Flower Essences

Flower essences are liquid extracts, that are used to address issues of emotional well-being, the development of the soul, mind-body and health. They are generally taken in orally. Flower essences are generally prepared from a sun infusion of either wildflowers or pristine garden blossoms in a bowl of water, which is further diluted, it’s potency increased, and preserved with brandy.

The quality of the environment, the vibrancy of the place and meteorological conditions are important. Like Homeopathic remedies, Flower Essences are vibrational in nature. Flower Essences work through the human energy fields, the mental, emotional, and physical well-being. The specific structure and shape of the life forces conveyed by each Flower Essence resonate within the human soul.
