Flower essences are liquid remedies that are made by infusing flowers in water and sunlight and preserved with brandy.  Flower essences can be a very beneficial part of the healing process because they work on the emotional aspect of healing.  Quite often physical ailments and diseases are the result of deep-seated emotional issues.  Our modern day society often does not take the time to honor the healing process.  Many of us are rushed to “get over it” after we have experienced emotional turmoil.  Some of us don’t even know when or where the trauma occurred.  Issues that have been left unresolved do not dissipate on there own; they are often stored deep in the mental and physical body.  Where as drugs and herbs are used to treat physical and emotional illness, flower essences work on a deeper level helping assist energetic changes in the body.  Flower essences gently encourage deep emotional and mental changes in the consciousness, which continue to be a part of our lives even after we stop taking them.

HOW DO FLOWER ESSENCES DIFFER FROM HERBAL REMEDIES?

Flower Essences have much in common with herbal remedies.  They share a history of using plant medicine derived from the earth. They both work with, rather than suppress, the healing process.  Herbal remedies are prepared using many parts of the plants including the roots, stems, leaves, flowers, fruits and seeds which can be made into infusions, decoctions and tinctures (to name a few).  Flower essences are prepared using only the fresh flower combined with pure water and a small amount of brandy as a natural preservative.   Several essences may be combined to make a specific blend for the individual.  Both herbal remedies and flower essences can have a remarkable effect on the human body when used solely or in conjunction with one another.

HOW TO USE FLOWER ESSENCES  

Flower essences are usually administered in a one-ounce glass dropper bottle called a dosage bottle.  The common dosage is four drops under the tongue or in a small amount of water, four times a day.  A one-ounce bottle will last approximately three weeks to one month.  Flower essences can also be used topically and in the bath.  The effects of flower essence are subtle and very gentle, yet profound. Flower essences are often the key component to completely healing all levels of the body.
