Aboriginal Guidance for the flower essences of Love Remedies
Juta Stepanovs
The Love Remedies have brought my clients and myself many gifts. The discovery of this new method took place through life´s strange coincidences in 1996.
Love Remedies Flower Essences were born unexpectedly when my colleague, Harald W. Tietze and I met Dr. med. Ingfried Hobert.
Harald had written many self-help books on natural remedies and he has good contacts with Aboriginal healers.
At that time, he and i were developing and marketing herbal remedies and other natural products, so we visited
Guboo
the famous Aboriginal Elder from Wallaga Lake in New South Wales, his doughter Lynne and the renowned Anne Thomas, another Aboriginal Elder.
But the seeds for the Love Remedies were planted thanks to our next contact, Eddi Kneebone from Victoria.
Eddi was a walking encyclopaedia of Aboriginal knowledge and he showed us many ways Aborigines used flowers to treat certain diseases.
Eddi happened to mention that his people healed with Bottlebrush flowers, by pouring water over them many times while they were still growing on the bush, and drank the water.
The fact that they did not have to cut the flowers for healing fascinated me.
My first thoughts were, "What a beautiful, respectful way to treat plant! And you can even reuse the same flower after a few days, because that plant life cycle is not disturbed."
Then I realised that they were not only drinking the water from the plants but also receiving plant energy healing, similar to flower essences.
