Explore how flower essences work, how to use them, and the transformative benefits of the Divine Collection for emotional and spiritual growth.
Flower essences are natural remedies made by infusing flowers in water and then preserving the essence with alcohol or glycerin. They are believed to work on the emotional and mental levels, helping to restore balance and harmony by addressing emotional blockages, stress, or negative states of mind.
Flower essences are typically taken by placing a few drops directly under the tongue or added to a glass of water. Some people also apply them topically, either on pulse points or specific areas of the body. The dosage and frequency depend on the individual's needs and the specific flower essence being used.
Flower essences are generally considered safe and non-toxic, with no known harmful side effects. However, because they work on the emotional and energetic levels, some people might experience intense emotional releases during their use, which can be a natural part of the healing process.
The timeframe for seeing results can vary depending on the individual and the specific emotional issues being addressed. Some people may experience shifts in their emotions within a few days, while others may take a few weeks to feel the full benefits. Consistency in use is key.
Yes, flower essences can be used alongside other treatments, therapies, and medications. Since they are a gentle form of emotional support, they typically don’t interfere with conventional medical treatments. However, it’s always a good idea to consult with a healthcare provider if you're unsure about combining flower essences with other treatments.
