But the book is so much more: a full application of the science of subtle medicine with clarification and advice for good practice. -- Julian Barnard, Healing Herbs Sue guides us from the basic elements of an essence, the water of life, with its unique properties and ability to flow, to the myriad of different types of essences now made across the globe. -- From the foreword by Tony Pinkus, Director, Ainsworths Homeopathic Pharmacy, London Flower essences are becoming more widely recognized for their ability to help all living beings enjoy a higher quality of life. Ms. Lilly's excellent book is a wellspring of supportive information to further their message, for practitioners as well as their clients. -- Lila Devi, founder of Spirit-in-Nature Essences established 1977, and author, including The Essential Flower Essence Handbook
