FLOWER ESSENCE REMEDIES
“The history of flower essence therapy dates back to the 16th century and spans many cultures. It started with the great healer and mystic Paracelsus who collected the dew from flowers to treat his patients’ emotional imbalances. The culture was also known to the Australian aborigines, the Egyptians, Malays and Africans and was probably used by other ancient civilisations. It was virtually lost until the great revision and expansion led by Dr Edward Bach in the 1930’s. More recently Sydney naturopath Ian White has followed in his footsteps, applying the age old method to the flowering plants of the Australian bush.
The Bach and Australian Bush Flower essences are an essential part of today’s holistic approach to healing. They have been found to be extremely effective for horses and other animals who often react more quickly to them than humans do. There can be no placebo effect with animals.” (Reproduced from The Complete Horse Herbal)

Testimonials
“I have known Victoria Ferguson for 40 years and have worked with her in the stud cattle and horse industries on many occasions during that time. Her father the late Gordon Ferguson was a highly respected stud cattle breeder of Droughtmasters and one of the first Charolais breeders in Australia. That environment gave Victoria sound knowledge and experience in the health management and nutrition of cattle, as well as other domestic animals.
Victoria’s new book The Complete Horse Herbal is a great reference book and a must read for all horse owners.”
Trevor Wozencroft, Equine Photonic Therapist and former Stud Manager
