Healing Power of Flowers
Whether as bouquets in our homes and offices or blooming in our gardens, flowers have a wondrous ability to bring joy and rejuvenation simply by their presence in our lives. While their beauty alone can uplift us, according to thousands of flower-essence practitioners around the world, it is the unique energy of each flower, also known as its vibrational “essence,” that holds the power to truly heal.



“Flower essences work on the mental and emotional level to restore health,” explains Nancy Buono, a Bach Foundation registered practitioner and international educator and consultant in the field of flower essences based in Tempe, Ariz. “Our body, mind, and spirit are linked. When we are blocked emotionally, our physical body is affected. Essences facilitate physical healing by clearing the emotional distress and increasing the energy that’s available to the body.”

Flower Therapy is fast becoming the buzzword in complementary medicine. Its safe healing powers and extraordinary ability to bring about a cure that is holistic in nature is creating a revolution of sorts. Its popularity reinforces the need for conventional medicine to take a good look at its practice of treating the disease, not the person.

India’s mind-boggling reservoir of flora and fauna makes it a veritable paradise for practitioners of Flower Therapy, or even just lovers of nature. Though Indian Flower Remedies are only recently being discovered by the world, flowers had woven their delicate petals into the very fabric of Indian society, its rituals and traditions from time immemorial.
It is told that when Lord Buddha, in the course of a journey fell ill ,some Jain priests were able to treat him successfully with nectar served on a lotus petal. The story is an indication of the antiquity of Pushpa Ayurveda (Flower Therapy), which is now gaining attention all over the world.

Pushpa Ayurveda is a special branch of Ayurveda which was developed primarily by Jain priests. They were especially attracted to this therapy as it was closer to the Jain principle of ahimsa. Flower Therapy is the modern version of this age-old treatment existed in ancient India.

flowers have always had a special place in the lives of Indians. It is on the basis of this strong and eternal bond that Indian Flower Therapy continues to bring forth miraculous cures, to heal and to rejuvenate.

Healing emotions
Flowers can actually heal a host of emotional problems including grief, shock, depression, fear, panic, terror, hysteria, anxiety, etc. Moreover it also helps in many physical ailments.

Herbal components come from the small, bright yellow-orange flower heads of C. officinalis. Researchers have also examined the shoots and leaves for active compounds.

An annual, this plant is native to southern Europe and the eastern Mediterranean and now grows in many parts of the United States and Canada. It probably originated in Egypt, where It was valued as a rejuvenating herb. Seeds sown in April, in any soil, in sunny, or half-sunny places germinate freely. They require no other cultivation but to keep them clean from weeds and to thin out where too close, leaving them 9 to 10 inches apart, so that their branches may have room to spread. The plants will begin to flower in June, and continue flowering until the frost kills them. They will increase from year to year, if allowed to seed themselves. The seeds ripen in August and September, and if permitted to scatter will furnish a supply of young plants in the spring.
