Flowers have been a source of inspiration for poets, authors, and artists throughout history, symbolizing the full range of human experiences. From vibrant red peonies to sweet-smelling primroses, exotic lilies, and heavenly-scented roses, flowers have the power to reconnect us with the conscious intelligence of nature that we are a part of and to heal our ills in countless ways.

Healing with Flowers, Anne McIntyre's revised and expanded edition of her previous work, The Complete Floral Healer, tells the story of flowers and reminds us of their significance, which is as powerful today as it was in ancient times. Beautifully illustrated with vibrant color photographs by Julie Bruton-Seal, the book explores sixty-four flowers from around the world, from Yarrow (Achillea millefolium) to Heartsease (Viola tricolor), alongside chapters on edible flowers, growing and gathering, and distilling flowers. Each flower entry reveals the plant's historical and folkloric importance, details the modern medicinal use of the flower as a herbal remedy relating to its biochemical constituents, and explores its use in aromatherapy, homoeopathy, and as a flower essence.

A deeper understanding of the unique character of each flower—its story, personality, and energy—is woven through this book, making it a valuable resource for anyone who loves flowers, as well as gardeners and herbalists alike.
