How to Take Flower Essences You can take 5 to 7 drops of the essence under the tongue three times a day, or, add one half dropper full to your daily water bottle. You may choose to do both. You may also bathe with the flower essences by dropping a dropper full of your essence into a bath, and, you can apply the essence topically on the soles of the feet, the inside of the wrist, the nape of the neck, and more carefully, the temples and the center of the forehead. It is often suggested that the essences be taken first thing in the morning, and, again, when retiring for bed. The essences must be stored in a cool, dry area in order to preserve their shelf life. They may grow mold or bacteria if left in the hot sun or are exposed to excessive light. Do not keep them in a hot car or room in your home, especially if you are storing stock bottles for use as a practitioner. Enjoy the splendor of your flower essences... and may you prosper and live well.

What Are Flower Essences?

A Flower Essence is a living energetic medicine made from the biological imprint of the living plant's vibrations in water. The Flower Essences are created and preserved in pure spring water and brandy, and taken orally under the tongue or applied to the body. When a person places a few drops of a flower's essence under the tongue, the energy of the flower, vibrating at its own special frequencies, floods one's aura. The flower's vibrations are now within the body/aura's vibrations and the flower's vibrations will harmonize the body/aura vibrations to its own special harmonies, with the help of the flower's signature vibrations.

Flower Essences are water-based solutions which contain the essential energies of flowers. They are made by floating flowers in water and allowing the light of the sun, or the moon or the stars, to help the water to absorb the particular energy signature of the flowers. The structure of water is such that it easily stores these vibrational signatures within itself.

The simplicity and beauty of the essences offer a healing modality that is beneficial and gentle to all including babies, animals, children, adults, and even plants and environmental spaces. The essences assist us in our dreaming and waking world. The effects are often subtle. In time, the essences shift the energetic field of the body offering the healing benefits that each flower has to give.

How Flower Essences Work

Flower Essences are not to be confused with Aromatherapy, a form of plant and flower therapy that uses the scent and aroma of the plant to stimulate brain communication with the body. Flower Essence therapy is an oral treatment that has a profound effect on correcting physical imbalances, impurities, and disease.

Dr. Bach and Using Flower Essences to Cure Dis-ease

The essences contain the energetic vibrations and so the healing energies of the flowers from which they are made. In the words of Dr. Bach, "they cure by flooding our bodies with beautiful vibrations of Higher Nature which melt dis-ease like snow in the sunshine." Dr. Bach's theory is that we are born perfect, but life stresses make us develop defenses and ways of coping, and these pull us out of alignment with our spirit. Distress at the level of spirit is translated into physical dis-ease. Bach saw dis-ease as a way that our spirit tells us how our attitudes or behavior are getting in the way of our health. Unhealthy emotional patterns can cause tensions of energy within the body, tightness in the muscles and these block the natural flow of energies in our bodies, and so parts of us cease to vibrate in harmony with the whole. In our healing of our unhealthy patterns, we relieve any physical dis-ease we have collected.

Dr. Bach taught that if we help people to emotional harmony, they will be healthy. He demonstrated that two people who experience debilitating fear may have different physical ailments, but a remedy that helps this fear will heal the ailments of both. Similarly, two people with similar cases of eczema but different emotions disturbing their peace can both have their eczema healed by taking remedies appropriate to their emotional symptoms.
