Our Mission

The mission of The Institute for the Education and Research of Flower Essences is to teach and inspire healthcare professionals and institutions about the integration of flower essences with healthcare protocols. The implementation of this mission is twofold. First, to provide quality educational programs and training on the use of flower essences in the healthcare setting. Second, to conduct clinical research on the effects of the integration of flower essences in protocols of hospitals and other healing institutions around the world.

The founder, Wendy Mauntel, has over 30 years experience as a healthcare practitioner in allopathic and natural approaches to healing. Her research indicates that flower essences have been successfully proven to have a positive effect in addressing nausea, pain, and anxiety in a clinical setting. As a result, flower essences are joining the host of other alternative healing modalities that have been proven effective in clinical settings.

Flower essences, sometimes called vibrational or energetic medicine, are an emerging and exciting field of medicine. Human beings are not just physical bodies but also exist on emotional, mental, and spiritual levels. Many healthcare institutions today refer to this as the mind/body connection. It is on these subtle levels that flower essences work. Since flower essences are vibrational, or distinct energetic imprints found in nature, they work with the human body in perfect synergy.

Flower essences are a noninvasive, easy-to-administer treatment with no known contraindications for any illness, drug, or other medical treatments. In fact, flower essences have been shown to augment or enhance the effect of other treatment modalities.

The Institute for the Education and Research of Flower Essences, in conjunction with the staff at Henry Ford Macomb Hospitals Wellspring Holistic Services, is participating in pioneering research that measures the impact of flower essences on pain, nausea, and anxiety in patients in the clinical setting. The results of this study show that pain, nausea, and anxiety are all significantly decreased with the use and application of flower essences.

Here, at The Institute for the Education and Research of Flower Essences, it is our goal to set and maintain the highest standards for the education and training of medical staff and ancillary care personnel in the concepts, methodology, and application of flower essences. This is accomplished through on site interactive training programs that are designed to meet the unique needs of each healthcare institution.
