The Flower Healer by Barbara Olive

'To truly understand how flower essences work requires an acceptance that as humans we are more than just a physical body... Flower essences are the energetic imprints of the life force of plants that interact with these subtle bodies of ours and have an effect upon us. We can say that they work in a similar way to inspirational music or art, which carry meaning through the medium of sound or light - a vibration'
(Barbara Olive - Introduction)

Flowers offer us so much more than colour, scent and beauty! Flower essences are natural remedies that heal by re-balancing mind, body and spirit and in this new book, The Flower Healer, flower essence pioneer, Barbara Olive shows us how all plants and trees possess vibrational energies that resonate with our own to heal mind and body.

The Flower Healer presents 150 flower essences and shows how they can help ease many physical and emotional symptoms. Barbara looks at how and why flower healing works, explains how to diagnose the essences you need and shows how using essences couldn't be simpler to begin your journey to better health! All you need are a few drops under the tongue or in the bath, or simply use your flower essence as a body spray!

A comprehensive A-Z symptom finder enables you to access flower essences to treat a range of ailments affecting adults, children and animals. Whether you are suffering from stiff joints, anxiety, indecision, insomnia, or headaches and weight issues, The Flower Healer is a practical and essential reference guide to choosing and using flower essences, revealing their properties and powers!

Below is a short excerpt taken from the Introduction of The Flower Healer by Barbara Olive. The jacket of the book has its own little story. To find out more plus information on the birth chart for the 'South African Daisy' person, please contact Sonia Pugh on 01375-892104

Flower essences are energy or vibrational infusions made from the spirit of a plant by floating the plant in a crystal bowl of spring water usually under the sunlight. The first 38 flower remedies were formulated in the 1930s by the renowned British physician, Dr. Edward Bach, who discovered a method of imbuing pure water with the healing properties of herbs and wildflowers, and went on to create the Bach Flower remedies that are still in use, and are universally recognised.

Today, however, there are an ever increasing number of essences made from plants and living elements including gemstones and even waterfalls. Indeed, the very flower - South African Daisy - Osteospermum jacundum- used on the cover of this book, never existed as an essence until it's image was chosen by the publishers as the symbol of the book. 'But it's not an essence,' I told them. 'But we love this picture!' they replied. 'But it's not an essence!!' I continued, bemused at their obstinacy. Then I thought to myself ..... perhaps, just perhaps this is another flower just begging to be immortalised in an essence and maybe this is the energy of the Flower Healer.

My first task was to find the correct species, there's only 50 different osteospermums to choose from. But no less than 10 minutes later with the help of the internet I had the name. Now I had to find where I could get hold of one that had been nurtured and cared for as much as any nursery or garden centre could. Never having purchased a plant before with the express notion of making an essence this was a new experience for me. The Beth Chatto Gardens just on the outskirts of Colchester in Essex were an inspiration. I was not disappointed, my only regret was that I didn't have time to explore further than my purchase - I was on my way to The Bach Cromer Conference - a celebration of the life of Dr Bach who, had he still been alive would have been 120 years old. It seemed that synchronicity was hard at work here, even the Osteospermums went to the conference!

Researching the plant, I also found out that it's also known as Osteospermum Barberae, a shiver reverberated throughout my body, no this is just too much. What are the chances of Barbara's book flower also being called Barbarae. Cico you are genius'. My South African Daisy or SAD for short was beginning to take on a life of its own.

Don't be deceived by the simplicity of these recipes. They're based on real food, not processed ingredients, and they're what helped Mike Adams achieve an astonishing level of health, including LDL cholesterol of 67 and total cholesterol of 129. Adams' resting pulse is 48 beats per minute, his blood pressure is 105/60 and his fasting blood glucose is 87. And these are actual statistics from a guy who used to be nearly obese and diabetic!

Transcend common nutritional knowledge by learning the difference between toxic foods, dead foods and living foods
Bundled together with Superfood Smothies, we're including a groundbreaking new report by Mike Adams entitled Toxic Foods, Dead Foods and Living Foods.

This eye-opening guide teaches you the qualitative difference among these three categories of foods. It's not just about calories and nutritional facts, you see. The state of your food also matters.

Food can be "embalmed" (toxic foods) by chemical additives and poisons. These are the most common and most deadly foods of all.
Food can also be "dead" by cooking it at high temperatures. These temperature destroy proteins, alter carbohydrates and actually form new carcinogenic compounds (like acrylamides). While some cooked foods are quite good for you (roots, leafy vegetables, etc.), they don't compare to the health-enhancing properties of living foods.

The healthiest foods are "living" foods, which deliver the highest density of nutrients, proteins, phytochemicals and plant-based medicines to your body. As this report explains, these foods should be the basis of any attempt to heal from disease, injury or immune suppression.

In Toxic Foods, Dead Foods and Living Foods, you'll learn:


* Why cooked foods cause you to feel hungry, even when you've already eaten all the calories you really need.
* How to shop for foods that will enhance your health instead of destroying it.
* Why snack foods cooked at high temperatures can cause cancer.
* Why canned "dead" foods may be dangerous to your health. (Bisphenol A has been found in an alarming percentage of canned foods.)
* The true history of food, and why "factory food" is a mass experiment gone awry.
* Why avoiding beef jerky, bacon, sausage and lunchmeats may save your life from pancreatic cancer and colon cancer.
* Why the most heavily-advertised foods are almost always the least healthy.
* How your choice of foods directly impacts brain function, moods and even your effective intelligence.
* The truth about dead foods: They serve the interests of the food companies at the expense of your health!
* Why so-called "health juices" are a nutritional joke. The pasteurization process, necessary to ensure shelf life, destroys their nutrition!
* How to make your own raw, natural, high-protein buckwheat cereal using nothing but water and a food dehydrator.
* Details on the 30-day raw foods challenge. How to change your health future in a single month.You'll receive this exclusive report at no additional charge with Superfood Smoothies!
