Flower Essences
What are flower essences?
Flower essences are a special kind of medicine. They are a low dose, energetic medicine and are safe for people of all ages. They work on the subtle bodies, and are known to support emotional, spiritual and mental well being and in turn, can positively impact our physical and overall health. Flower essences are a wonderful addition to any holistic wellness journey, as they provide us much needed and often neglected energetic support.
How do they work?
Everything in the universe has it's own energetic vibration. Flower essences are created by using water as a medium to capture and create an imprint of the vibration of the flower. This vibration is then imparted to us when we use the flower essence, and resonate with our own energetic vibrations helping us to re calibrate our energetic expressions. This creates a harmonic resonance within our energies that allows for stagnant or discordant energies to be re aligned. This process can help to move stuck emotions, create deeper spiritual connections, and support our mental health. Each type of flower carries it's own unique vibration and flower essences can be taken as singles, or as blends.
How are they made?
Water has memory. This is something that has been understood by traditional healers for many years and is more recently being supported by scientific studies. Flower essences are made by imprinting water with the vibrational frequency of a type of flower. This water is then preserved with alcohol (we use brandy), creating what's known as the “mother” essence. To create an effective and potent flower essence, the “mother” is diluted and succussed (shaken, we shake ours 108 times per cycle) many times. Optimal dilution is generally considered to be between 6-10 times. This allows the energetic frequency of the essence to be at an optimum vibration to act on our own subtle bodies. We dilute ours 6 times, which give you the most flexibility with how to use your essence. They can be used directly from the bottle or diluted up to 4 times further.
How to use flower essences:
Flower essences can be used internally, topically or even diffused into a space.
To use them internally, the dose is generally around 4 drops which can be taken either straight from the bottle, or diluted into a glass or bottle of water and sipped throughout the day.
For topical use, essences can be applied directly to the skin in drop doses, added to skincare products or put in bath water (one of our favourite ways).
They may also be diffused into a space by adding a few drops to a humidifier or essential oil diffuser, or by adding to a spray bottle of water or natural room spray.
