Dear Asker,

As the colleagues before me pointed out, it is not possible to be of much help unless you provide us with *context* as we call it here :-)

When we hear the words "Egypt" and "flower" in combination, the first thing that comes to mind is "lotus", and Jerrie's answer above is very likely to be what you're looking for. However, as a short search on the net convinced me, asking about "an Egyptian healing flower" without any particulars is like trying to know what "a German beer" would be. It seems ancient Egyptians made use of many flowers for healing purposes - from poppy and lily, to daisy and mandrake. So, your context is essential here: is it ancient Egyptian religion, or latter-day witches, feng shui or homeopathy, tarot or astrology?

In case you are willing to do a little research yourself, the following are a few of the webpages I've come across:

SORRY! \"tarot or astrology\" above should correct as \"tarot or archaeology\" (slip of key, must be because it followed tarot :-), as in one of the links i give above there is the \"flower of life\" which is an architectural floral pattern, found in some egyptian temples -like the one in abydos- among other places, and which symbolizes an all-healing, all-explaining, all-encompassing and all and everything universal power.
