What Are Flower Essences?

Flower Essences are remedies whose energy and archetypal properties have been transferred into water by the sun. They are elegant and powerful.

 An example is a gift set called Loving Relationships, by Botanical Alchemy. It is a synergistic blend of flowers that together compliment and enhance one another.

I had a client who had been sexually abused as a child and this proved to be a winning combination for her. The Sexual Healing formula softened wounds she’d had for many years. The Healing Heart formula helped her to open her heart again to loving relationships and the Clear Communication assisted her in speaking her truth.

Why would I use Flower Essences?

 The effects of Flowers Essences extend to the mind, body, emotions and spirit. They are harmless, natural and gentle. They serve as a beautiful compliment to homeopathy and the use of other types of nutritional supplements. They can be fast acting and safe for all ages.

There is a gift set of flower essences by Botanical Alchemy called Clear Communication.  A client of mine, who is a composer, used them faithfully in his work. He claimed the Clear Spirit helped him to remove blockages, the Inspiration stimulated his creativity and the Aura Cleanser cleared the environment of unhelpful energies that affected his emotions.

The Origin and Evolution of Flower Essences

Edward Bach, MD (1886-1936) believed that the body became wrought with illness when the mind was burdened with ills of the heart and the spirit. He said, “Our fears, our cares, our anxieties and such like that open the path to the invasion of illness.”

 Today we call this stress.

Edward Bach had his training as a doctor in London and for several years was involved with bacteriology and chronic disease. He recognized that certain personality types related to various patterns of ill health.

He worked with vaccine therapy and the principles of homeopathy before he moved towards the discovery of flower remedies. He felt the archetype of the flowers could help to harmonize emotional imbalances that ultimately led to physical illnesses.

By 1930 Bach was prepared to give up his medical practice and devote his time fully to the development of the flower essence remedies. Ultimately he would call them “The Twelve Healers & Other Remedies” which became a total of thirty-eight healing remedies.

The flowers embodied the positive and harmonizing force for a negative emotional state to be transformed.

 It could be envy, fear, mental exhaustion, shock or loss, to name a few.

The essence of the flowers could be diluted and taken as a medicine.

Over time he observed that as the emotional state of the patient improved, so did their physical symptoms.

He explained his results in terms of a philosophy that we were much more than the physical bodies we see and suggested that illness was a signal, or message from our inner being calling for a change of lifestyle or mental outlook.

Of course we now have many ways of actually proving Bach’s theory starting with Kirlian photography, as well as a number of other more advanced means of measuring the aura and energetic body field.

Fast forward to the twenty-first century…Bach flowers are still very popular in many countries of the world, but beyond that, many more flowers have been discovered for their unique properties in aiding the body back into balance.

Over a decade ago I was fortunate enough to meet Clifton Harrison, from Australia, who had not only expanded the repertoire of effective flower essences, but was also combining them in a synergistic way, enabling them to be even more powerful.

So even though I still love Bach Flowers;

 I introduce you to Botanical Alchemy, a collection of very special flower combinations.


The Flower Essence Blends
    
         At Botanical Alchemy it is believed that flower essences, properly used, are some of the safest, most effective, and least intrusive remedies in the natural pharmacopoeia. Unlike the more common single flower remedies, all Botanical Alchemy formulas are synergistic blends of several flowers. These blends have been carefully designed and tested over many years. Combining essences in this way produces an effect that greatly enhances the potency of each remedy, promotes deeper action, and more predictable effects. Synergistic Blending allow flowers to become a breakthrough tool for individuals and practitioners in the most challenging circumstances.    

Energy Medicines
    
        Flower Essences belong to the growing field of "energy medicine" represented by the Homeopathic, Ayurvedic and Oriental health systems. Like other potentized remedies they carry and impart the vibrational patterns of the life forces they were made from, not the physical or chemical constituents of physical remedies like herbs.

Synergistic Blending
               
            Until recently, most essences were available only as single flower remedies. Now, after years of research into the effects of combining different flowers we have created a new class of essences: Synergistic Blends that greatly enhance the potency and balance of each remedy. By using these essences properly you can change fundamental emotions underlying patterns of behavior or address specific symptoms. Our blending allows you to experience and enjoy the wonderful healing effects of flower essences without the steep learning curve and expense that single remedies have required up till now.           
 
By our synergistic blending and the careful design of our formulas we are able to achieve deeper, broader, and more reliable results. By synergistically blending several flowers in a single formula we have eliminated the process of choosing one flower and hoping that it is the correct choice.

Formula Structure
    
        By using the Chinese Herbal Blending structure of Primary, Major and Supporting ingredients we are able to help you achieve predictable results that are both deep and broad. The Primary flower, or flowers, of each formula provide the strongest energy to achieve the goals of the formula. They set the direction, and power the formula. A good example of this would be the HEALING HEART formula.
     
          The primary flowers for healing the heart in this formula are HIBISCUS, for inner balance, and BLEEDING HEART for healing old heart wounds. The major flowers are almost as significant. They usually support the primary flowers, broaden their effect, or add another dimension to the formula. In the HEALING HEART formula these are GRINDELIA, for releasing stuck issues, and PINK and STICKY MONKEY FLOWERS for intimacy and communications help.  Next, there is the supporting flower, or flowers. In this formula, it is WILD SUNFLOWER. Normally used for developing a greater feeling of safety, we also use it here to help draw in new and more appropriate, relationships. This is an excellent example of a supporting flower deepening the formula's effects as well as broadening the formula's goals by taking it beyond repairing the past, to helping create a better future.

This detailed example clearly illustrates the greater range of effects you can achieve with these synergistic blending techniques. Another advantage of having more flowers supporting and broadening the central thrust of a formula is that you have a greater chance of achieving your goals. With a single flower, you might pick a flower that sounds appropriate but find it lacks the ability to get to your emotional 'heart of the matter'. Blends give you a greater chance of receiving a high impact flower and supporting its work.
