This is a descriptive study carried out at the traditional and natural medicine clinic of the teaching hospital Faustino Pérez of Matanzas with the purpose of evaluating the clinical evolution of the patients with external cause dermatitis using flower therapy by transpersonal pattern. We took 100 ml of hydrating cream and added 5 drops of each flower essence, indicating it to the patients three times a day. It was used as fomentation when it was necessary, adding the same quantity of drops; the flowers were selected taking into account the changes at the skin status, the symptoms and the proper signs of the disease. We obtained the following results: 82.2 % of the patients began to feel an improvement of the lesions during the first 24 h of the treatment. The status of the skin of 95.1 % of the patients improved considerably after ten days from the beginning of the treatment, and only in 3 patients, lesions did not showed any change. The symptoms and signs that better and faster evolved were the pruritus, burning, and erythema. The highest incidence of the external cause dermatitis; 43.5 % of the cases was in the feet, followed by arms and face, being the less frequent the thorax with only 6 %. The lesions remitted totally in 10 treatment sessions. We arrived to the conclusion that this kind of therapy is effective.
