FAQ - Frequently asked questions
1. What are flower essences?
Flower essences are vibrational remedies made from the energetic signature of flowers, plants, or trees. They work by harmonizing emotions, calming the mind, and supporting peace and well-being, which are essential for good health.
2. How are flower essences made?
They are created by infusing the energetic imprint of flowers in water and preserving the mixture with alcohol, glycerine, or red shiso. This process captures the flower's healing energy rather than its physical properties.
3. How can I use flower essences?
Essences can be taken internally by placing drops in a glass of water or applied externally to areas such as the wrists, palms, soles of the feet, chakras, or acupuncture points. They can also be added to a bath, vaporized into the air, or used in sprays to introduce their energy into your field.
4. Are flower essences safe for everyone?
Yes, they are safe for all ages, including newborns, pregnant women, and the elderly. For those sensitive to alcohol, essences can be applied topically or added to bath water.
5. How do flower essences differ from essential oils or other remedies?
Unlike essential oils, which contain physical plant extracts, flower essences are energetic remedies. They work through the energy field rather than through physical or biochemical interaction.
6. How do I choose the right flower essence?
Listen to your intuition. You can also use tools like dowsing, kinesiology, or essence cards to guide your choice. Healthcare practitioners may provide recommendations based on your needs.
7. How many flower essences can I use at once?
There are no strict rules. You can use one essence at a time or combine several. While some prefer to mix up to five essences, others have successfully used combinations of 20 or more.
8. How do I make a dosage bottle?
To make a dosage bottle:
- Add 7 drops of each chosen essence to a 30ml dropper bottle.
- Fill the bottle with 70% still mineral water and 30% brandy or vinegar for preservation.
9. Should I take essences directly from the stock bottle or use a dosage bottle?
Both methods are effective. Stock bottles are the first dilution and can be taken directly. Dosage bottles are a second dilution and are ideal for customized combinations.
10. How many drops should I take, and how often?
The number of drops typically ranges from 2 to 11. Essences can be taken once or several times daily, for example in the morning and evening. For acute situations, they can be taken as frequently as every 5 minutes.
11. Can flower essences be mixed with essential oils?
Yes, flower essences can be blended with essential oils to create sprays, massage oils, or creams. Note that some essences, like Petaltone, are for external use only.
12. Are there vibrational remedies besides flower essences?
Yes, other vibrational remedies include crystal energy essences (from minerals) and animal essences, such as those from Pacific Essences and Wild Earth Animal Essences.
13. How do I know if I need a flower essence?
Trust your intuition. If a particular bottle catches your attention or you feel drawn to it, that essence is likely what you need at that moment.
14. How long should I use flower essences?
For most people, regular use over 3 to 4 weeks yields the best results. Taking essences consistently is more important than the number of drops taken each time.
