If you are interested in Australian Flower Essences, I offer a thorough distance learning course:

Flower remedies are not new. The Australian Aboriginals have always used flowers to heal the emotions, as did the ancient Egyptians. There has also been a very long tradition of use of flower essences in India, Asia and South America and they were also very popular in Europe in the Middle Ages. Hildegard von Bingen (12th century) and Paracelsus (15th century) both wrote about how they collected dew from flowering plants to treat health imbalances. . Dr. Edward Bach rediscovered flower essences over fifty years ago using flowers of English plants and shrubs. His vision was that of simplicity. Like Dr. Bach, all the great healers such as Hippocrates, Paracelsus, Aristotle and Hahnemann agreed on this point. They believed that good health was the result of emotional, spiritual and mental harmony.

Australian plants have a real beauty and strength. There is something quite remarkable about them. Apart from the fact that Australia has the highest number of flowering plants, they are the oldest in the world. Metaphysically, Australia has always had a very wise, old energy and at the moment there is a tremendous new vitality in this country and New Zealand.

IAN WHITE. Naturopath and Homeopath B.Sc.,N.D.,D.B.M. Founder of the Australian Bush Flower Essences The healing method of flower essences was rediscovered by Dr. Edward Bach sixty years ago through the use of English flowering plants. Today our society and its needs are totally different to that of sixty years ago. There has been a great need for remedies that would help people deal with the issues of the 21st century - sexuality, communication skills and spirituality to name but a few. The answer to this need has come from the Australian plants, developed and researched by Naturopath, Ian White a fifth generation Australian herbalist. Ian grew up in the Australian bush. As a young boy his grandmother, like her mother before her, specialised in using Australian plants and would often take him bush walking. From her deep understanding she would point out the many healing plants and flowers. He learned a profound respect for nature through her and went on to become a practitioner and a pioneer working with and researching the rare remedial qualities of Australian native plants.
