Flower Essence

Flower Essence Therapy is Natural Healing

A Flower Essence is the essential healing energy of a flower. The distinctive dynamic inner Life-Force that differentiates it from other flowers

When we capture the juices and oils from the petals, leaves, stems or roots of the plant, we utilize the more subtle energy of the bloom for Mental, Emotional and Spiritual Healing

Each flower has its own special properties, depending on the 'character' of the plant

Some may calm you, energize you, make you more assertive or make you more tolerant

Humans, Animals and other plants can all benefit from Flower Essence

The History of Flower Essences

1493-1542 Paracelsus

Believed that the Material Universe could not be separated from the Spiritual and that everything in the Creation was important

Investigated the unique Spiritual Nature of each Plant through observation of its growth

1755-1843 Samuel Hahnemann

Pioneered remedies from nature, treating the whole person (Body, Mind & Spirit) and developed the principles of Homeopathy

1861-1925 Rudolph Steiner

Continued Goethe's work and believed in the power of feeling and observation and the need to be in touch with the 'Unseen' Forces of Nature
