What is flower essence therapy?

Flower essence therapy is a term that names the practice of using flower essences in a consistent, purposeful way to experience emotional harmony and spiritual well-being. Flower essences can be used on their own or in conjunction with other healing modalities to support or change our emotional attitudes and ways of perceiving ourselves. They provide a language that helps us to understand our inner world and the ways in which we respond to life and life's situations. [1]

What kind of professional could benefit from incorporating the use of flower essences in his/her healing practice?

A professional from any healing field can incorporate flower essences into his or her practice. Medical doctors, psychologists, psychiatrists and dentists are now using flower essences in their practices. Chiropractors, massage therapists and body workers of all types have added flower essences to their sessions. Spiritual counselors, ministers, shamans and those who do laying on of hands have also found the flower essences to be an important aid in their work. Many homeopathic and naturopathic doctors use them as well.

While many healing modalities focus on the physical aspects of healing, flower essence therapy addresses the emotional and spiritual levels. Healing is a multilevel process that encompasses the whole person, which includes the physical body, the emotions, mental outlook, attitudes and spiritual understanding.

A growing number of health care practitioners now recognize that patients with the best outlook on life and who feel emotionally supported tend to recover faster and have fewer reoccurrences of an illness. By incorporating flower essences with other healing therapies, a practitioner can support the client's emotions, attitudes and spiritual awareness. [1]
