The Plants of Dr Bach: Molecules, Remedies and Lore

Description

By Gwenda Kyd. When Dr Edward Bach discovered the flower remedies in the 1930s he was carrying on a tradition of using plants for healing stretching back at least 60,000 years. Although the flower remedies are known and used worldwide, however, the source plants themselves are often overlooked. This book lifts the lid on the lives of the remedy plants and explores some of their weird and wonderful other uses and their origins. We’ll discover the plant extract used to test for a rare blood group, the tree which helps make beer taste smoother and the flower forbidden to Victorian girls because of the shocking dreams it provoked.
