FLORES DE BUSH
Las Esencias de Bush son un sistema de curación que cualquiera puede usar por sí mismo o prescribir para otros. Aunque los remedios florales han sido utilizados por muchas culturas durante miles de años, las Esencias Florales de Bush australiano satisfacen la gran necesidad de remedios que ayuden a las personas a abordar los problemas del siglo XXI: sexualidad, habilidades de comunicación y espiritualidad, por nombrar solo algunos. La respuesta a esta necesidad (que proviene de las plantas australianas), ha sido desarrollada e investigada por Naturopath, Ian White, un herbolario australiano de quinta generación. Ian creció en el monte australiano. Cuando era un niño, su abuela, como su madre antes que ella, se especializaba en el uso de plantas australianas y, a menudo, lo llevaba a caminar. Desde su profunda comprensión, ella señalaría las muchas plantas y flores curativas. Aprendió un profundo respeto por la naturaleza a través de ella y se convirtió en practicante y pionero en el trabajo y la investigación de las raras cualidades de recuperación de las plantas nativas australianas.
