Bach Flower Remedies For Women

Details

A constructive and comprehensively detailed account of womanhood, which explores the trials, joys, sorrows, discontements and pleasures, encountered through a woman's life.

The emphasis is placed on the emotional aspects, which can play havoc with the transition from one milestone to the next.

Negative moods which interfere with happiness can be overcome by the subtle properties of the gentle system of healing discovered by the late Dr. Edward Bach.
