Summary: Wonderful book, but should be used in conjunction with
Review: another book of choice that goes into the descriptions of the indivudal flower essences. This book covers the essences of the wellknown makers, but does not go into any depth, at all, of the descriptions. It's very comprehensive and easy to understand as far as the repertory and ruberics go....

Summary: The consummate book on flower essences. Outstanding.
Review: Finally, a comprehensive guide to flower essences. Dr. Garson Shapiro does an admirable job of bringing together the remedies of this wonderful healing form. He is to be commended for what apparently was an intensely time consuming endeavor.

Summary: A "must" for the serious health care practitoner or novice
Review: For beginners, intermediates, and advanced flower essence buffs alike, The Flower Remedy Book addresses the single most commonly asked flower essence question: how to know which essence(s) to take? This vital companion guide takes the mystery out of essence selection, in a comprehensive and easy-to-digest manner. It diffuses the sense of confusion and overwhelm one faces,with so many reputable flower essences, and essence lines, presently available. In this book, Dr. Garsen Shapiro has provided credibility and dimension to an old healing art recently rediscovered.

Summary: Another perspective
Review: From my personal perspective, I did not find this book helpful. Possibly this was because, as one reviewer put it, it tries to take the mystery out of flower essences. Think about it - the workings of the essences are a mystery, even though the community is learning a lot about the situations in which a particular essence is most suited. I believe that it is a mistake to treat them as though they were drugs in the PDR, which I feel is the overall message of this book: find a sympton; prescribe an essence; Voila! An essence is a gift from the plant to the animal/human world and needs to be respected as such.

Summary: great materia medica
Review: I like this book a lot. it is a great materia medica for flower essences! I could have given it five stars for the materia medica, but I would have loved to have a part in the book where the remedies also were listed per se, but he do give guidelines for where you can find this. But i do recommend this book for everyone seriously working with or interested in floweressences, really great work!

Summary: A really good source book!!!
Review: This is a good book for quick references. It's good to have some practicality and clarity with essences so "everyone" can have the opportunity to use the them. If the essences are kept too confusing and too mystical then people will not want to even try the essences. If they would happen to need them, then that would be sad if it was too confusing for them to use. One thing I wish is that the author had included the list of essences with some descriptions of them, separate from the other listings. The listings that are in the book are by symptoms. Then the essences that are needed for that symptom are underneath. The essence is then described there. It's a very handy and understandable book!!

Summary: How to use over 700 traditional and new flower essences.
Review: This is the only book that describes how to use the traditional Bach Flower remedies as well as over 650 other flower remedies that have been developed in the past two decades. These include the Alaskan flowers, Australian bush flower essences, the Flower Essence Society's North American and British flower essences, and the fruit and vegetable blossom essences that were developed based on the teaching of Paramhansa Yogananda. Jeffrey Garson Shapiro has created a flower essence repertory-a systematic inventory of specific symptoms followed by a list of those remedies that they are known to cure. This listing allows the reader to be extremely precise in finding the correct essences to treat a particular ailment. Shapiro covers numerous mental/emotional symptoms (abandonment, anxiety, blame, co-dependence, denial, stress, trust, violence, wisdom, and worry, to name a few) as well as physical symptoms (aches, anorexia, back/neck problems, bulimia, cancer, and childbirth, among others). "Flower essence remedies are a safe, practical, and effective addition to any clinician's toolbox. They are useful in the management of a wide variety of both psychological and physical complaints, often including those for which conventional medicines offers little or nothing. The Flower Remedy Book is a very thorough reference which easily and efficiently guides individuals or clinicians in choosing which of the many available flower remedies would be most indicated to support the healing process." -Michael F. Cantwell, M.D., M.P.H., Pediatrician and Complementary Medicine Physician, Institute for Health and Healing, California Pacific Medical Center
