Frequently Asked Questions
Why flower essences?
Physical health stands on the shoulders of emotional health. Addressing this foundational aspect is necessary for whole body healing to take place. True emotional wellbeing goes beyond considering how a prolonged stress response impacts our health by also considering the early life experiences that shaped who we are today. Flower essences provide a means from which we can begin to recognize the impact of these profound experiences by supporting their release.
Who are they for?
Every profound experience in our lives shapes and alters the direction of our life’s journey. The way we make decisions, our level of confidence, how we handle stress, and how we react to triggers – all stem from these pivotal moments. So often, we are not consciously aware of their impact on us, but whatever we are struggling with in the present has its roots in the past.
Everyone can benefit from flower essences, whether you are looking for general stress reduction or have serious health conditions and know you want to explore healing at a deeper level. Flower essences support emotional awareness, calm the nervous system and help restore the body to its natural state of balance.
What are flower essences?
Flower essences are the vibrational extract of flowers in water, preserved with brandy. Flowers are the culmination of a plant’s fullest expression – its essence – and provide the strongest energetic medium from which to make them. Flower essences are ideally suited to mental and emotional wellbeing, and any physical conditions that may stem from this origin.
What are gem essences?
Gem essences are the vibrational extract of gems in water, preserved with brandy. The term ‘gem’ is used to include the mineral world from diamonds, rubies and gold to quartz, obsidian and chondrite. Gems support the healing of physical symptoms but often impact emotional wellbeing as a secondary benefit.
What are animal essences?
Animal essences are the vibrational extract of an animal’s healing qualities in water, preserved with brandy. These essences capture the energetic imprint of an animal without containing any physical animal parts. Animal essences support the enhancement of the body’s vital force – the innate healing ability that resides in all of us – and is ideally suited for anyone wanting support with deep healing or improved vitality as they age.
How long have flower essences been around?
While Dr. Edward Bach (circa 1930) is credited with bringing Flower Essences into the format we know today, we have documentation suggesting the use of flower essences – or the dew of flowers – as a potent healing remedy dating back to the Egyptians.

How do I take my blend?
Essences are best taken by drops placed under the tongue for fastest absorption. For best results, essences should be taken daily until the bottle is empty. Each custom blend has different dose recommendations:
Custom Flower Essence Blend: 4 drops, 4x per day
Body to Soul Custom Blend: 6 drops, 3x per day
Vital Force Custom Blend: 7 drops, 2x per day
How long should I take them?
Cellular renewal occurs roughly every four months, with the body undergoing complete cellular turnover approximately every nine years. While benefits are often noticed after the first blend, we recommend at minimum, taking custom blends spanning the course of the four-month cellular renewal process.
Based on the different dosages, each custom blend will last a different length of time:
Custom Flower Essence Blend: 3 weeks | 5 blends
Body to Soul Custom Blend: 4 weeks | 4 blends
Vital Force Custom Blend: 5 weeks | 3 blends
How do I use Heal Thyself?
Heal Thyself is a pre-formulated support blend that can be used in one of two ways:
- As an adjuvant to your existing custom blend. Heal Thyself supports the release and clearing of uncomfortable emotions as they arise,
- As an emergency blend to help support clearing whatever emotions may arise day-to-day.
Take 3 drops as needed, as often as needed.
Are there any safety considerations with flower essences?
Essences are an energetic modality. They contain no discernible physical plant constituents and do not interact with the body on a physiological level. There are no drug contraindications and are safe to take alongside any existing supplements or medication. While essences are very safe and are suitable for all ages, we do not recommend taking them during pregnancy.
