Some people are very strict about when and how to take flower essences, treating them like homeopathic remedies, which are ideally not taken with food, along with other restrictions. However, many practitioners and people add flower essences to their drinking water, salads, juices, and food with great results. Cooking is not advised as flower essences are fragile in respect to temperature. They must be protected from heat, light, and cold. A fun way to use flower essences is to put a few drops in your warm bath and relax.
Some people make a flower essence spray for their house, office, or wherever.
This works well. There are several methods of preparation. Usually the flower is picked at a specific time of year and day, carefully placed in a bowl of pure water, and left to sit in the sun for a certain amount of time. Several essences are not prepared by the sun method, but by a special boiling method. It is not advisable to make your own Flower Essences for several reasons.
