Flower Essences are a fascinating and powerful way to work with plants for healing. Working with herbs themselves, as extracts of various kinds or as food sources, uses the chemical components of the herbs as well as their vital energies. Aromatherapy uses a particular set of the chemicals present in plants and also engages their energies. Flower essences contain an absolute minimum of chemical and biological material, and offer wholely the energies of the plants.
Flower essences are water-based solutions which contain the essential energies of flowers.
The structure of the water molecule is such that it can store these energies. When a person places a few drops of a flower essence under the tongue, the energy of the flower floods one's aura, vibrating at its own special frequency, and can nudge the vibrations in a person's aura toward their own frequency. This creates an immediate effect on the emotional and spiritual levels of the aura. In the section about how the essences work, I will try to explain how this effect can progress to healing on the physical level as well. It was the work of a sensitive and dedicated physician, Dr Edward Bach , which first started to characterise the healing properties of these preparations.
