Editorial Reviews

From Library Journal

In Bach flower therapy, developed over 60 years ago by the English physician Edward Bach, 38 individual distilled flower essences are used to affect mental and emotional states. Scheffer is a longtime Bach flower therapy practitioner and the author of previous books on the subject, including Bach Flower Therapy: Theory and Practice. While not an encyclopedia in any traditional sense (it is arranged more like a large-format book), this new volume does provide an exhaustive treatment of the subject. Scheffer covers the history, philosophy, and background of the therapy and then discusses each of the 38 flower essences. The results of Scheffer's years of study and clinical practice are reflected in the information on remedy preparation, interview questionnaires, checklists, tables for selecting remedies, and evaluation sheets for therapeutic use, as well as appendixes containing FAQs and a list of resources. Unfortunately, there is no index. While Bach's original publications remain the standard in this field, this volume represents the most thorough treatment on the subject currently available. Highly recommended for all alternative medicine collections in both public and academic libraries. Mary Stout, Pima Community Coll., Tucson

5.0 out of 5 stars The only book on Bach Flower Therapy you will need
Reviewed in the United States on October 23, 2018
Verified Purchase
I don't usually describe books as "the only one you will ever need on the subject..." but in this case, I really mean it. I have read a number of books on Bach Flower Essences since I first became enamored of them in college in the 1980s. But I have found nothing in any other book on the subject that is not contained here-- and in most cases, is written more beautifully and clearly here than elsewhere. Though called an "Encyclopedia"-- and it IS encyclopedic in the amount of material it covers-- it is by no means written in the form of dry facts, but in a very warm, personal, and uplifting style that enables you to truly get to know and befriend the Bach flower remedies and their system of usage. Reading the book is almost a healing experience in itself. As I read it I find myself feeling calm, inspired, and grateful for the magnificent yet simple system of flower healing that Dr. Bach developed and this author so elegantly explains. I have many books on Bach flowers, but this is the only one I keep in my professional office as a reference.

I love this book! I owned it once before...but someone else loved it to..and kept it. A lot of people with troubled minds and or anxiety(which we all go through at some point in our lives) tend to feel they have to be medicated to get through their troubles....and in the end suffer from bad side effects or addiction. This book along with the remedies has and still does, helped me through some hard times. When I was first introduced to the Bach flowers my boyfriend of many years had passed away. These remedies helped me greatly through my grief, and I was able to continue on through life during the tragedy without depression, and with a clear mind. Two years later my practitioner suggested this book(the only one she uses). I purchased the book and started working with the remedies as well. All I can say is that the book along with the Bach flowers have been life changing!

Excellent book on Bach Flower remedies. Detailed information as well as beautiful photographs on each individual flower. I feel I have a much deeper understanding of the energies and theories behind this type of natural healing after reading this book. So much great information. I underlined and highlighted throughout and feel this book is worth every penny. I will be taking a class in Bach Flower remedies as part of my Nutritional Health Practitioner training and feel I have an excellent head start and grasp on what these remedies are all about. I have used these remedies for some time now with great success and will now be able to recommend them to my clients with a better understanding and greater confidence.

It’s not the greatest book out there, but it is a good resource if you are a beginner and working with the power of Bach flower essences. Highly recommend for beginners. You will not be disappointed in your studies. However, there are good websites and much more information available on The Internet.

I found this book very helpful in the beginning and I still use it as a reference. It’s not quite as detailed as I would like, but more than adequate as you begin your studies. You will not be disappointed.

So much good information in one source! Helps in understanding the integration of psychological influences, physical symptoms which may results from emotional states, and the spiritual aspects. Appreciated that the text included some Christian scripture references that, while not excessive in their number, helped me to better understand how problems in spiritual formation manifest themselves as emotional issues.

The Encyclopaedia of Bach Flower Therapy by Mechthild Scheffer is the only book you will ever need to learn about these flower essences. I am currently doing a Bach Flower Essence Training Course and have found this book to be a valuable reference book. Each Essence is thoroughly covered in depth; how they work. how to choose the correct flower essence for particular personality and emotional imbalances, along with questionares and tools to utilize during consultations to assist with providing appropriate therapy, are all included in this book along with the Philosophy of Dr. Edward Bach. A 'must-read' and Reference book for Bach Flower Practitioners.
