Dr Andrew Tresidder - Flower Essences to support patient empowerment

Dr Andrew Tresidder is a Somerset GP who believes that the secret of good health lies in the natural world. “Medicine, surgery and pills definitely have their place” he says, “but if you want your health to blossom, you have to build it up in other ways, and not just treat disease”.  Flower Essences can help us achieve greater health and happiness.Dr Andrew Tresidder has been an NHS GP in Chard, Somerset since 1989.  His philosophy is to provide the best of orthodox medicine, but also to be aware of the many other factors that influence health.  “We don't have to feel unwell to want to feel better,” he says.  “At a profound level, energy from nature – or the feelings it evokes in us – helps us transform ourselves.  Flower essences for instance contain a healing vibration that catalyses change and enables transformation on emotional, mental and spiritual levels to take place. In some ways they are the easy accessible self-help tools for personal growth.”Dr Andrew’s talk draws on his years of practical experience in the South West.  “I’ve practiced Family Medicine in Somerset for twenty years,” he says.  “In my experience when people feel well, they heal well.  It seems that nature has the ability to help us retune ourselves, and help bring us back into balance.”  Dr Andrew is the author of I'm Fine! Learning to Unblock Your Emotions and the writer and presenter of the DVD Nature’s Alchemy, which can be seen at the online Spirit Enlightened Festivalhttp://www.cultureunplugged.com/documentary/watch-online/play/50397/Nature-s-AlchemyDr Andrew's website is www.drandrew.co.uk
