Testimonials featuring Old Man Banksia

HC is a 52-year-old woman. She is separated from her husband and has five adult children. HC has suffered severe depression, a lack of motivation and very low self-esteem. Her marriage was extremely violent and her communication with three of her children had broken down considerably. HC lives alone and was not motivated to take care of herself. She also lacked a support system of friends.

The two remedies that came to mind Fringed Violet and Old Man Banksia. I started HC on a short course of Fringed Violet. This gave her a sense of balance and clarity. It also paved the way for healing her old hurts and taking more care of herself. She started seeing that she wasn’t to blame for what happened.

We then continued with Old Man Banksia for six weeks. During this time we talked about other lifestyle factors such as nutrition, exercise, thought patterns and empowerment. This counselling has continued over the past few months. As a result, HC has developed a completely new attitude. She eats a healthy, balanced, vegetarian diet and is motivated to take care of herself. She has started her own business and has even healed many of the scars with her children.

Since I first purchased the Woman essence months ago, I take it every single day without fail. The benefits I've experienced have been beyond what I hoped. There have been huge improvements in my emotional balance, I have a better sense of wellbeing and have developed greater self-love. I LIKE seeing myself in photos now. I have a new appreciation for my wildly curly hair. And perhaps most important, I don't belittle my body and appearance the way I used to. Thank you, Ian White, for the life-changing products you make available to us through your gifts and connection to the natural world. I am grateful!

Lovely rich night cream, but not too heavy. I enjoy putting this on at the end of the day and appreciate the natural ingredients and emotional support of the flower essences

I first noticed ABFE products several years ago in a health shop. I bought a bottle of Dynamis oral drops. While I was intrigued I was also sceptical and didn’t expect to get a result, or feel noticeably different in any way. I’m surprised I even bought them but I’m grateful I did. After about 2 weeks of taking the drops morning & night I noticed an improvement in my mood, enthusiasm and motivation. I was so sure that they wouldn’t help that I doubted myself, wondering if I was imagining it somehow. I’ve since used them many times when I’m feeling low and unable to shift myself out of the low mood > lack of motivation > low mood cycle. Dynamis has been my reliable “go to” essence ever since. In fact I’ve been so happy with the Dynamis drops that I only started exploring other essences about 4 or 5 months ago.

I’ve had my Flower Essence kit for about a year now. I’ve loved the process of learning how to work with them.  My family have been willing victims of my administrations.

My eldest daughter has been the most responsive. The first remedy combination I tried with her was the Dynamis Essence as she seemed to be always weary, having no oomph or enthusiasm for anything outside of the school routine. After taking the drops for a month a steady increase in her wellbeing level became obvious and has been maintained for over a year now.  She happily pursues a full and rich variety of activities.
