About
Bush Flower Essences and Ian White
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.
This
healing method 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.
Australia
has the world's oldest and highest number of flowering plants
exhibiting tremendous beauty and strength. Also Australia
is relatively unpolluted and metaphysically has a very wise,
old energy.
