilled practitioner's library or worthy of exploration for personal use. After all, what people really want is results. I've been using plant extracts topically for years and this is a nice light to understanding my own experiences. Ariel, herbalist Review: This takes Bach Flower Essences to a whole new level! - I've been interested in both Bach Flower Essences and acupuncture for a while, but the flower essences seemed more easily self learned. Taking the flower essences orally produces positive effects, but using them on the appropriate acupuncture points so clearly depicted in the wonderful pictures in the book make using the combination of both techniques very easy to self administer. In my experience of Floral Acupuncture, putting the essences on the acupoints is brilliant, synergistic and often produces profound results much more quickly than with the traditional use of the essences. I have little previous experience with acupuncture, but now I want to eventually learn that too! I enthusiastically recommend this book to all energy therapists and encourage them to incorporate Floral Acupuncture into their practices.
