Flower Essences

Flower Essences are herbal infusions or decoctions, made from the flowering part of the plant, which uniquely address emotional and mental aspects of wellness. The first 38 flower remedies were formulated by a British physician, Dr. Edward Bach, in the 1930’s, although new remedies from other plant species are now available.

Flower essences work by a principle of resonance.  Flower essences are energetic imprints of the life force of plants which interact with the subtle bodies of the human being, and evoke specific qualities within us. These subtle yet powerful remedies help us to take a step back from the issue at hand and see it from a distance so that we can better respond to the situation, rather than react to it.  We can say that they work in a similar way to inspirational music or art, which carry meaning through the vehicle of sound or light, while the flower essences work through the medium of water.

These remedies will be most effective and noticeable when they actually match the core mental or emotional challenges you face. If you are addressing only surface symptoms or fleeting feelings, you may not notice much impact from the flower essences.

Flower Essences are typically taken orally from a dropper bottle.  Several flower essences can be taken together, mixed in a dosage bottle or glass of water.
