Abstract

YANES CALDERON, Margeris  and  ALFONSO ORTA, Ismary. Floral therapy: an alternative treatment for the middle-age. Rev Cubana Med Gen Integr [online]. 2005, vol.21, n.1-2. ISSN 0864-2125.

A paper directed to the family physicians on the application of Bach's floral remedies (essence oils and elixirs) during the climateric period was made. The 5 floral elixirs that have been prescribed the most at the climacteric office of "Ana Betancourt" Teaching Polyclinic, in Playa municipality, Havana City, as well as their mode of preparation and administration are described. Some new generation floral essences that due to their vibration and quality may be indicated at this stage of females' life, are mentioned. In those middle-aged women (climacteric) among whom the psychological symptoms prevailed over the circulatory, genitourinary and general symptoms, the floral therapy constitutes an alternative treatment to improve their quality of life.

Keywords : Climacteric; floral therapy.
