Flower Essences are made using only the blossom of the flower. The fresh dew that gathers on the blossom is an integral part of flower essence practice. The dew-gathered blossom is put into a bowl filled with spring water and placed in the sunlight.
The warmth and light of the sun create an energetic imprint or energy pattern of the flower, which can then be matched to the archetypal themes of our personalities or souls.
Flower essences, like homeopathic remedies, focus on energetic principles versus biochemical principles; they work with the healing process rather than simply suppressing symptoms. In traditional homeopathy, for example, therapeutically active micro-doses of mineral, botanical and biological substances are extracted and then used in a remedy.
A helpful way to think of the flower essence’s impact on our body of life energy is that of how music can influence our thoughts, feelings, and emotions. While music’s vehicle is sound, flower essences’ medium is water.
The flower essence from the spring water bowl, which is also called the Mother Tincture is preserved in alcohol and then diluted and potentized. The standard dose is 4 drops, taken orally four times a day. The tincture is kept in a glass bottle out of direct sunlight to protect the energetic properties. Different flower blossoms (singular or blended) help to balance and integrate our polarities for our overall health and well being. Polarities of our mental and emotional state will include mood, type, environment, event, etc.
