What are Flower Essences?

Flower essence therapy is used to balance chakras, release negative patterns, re align energy pathways, heal emotional turmoil, strengthen your inner powers, and more! In naturopathic and wholistic medicine, we view every disease and condition as having an energetic or emotional aspect which, when treated effectively, can open the door for real healing to occur.

One example is with autoimmune conditions. Emotionally or spiritually, some of us tend to let negative energy in to our very being, and direct this energy or negative thoughts against our bodies. In this instance, certain flowers are indicated to initiate a new pathway, directing negative energies outward and self love inward.

I liken flower essence therapy to homeopathics, where they are similar is that this form of healing uses energy medicine. Similar to homeopathics, flower essences are formulated using a process which harness and dilutes the flower until only the ‘energy’ of the flower remains.Each individual essence uses a different flower, and each energy print that remains is completely different and determined by the flower used.You may notice striking traits of different flowers, and it is these striking traits and aesthetics which tell us the healing properties that flower holds. Along with aesthetics, other energetic properties are bound in each flower, such as the way a flower grows, conditions it endures, etc.

In clinic, I use Australian Bush Flower Essences, mainly because I believe we would resinate more closely with native plants. During a flower essence reading, the process of using cards to select your own essences can be healing in itself. It is possible to become aware of issues in our lives that demand our attention, and in doing so, a remedy of flowers is developed, which is unique to you.
