Floral Acupuncture: Applying the Flower Essences of Dr. Bach to Acupuncture Sites Paperback – July 1, 2005

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

I was introduced to this book as a tool to use in conjunction with my Quantum Biofeedback program and Wow! It is amazing! As a stand-alone book and practice it's great, wonderful photos, beautiful explanations, and great diagrams for simply applying the essences directly to the points. As a complementary tool to my Quantum Biofeedback Program, it is priceless - The program tells me exactly which of the Flower Essences resonates with the client and it never fails to reflect exactly what the client is emotionally going through at the time. I am able to use the physical essence on point and also apply it energetically to the field - So appreciative of the authors for this incredible tool.

A refreshing read about the flower essences and their application on acupuncture meridians. I’ve used FEs for a few years as oral supplements. But, I first learned of this use for FEs from reading Dr. Richard Gerber’s book, “Vibrational Medicine.” It is a wonderful and relatively new field for energy healing and a must read for anyone looking at holistic wellness and especially if you have a TCM background. The authors have put together a great and user friendly book! I highly recommend it!

I've been using Bach flower essences in my therapeutic massage practice for over 20 years with amazing results! The information presented in this book is of benefit for anyone interested in massage and acupressure. The pictures are beautifully done, and the explanations of point locations easy to follow. But I found the writing of the main text to be too "flowery" at times (yes, I know that's a pun...) - just too esoteric. It may turn off readers who are new to the subject and not into new-age lingo. But useful otherwise.

this is an invalueable book. In conjunction with the book, New Bach Flower Body Maps by Dietmar Kramer, it is complete. Like most people, I too am perfectly happy with my spiritual path and occassionally feel the interferance of unkind past childhood wounds. I used 3 remedies in a week and feel my shen, my spirit, my true nature bigger, clearer, happier, more direct than ever. Many modalities have promised this and like all of us, I have tried many. Having the good fortune of a 5 element acupuncturist living across the street, I was able to get needles in the exact location. I had shamanic wavelike feelings, spontaneous tears, compassion and understanding toward the past, etc. If I were to throw these books away today, I would feel I got more than one can hope for in a lifetime. Using the body map book, I started with the upper throat, crab apple, feeling like something was contaminated in me. I have throat and sinus things all the time. My experience was understanding there was a kind of "original sin" in my family where their thinking I was a sht/low life/etc. was effecting the way I moved and perceive my place in the world. What a blessing to have this lifted. Next, the lower throat, water violet, healing the ability to be introspective/introverted and still feel comfortable with other people. Treating the sinuses was agrimony essence, balancing the inner and outer worlds. Although it is hard to convey healing in words, I have done my best and highly recommend this book to those who are drawn to flower essences.

The info on how to use the remedies externally is very informative with diagrams and pictures showing you where/which meridian points to put them. I can't wait to try the methods soon!!

Deborah and Warren share a most important facet of well documented light healing in this book. Applying flower essences to their corresponding meridians is moving our bodies consciousness to receive the sacred gifts of the imprinted clusters within the essences. This is a safe way to open up our stagnancies to the divine. Moving away from the use of metal within traditional acupuncture, and into the delicate soulful grace of the flower realm, they describe full body applications for the bodyworker or the self-healer. Taking tradition to a whole new level! Important and essential! This book is highly recommended.

I’m re-reading this book and blown away by the precise explanations of the meridians. Now, after a few years experience as an herbalist and my involvement with acupuncture, I can see how the Bach remedies enhance healing.
