Flower Essences


22+ Flower Essences for Healing and Transformation

What are flower essences? It may seem a bit mystical to describe what flower essences are, what they do, and how they work. It's a bit like describing how healing crystals or Reiki work or how I can do a Tarot reading for someone without them being present or even on the phone. It's all energy. Things we can see have a lower vibrational energy. Things with a very high and fast vibration, we cannot see, even though they still exist. Just like we cannot see heat or electricity, but know they exist, flower essences, healing crystals, Reiki, and higher beings who see more than human eyes, still exist, even though we cannot see the energy. It is also like the energy that is created in our bodies by eating food- we cannot see what is happening, but we know it is working because our bodies continue to function. So, flower essences are the energetic signatures of flowers. Each flower has a particular healing vibration which is good for a particular set of conditions. If you take a flower essence and it is not right for your particular condition, it cannot harm you; it will just do nothing because it is not in alignment with healing your particular issues. Emotions and thoughts, which are intertwined and affect us physically and mentally, are the primary domain of flower essences. We are whole beings, so working on an emotional level can heal us physically. In fact, there are flower essences recommended for after certain surgeries, such as Cesarian birth.

The effects of flower essences may be subtle or strong depending on your condition and how aligned that flower essence is for your condition. For example, when I took the blend for Heart Strength and Compassion mentioned below, I felt comforted in a time of distress. When I gave it to another person, she experienced pain in her chest, upper back, and lungs because she was releasing pent up heart chakra energy that had accumulated over many years. The pain was nothing that caused harm and nothing that didn't pass, but it was a clear signal that a very big issue was being cleared up and supported.

Directions usually come with the essences- printed on the bottle most times- but generally they are dropped under the tongue or added to a glass of water to sip. Sometimes they come in a spray bottle and you can spray them around your body or in the room where the energy is stagnant or hostile (such as after a fight), or where people need calmness or comfort. You can also apply them to pulse points, add to lotion, or add to a bath.

Though I have listed websites where you can buy these flower essences that I have experience with, I have no affiliations with the companies. I am only recommending what I have used and list the source so you can find it easily if it resonates with you.

Remember to follow medical care and let your health care provider (especially psychologist or psychiatrist) know you are taking the flower essences.  This page is not dispensing medical advice, only providing self-healing resources. A very good FAQ page on flower essences is here.

Bach Flower Essences-

Larch- for self esteem when you fear failure or judgement from others. This one seems to work for me when I get nervous before public speaking or performances or when I am worried about how I'm "performing" as a parent or when I doubt my abilities for anything. (also available through iherb.com from Flower Essence Services.)

Walnut- for moving through new life circumstances without the influence of others. This is one I used after giving birth when I knew what was right for me and wanted support and strength to carry through. Becoming a parent, starting a new job, looking for a new job, dealing with new responsibilities that come with a promotion or caring for loved ones that have recently become ill, divorce, moving, going back to school (especially when others are voicing opposing opinions for your field of study) and any other life changes you need to adapt to call for Walnut flower essence. It helps you transition to the new situation and do what you know is right without other people's voices getting in the way. (also available through iherb.com from Flower Essence Services.)

Star of Bethlehem- for shock and grief after trauma. Good for after the death of a loved one, especially beloved pets or for after an accident or traumatic news. (also available through iherb.com from Flower Essence Services.)

Rescue Remedy- I only mention this one because it is so popular and many people swear by it being helpful in times of stress. However, this is one of those essences that seems to do nothing for me in particular, nor for my sister, so if you try it and it doesn't work, you may need to dig deeper.

Most of the Bach Flower essences I've used, I have bought locally at a health food store, but they are also readily available on the internet through www.iherb.com I do have a code (ZEV497)that earns me credit if people use it and it saves you $5-$10 on your first order. You also get free 1-3 day shipping on orders over $20 and they always ship quickly. You can type in this code when placing your order:ZEV497

Fox Mountain Flower Essences

Pure Positive EnergyUse to create harmony and dissolve blockages and hardened positions. I use this often if I am having trouble maintaining a positive attitude or start to worry. It has been very useful when I use this in combination with positive affirmations and visualizing positive outcomes.

Angel's Trumpet- "To hear and speak the truth. Purity of communication. Good for those who use words to sway others to their beliefs. Brings clarity in hearing what others are saying - including one's soul's message. Ears, mouth, voice - expression - great for those who push to convert you to their beliefs. Clears up one's channels of communication to receive the truth. Opens you to your God Code."

Flower Essence Services -
Angelicaconnects you with the Angelic realm so that you feel their protection and guidance; helpful for life passages such s birth and death. (also available at a discount through iherb. See below for discount code on your first order.)

Fuchsia - for bringing suppressed emotions to the surface. Also good for ADHD. My theory on the two being related is that ADHD is characterized by a naturally low arousal system that is "insensitive" to emotions (and hunger cues, safety issues, etc.) and therefore the person with ADHD "puts the emotion away" or does not pay it any attention and it lingers, waiting to be heard, felt and known.

Allows you to know exactly what tasks to focus on and prioritize.  Helpful when someone must lead (especially a household), but is hesitant to do so. (Also available at a discount through iherb.

My husband uses it when work really starts piling on and he is becoming overwhelmed. (Also available at a discount through iherb. See below for discount code on your first order.)

Sacred Heart- for integrating heart strength and compassion. For couples to evolve their relationship to the highest level, for rebuilding after divorce or other failed relationships, and for parents/guardians and children so they build nurturing relationships and come from a place of honesty and compassion.
