Flower Essences - are not to be confused with essential oils. Flower essences are considered to be the vibration or "spirit" of a plant. Flowers are picked at their peak of growth and placed in water to capture the essence of the plant in water. Each plant has its own healing characteristics and issues it helps to resolve. Flower essences help to resolve mental and emotional issues on an energy level by helping to fill in the "energy gaps" in a depleted spirit. You infuse the plant spirit with yours by taking it orally, placing it on the pulse points or spraying it in a mist.
