Flower Essences To The Rescue —
Stop and Experience the Flowers!
What are flower and gem essences?
Flower essences are liquid infusions of the vibrational imprints of individual plants that act as messengers of inner health and harmony.
Through the infusion process, the liquid picks up the specific imprinting of the plant that responds to balancing, repairing and rebuilding imbalances in our physical, emotional, mental and spiritual levels. They are potentized, vibrational remedies that derive their beneficial powers from the inherent life forces of the plant and stones. Flower essences act as catalysts in the healing process rather than suppressing or controlling symptoms.
These essences work on a vibrational level. Each flower has a distinct signature described by its color, smell, shape and when, where and how it grows and blooms. This signature defines the flower's particular therapeutic value. Every flower and stone has a unique energy pattern associated with its signature that directly corresponds to our body's electrical and nervous systems.
The energy patterns travel to the parts of our system that are out of balance, overloaded, short circuited or in need of life force energy. These vibrational essences have the ability to balance and change our energy patterns, opening the door to a new, positive and expanded outlook.

History of Flower Essences
Flower essences are said to have been used in Mu and Atlantis. The Lemurians were horticulturists. They were the first to develop the doctrine of signatures, the idea being that each plant has a specific signature that relates to it's therapeutic value. Because little disease existed, flower essences were used to help evolve spiritual consciousness. They were also used for the regeneration of physical body tissue over the extended life span of the Lemurians. The Lemurians were so sensitive energetically, that all they had to do was approach the blossom to reap the effects of the vibrations.
On Atlantis, flower essences developed more as a system of medicine. The Atlantians were not as in tune with nature as the Lemurians, and thereby developed the current system of floating the blossoms on water to infuse the vibrations into the liquid.
In the sixteenth century, Swiss doctor/alchemist Paracelsus experimented with flower essences. They were rediscovered in Britain, in the early 1930's by Dr. Edward Bach, a homeopathic physician.
Dr. Bach felt that a healer's focus should be directed towards the ills of the heart and spirit of a person. Working with a patient in this manner often prevented the manifestation of the emotions into physical disease. Use of the flower essences helped bring balance to the patient's mind-body health. Dr. Bach's work on flower essences is being continued worldwide.
Today, we use flower essences to help us adjust to the fast pace of our lives. We must constantly change and adjust our lives. These continuous changes makes us more vulnerable. Flower essences help us to stabilize and handle change easier. Flower Essences also help us develop self awareness and to take responsibility for life's lessons and challenges
