Very Useful Book
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.

Great Wealth of Information
For anyone wanting to learn about Flower Essences for their children, this book is wonderful. I read it in about an hour and gleaned a wealth of information from it. I now know exactly which essences will suit my children best. I highly recommend this book!

Excellent Resource
I am still new to using the Bach Flower Remedies. However, this book helps guide me tremendously. Thank you so much for writing such an easy to read book. I am so glad that I found Homeopathy and the Bach Flower Remedies.
