The Alchemy of the Desert

A Comprehensive Guide to Desert Flower Essences
for Professional & Self Help Use

by
Cynthia Athina Kemp Scherer

The Alchemy of the Desert is an intimate look at the healing power of flowers from the Arizona Deserts. The great work of the alchemists was to find the way to transform things of lesser value into precious assets, “lead into gold.” The modern alchemist can use the help of nature to turn problems into opportunities, trauma into experience, handicaps into assets.

Safe, effective, and with lasting effects, flower essences are a powerful support for modern healing. Desert flower essences are now being used professionally in more than twenty countries by doctors, psychologists and natural healing practitioners.

This book is for those who love nature. It is an invaluable guide for professional therapists and self-help enthusiasts on the journey of healing and self-awareness.

Updated second edition includes:

I love The Alchemy of the Desert book. Just reading it helps me and my patients. I am a psychiatrist and I use the book to select flower essences for some of my patients who request more natural support."
