Flower remedies are specially prepared flower essences, containing the healing energy of plants. They are prescribed according to a patient’s emotional disposition, as ascertained by the therapist, doctor, or individuals themselves.
Flower remedies are more homeopathic than herbal in the way they work, addressing energy levels rather than chemical balances. The remedies work on the principle that they encapsulate the flowers’ healing energy, and are said to deal with and overcome negative emotions, and so relieve blockages in the flow of human energy that can cause illness or imbalance.

This Level 3 Diploma in Flower Remedies will be ideal for those looking to study Flower Remedies to therapist level. You will discover the fundamentals of flower remedy therapy, from assessment of area of need, to interviewing and prescribing appropriate remedies. The course is suitable for students with little or no basic knowledge of flower remedies. It not only covers theoretical knowledge and understanding but also practitioner approaches and remedy prescribing, providing a thorough holistic overview of the therapy.

Module 1: What are Flower Remedies?

Module 2: Dr. Edward Bach’s Contribution
This module provides an opportunity to study the biography of Dr. Edward Bach and through discussion of his works identify the timeline for Flower Remedy practice as it stands today. There is discussion relating to Dr. Bach and his interest in astrology, personality types, responses, habits and life lessons – all of which contribute to the application of modern Flower Remedy practice. He asserted that a flower essence possesses the vibrational energy of the flower it is derived from. Nosodes are also discussed and there is incorporated content on oral remedies refined from bacterial vaccines; the differences between flower remedies and homeopathy and the relationship of flowers to herbs. This module also explains the misunderstandings and myths associated with Flower Remedies.

Module 4: Types and Groups
This module progresses from the previous one and focuses on the following issues of interest: the thirteen remedies – corresponding with an individual’s state of mind, remedy typology – relating to an individual’s characteristics, and five flower remedies. These are rescue remedies and apply to fear and worry, depression and hope, confidence, particular occurrences, relationships and action.
