WHAT ARE FLOWER ESSENCES?

​Flower essences are a form of alternative therapy that involves the use of the vibrational energy of flowers to address emotional and psychological issues.

They are made by infusing flowers in water under sunlight, then diluting and preserving the mixture with alcohol, typically brandy.

This process is believed to capture the healing energy or essence of the flower, which can then be used to help balance emotions and promote mental well-being.

​

Key points about flower essences include:

Origin:

The concept of flower essences was developed by Dr. Edward Bach in the 1930s. He created the Bach Flower Remedies, a system of 38 different flower essences each designed to address specific emotional states.

​

How They Work:

Flower essences are thought to work on an energetic or vibrational level. They are used to address emotional imbalances, such as stress, anxiety, depression, and fear. The idea is that each flower carries a specific vibrational frequency that can help harmonize negative emotional states.

​

Usage:

Flower essences are typically taken orally, a few drops at a time, either directly on the tongue or diluted in water. They can also be added to baths, applied to the skin, or sprayed in the air. The frequency and dosage depend on the specific essence and the individual's needs.

​

Safety and Side Effects:

Flower essences are generally considered safe with no known side effects or risk of overdose. They can be used by people of all ages, including children and pregnant women.​

​

Popular Brands and Systems: Apart from the Bach Flower Remedies, other systems of flower essences have been developed, such as the Australian Bush Flower Essences, and Findhorn Flower  Essences.

​

Overall, flower essences are used as a complementary therapy to support emotional well-being and are part of a broader category of vibrational and energy-based healing practices.

I mainly use Findhorn Flower Essences, The Australian Bush Flower Essences and Bach Flower Essences in my practice.
