Really fascinating book that is well written and organized. I also loved the interviews of flower essence practitioners the insight into what they do was very educational for me.

I received this book from NetGalley for an honest review.

The Healing Guide to Flower Essences is a great library addition to anyone who is a fan of herbalism, holistics etc. The illustrations are stunning but the invocations seem to be a bit repetitive and slightly pointless.

The healing guide to flower essences will guide you into understanding their meanings, properties, uses and how to apply this long used practice of healing and life enhancement balancing.

Recommended for anyone who loves flowers, gardening or working with herbs! During quarantine, one of the only things I did to stay fit aside from Yoga, is walk. We have walked a lot so far, keeping close to house. You can imagine the sites get pretty boring when you’ve seen the same thing over and over again. One thing that kept them interesting was checking out the wildlife.

It’s Spring and everything is in bloom! Knowing the little I did about flowers before reading the book, I knew that Honeysuckle smells intoxicating and is good for many things and can be eaten. We all know the benefits of Lavender which is everywhere! When I found this one on Netgalley, I knew I wanted to read it.

Having tons of information on remedies and the history of flowers, I think you’ll be pleasantly surprised in your new found-knowledge of everything that blooms!

Thank you to Netgalley, Alena Hennessy, and Quarto Publishing Group – Fair Winds for the ARC.

This is a lovely book, full of stunning illustrations. It is pitched just at the right level and I liked the way the flower essences were listed based on their potential use. The layout was perfect and easy to follow. You can start small by selecting one that appeals to you based on its healing properties, buy it for a relatively small amount and give it a go. There are interviews with experienced practitioners and a full list of places where you can source the essences. Details of the Bachs remedies are also given which is probably the easiest way to get started as they are widely available.. I loved the instructions for making your own too. Overall it is a brilliant book beautifully executed.

What a wonderful book to have during this stressful time! I am new to Flower Essences , but I felt this book gave me just the right amount of information about each topic without overwhelming me. I honestly wanted to go out a buy a bunch of these after I read this! Beautiful designs in the book as well.

I learned a lot from this book. I am new to Flower Essences and this book break things down where they are easy to understand. The book also breaks down different kinds of flowers based on ned. Each flower has a drawing, explanation, uses, and incantation. The book also includes many interviews with Flower Essences PRactionors giving other insight into the practice.

A fascinating and informative book, full of interesting ideas and hints.
I liked the style of writing and how the book is organised.
Recommended.
Many thanks to the publisher and Netgalley for this ARC, all opinions are mine.
