A descriptive, linear and prospective study was made in 40 patients presented with symptoms related to andropause, and came to Flower Therapy Consultation to assess usefulnes of this type of therapy in treatment of symptoms. In all patientes we carried out a survey and  treatment was prescribed, when this latter was concluded they were assessed allowing analysis of symptoms evolution. In study sample we found that the more frequent psychological symptoms are anxiety, depression and irritability. These symptoms were those with a more favourable evolution when second treatment was concluded. By other hand, physical symptoms also had a improvement percentage in this stage.
