For approximately 2,000 years, Maca has been an important traditional food and medicinal plant in the Andes of Peru and Bolivia, where it is well-known and highly respected for is medicinal qualities. The Peruvians regard it as a highly nutritious, energy enhancing food, and as a medicine that increases strength, endurance. Ancient Inca Imperial Warriors reputably ate Maca before a battle to increase their strength and power.

Maca has been used for centuries to increase energy and fertility, and has a reputation as an aphrodisiac.

It is popular with menopausal women to prevent and treat the unpleasant symptoms of menopause, and can also be used during the child bearing years to regulate the menstrual cycle.

As with all herbs, avoid in pregnancy unless specifically recommended to you by a qualified herbalist.

The Australian Bush Flower Essences College Course is 16 hours in length and is available in various formats to make it more accessible. These include weekend and midweek dates. You do not need to have ever used an essence before or to have been to any other Australian Bush Flower Essence course to attend this one.

It is a stand alone course and you do not need to do Part 2.

This beautiful course is for everyone with an interest in natural healing either for themselves, their family, or professionally.

The College course was developed by, and is fully accredited by, Australian Bush Flower Essences and has been taught in naturopathic colleges for over 20 years. However because it contains such valuable knowledge (that anyone can use), it is now being made available to members of the community and practitioners in more informal venues outside major cities.

If you have already attended the weekend and one day workshops, you will find the information in this course new, and from a different perspective.

However, you don’t need to know anything about flower essences or natural healing to do this course, nor even have an intention of using the essences on anyone other than yourself, your family, pets and friends. We start with the basics and by the end you will be a confident and competent flower essence practitioner.

If you are a professionally qualified practitioner, you will find this information exceptionally useful in your clinical practice, enhancing your existing knowledge base and modality.

You will learn:

• The history of the development of Flower Essences
• How Flower Essences work
• The Doctrine of Signatures
• The Healing Power of Nature
• Human subtle energy anatomy (the chakras and the aura).
• How thoughts and emotions affect wellbeing
• The cutting edge science validating the ancient healing systems of Ayevedic Medicine and Traditional Chinese Medicine.
• Major emotional issues and corresponding Essences for each theme
• All 69 Essences in the Australian Bush Flower range
• Our ready made combinations
• How to actually prepare an individual Flower Essence, which you then take home, use, and observe its effects
• Different methods of Bush Essence application

Further, as a journey through the chakras, this course has the potential to be a gentle yet profound healing experience on a personal level. Many people describe it as life changing.

At the conclusion of the course, you will receive a Certificate from Australian Bush Flower Essences, equal to that obtained by naturopathic students who have completed this course in formal Naturopathic Colleges. An additional qualification of “Advanced Practitioner Certificate” is available upon submission of three cases histories of suitable quality after course completion.

Energy medicine is at the forefront of creating a whole new world of options and outcomes, not just for practitioners, but for everyone. The Australian Bush Flower Essence College Course explores and teaches this new paradigm of health and wellbeing based on subtle energy systems, creating new opportunities for “healing in the whole person”.

Rosehip

(Rosa canina and Rosa Rubiginosa)

One of my favourites, with a tangy berry flavour. Rosehips is made from the his of the common Dogrose, with Rosa Rubiginosa being the Australian variety.

Rosehips are high in Iron, Copper, Vitamin P and Vitamin K, making useful for everyone, especially pregnant ladies.  One cup of Rosehips tea will also provide your full daily allowance of Vitamin C.

A tonic for the adrenal glands and high in energy, Rosehips tea provides you with excellent support when you are feeling tired or stressed. It gives an equivalent boost as a cup of coffee, but is health enhancing rather than health depleting.

Try it hot in Winter either by itself or with some cinnamon or chilled in Summer with a slice or lemon.

Professional herbalists also use this in its concentrated form as an extract to achieve its many beneficial effects even faster.
