What it is

Flower essences are vibrational remedies made by infusing the energetic imprint of fresh flowers into water, often preserved with a small amount of brandy or glycerin. Unlike herbal extracts, they contain no plant matter or physical medicinal compounds—they work entirely on the energetic and emotional level.

Origins & Traditions

The use of flowers for healing is an ancient practice found in many cultures. Modern flower essence therapy was popularized in the 1930s by Dr. Edward Bach, who developed the well-known Bach Flower Remedies. Since then, practitioners around the world have created unique essences to support emotional balance, spiritual growth, and inner harmony.

How it works

Flower essences are believed to carry the subtle vibrational frequency of the flower they come from. When taken, this frequency interacts with the body’s own energy field, helping to gently shift patterns, dissolve blockages, and restore balance on an emotional and spiritual level.

Benefits

When to use it

Flower essences can be used daily for ongoing support, during periods of stress or emotional challenge, or to anchor intentions during personal or ceremonial work.

What to expect

Flower essences are usually taken orally in drops under the tongue or in water. They are subtle yet powerful—shifts may be gentle and gradual, often noticed as changes in mood, outlook, or emotional resilience.

A note on respect & intention

Flower essences are allies in the language of the heart and spirit. Work with them intentionally, listening for the teachings each essence carries, and honoring the plants from which they come.
