What
are flower essences/vibrational essences?
Vibrational
essences (often called flower essences or flower remedies)
preserve the vital life force of a substance for use in healing.
An ancient form of healthcare, essences are used to prompt
greater levels of health and well-being in the user.
Essences
are usually in a liquid medium, generally water with a preservative
like alcohol added. You may also find them in an oil base,
or an ointment or cream, though this is more unusual.
Do
essences differ from essential oils/aromatherapy?
Yes!
Essences are NOT the same as essential oils used in aromatherapy.
Unlike essential oils, they are unscented and unflavored.
Through special preparation, essences contain only the energetic
properties of their parent substances.
Who
invented essences?
Vibrational
essences are a part of ancient wisdom, and have been found
in aboriginal cultures throughout the world. The 16th century
master physician and herbalist Paracelsus also used essences.
The
best-known essence maker of the modern world is the English
physician Dr. Edward Bach. He reinvented essences in the 1930's,
creating the popular Bach Flower Remedies. They are used widely
throughout the world.
In
the past 15 years or so, many new essences companies were
founded all over the world. They offer a wide range of essences
made in new and creative ways. These newer essences advance
Dr. Bach's original work by meeting the needs of this specific
time in wonderful, new ways, using more up-to-date energies.
