Bach remedies in medical practice

Director of Shin-Zushi Clinic, Zushi-City, Japan

Since 1996 I have been using Bach Flower Remedies for patients coming to my clinic and for patients who receive medical treatment in a home visit. I specialize in psychosomatic medicine, usual internal medicine, pediatrics and terminal care. I graduated from the medical school seventeen years ago, spending the first five years training in a general hospital, then two years working in a hospice. After that I became the general practitioner, focusing on terminal care in the home and always try to use Bach Flower Remedies.

Using actual cases where there has been successful treatment with flower remedies I will also explain these cases combining the view point of Anthroposophical Medicine with that of Dr Edward Bach. I will also consider the view point of Immunomodulation by the Autonomic Nervous System theory - the medical theory established by Professor Toru Abo, famous director of immunology division of Niigata University medical school in Japan.
