CONTRERA VEGA, Noraima; CEDENO RODRIGUEZ, Enriqueta y VAZQUEZ SANCHEZ, Monserrat. Effectiveness of Bach flower therapy in patients with chronic alcoholism. MEDISAN [online]. 2012, vol.16, n.4, pp. 519-525. ISSN 1029-3019.
A therapeutic intervention was performed in 15 patients with chronic alcoholism, belonging to the Working Basic Group No. 3 of "Armando García Aspurú" Teaching Polyclinic in Santiago de Cuba, from June 2008 to February 2009, in order to evaluate the effectiveness of Bach flower therapy in the treatment of these patients, thus applying a therapeutic regimen generally first and then individually. The arithmetic mean to quantify the data, the standard deviation to estimate the variability and the percentage as summary measure were used, with a 95% confidence interval. The favorable course observed in most of them demonstrated the usefulness of this therapy to reduce psychosomatic manifestations of anxiety, depression and insomnia and improve the life quality of both patients and their families.
