Bach Flower Inspirational Cards Review

Mind Body & Soul Ezine Card Deck Review: Bach Flower Inspirational Cards by Gianmarco Canapini with artwork by Antonella Castelli, published by Lo Scarabeo, 38 cards with booklet in English, Italian, Spanish, French and Dutch.

Quality box with flip magnetic lid contains individually created cards, 3.25 inches by 5.75 inches in size, with the instruction booklet. Explanation is provided about flower and tree essences which were devised by medical doctor, Edward Bach 100 years ago in the U.K., known as Bach Flower Remedies. He was influenced by homeopathy and personality profiling, and his remedies relate to twelve behavioural characteristics. A short biography about him and his work is supplied, with information on how to read the cards. 


Reading is simple. Choose a card and look up the meaning. It is then suggested you contact an expert - the cards do not provide a definitive meaning. By law, if you have symptoms of an illness, you must see a qualified medical doctor for tests, diagnosis and a proven treatment. There is not a lot of information about each card in the booklet, so I advise you get to a thorough book on the Bach Remedies. These cards are random choices, not based on interviews with a specialist. 

Each artwork is of a pretty and slim girl/woman with a flower and leaf of the essence that she represents, with a 40 word explanation about each card! The cards are suitable for someone newly investigating the qualities of Bach Flower Remedies. Put them to the test!

I have randomly chosen the card of Willow as a sample with its write-up from the booklet: Self- responsibility makes you free. You feel that you can sail your ship even with head winds. Complaining will get you nowhere. Find the right strategy and strength to move on. Bon Voyage! Beautiful artwork, ideal as a gift or for a reading for young women.
