Handcrafted Flower Essences

A custom blend created just for you with the magic of the flowers.

Have you ever been drawn to a flower?

And you didn’t really know why.

But you just really loved to look at it?

Sometimes it is because there is something within this flower that is incredibly helpful and healing.

What are Flower Essences?

Flower essences are an energetic form of plant medicine that contain the “signature” of a flower in water.

Every different plant has specific properties to support emotional well-being, mindbody connection, and spiritual growth.

Flower essences stimulate awareness, insight, and soul growth as we walk our path here on Earth.

They are also known as Flower Remedies, and many people have taken the Bach Rescue Remedy in a stressful moment…though they may not have known there is a whole fields of flowers out there to help!

My favourite definition is that they are soul helpers from the Plant Spirit World.

I make Flower Essences from plants in and around the Kootenay Ranges to get in touch with the potency of our local medicine.

I also use Bach Flower Remedies and Flower Essences Services (FES) in my blends. I currently work with well over one hundred different essences, and you’ll find a list of (most of them) below. I’m still adding to the below repertory!

I prepare Handcrafted Flower Essences in a 1 ounce dropper bottle, which also has water and a small amount of brandy as a preservative.

How do Flower Essences help?

Flower Essences work on the energetic level of an issue and help to advance our conscious awareness of ourselves.

They are a form of vibrational medicine, similar and yet different to homeopathic medicines. (Homeopathics are often made from toxic materials and diluted down. Whereas Flower Essences are made from plants at the peak of their expression and it is more the inherent wisdom from that plant coming through to help).

Many take Flower Essences for their own personal and spiritual growth. They help when life is a bit out of balance, and they can gently uncover our own true core…they help us discover our true self.

They can help one to move through the energetic imprints from trauma, circling thoughts, anxiety, low self-confidence, lack of groundedness, poor concentration, and the list goes on…

Flower Essences foster self-reflection. In order to select remedies, we have to pause and reflect on how we are feeling. We get a chance to notice and be curious about our more challenging states, instead of pushing them away. And we reflect on how the Flower Essence is shifting how we feel.

Are They Similar to Essential Oils?

Flower Essences or Flower Remedies are actually the opposite of Essential Oils. Essential oils contain a high concentration of the original plant material, whereas Flower Essences contain almost no plant material and instead use the potency and wisdom of that plant that is captured as an “energetic signature” in the spring water used to make them. Flower Essences also have no floral scent, which surprises many people!

If you find you are particularly sensitive to essential oils, medications, or supplements, Flower Essences may be a great option for you as they have a different mode of action. They work energetically and vibrationally instead of biochemically.

How Do I Take My Handcrafted Flower Essences?

Each person may end up taking their Flower Essences differently, though a typical way to take them is 4 drops in a small amount of water, 4 times a day.

Others find they take 1 drop once a day and that is enough for them. Or I prepare a mister bottle and they simply spray their Flower Essences around their body.

You can also rub a few drops on an area of your body you are looking for healing with, such as a sore joint, instead of taking them internally. You can add them to your bath, place them on your chakras or acupoints, or simply to an area you are intuitively drawn to applying them.

Sometimes you notice an immediate change, though often it takes a few days to weeks for the change to take place. Some Flower Essences will have a subtle effect on you, whereas others will be much more directly noticeable.

They are often used as a compliment to other therapies, though check with your medical provider if you have any specific questions.
