About Flower Essences

The Essence of a Flower?

Life flows with synergy when one is in touch with intuitive knowing and authentic Self-expression. Ellaflor is here to empower individuals, plants, nature, animals, kids and the rest of us. Each flower has unique gifts to share with the world and exudes a particular vibration. As one would greet a new friend with an offering, an open mind, and love, so too one may greet a flower.

One captures a flower's essence by placing the fresh blossom in water in the sun. As opposed to essential oils or tinctures which are pressed or extracted, flower essences contain very little plant matter and do not taste or smell strongly. Essences are vibrational medicines to be sprayed on the skin, ingested, or placed in water. Flower essences can serve and support us through life's transitions and emotional turmoil.

We, much like the planet we inhabit, are mostly water. Water retains, reflects, and conveys intentions and vibrations. In a sense, a water molecule's resonance of a thought or emotion is communicated to other molecules around it, and they simultaneously take on that vibration. Have you ever walked into a room after there had (seemingly) been an argument and felt it in the air? When listening to a piece of music that moves you, seeing a picture that triggers a nostalgic shimmer, or hearing words that speak to your heart, the water in the cells of your body reflect and retain these vibrations.

In terms of preparation and efficacy, flower essences are similar to homeopathic remedies. In fact, Dr. Bach, pioneer and the original flower essence practitioner, had worked in both traditional and homeopathic medicine with great success before discovering flower remedies in the 1930's. Unlike traditional medicine and homeopathic medicine which focus upon treating disease, Edward believed that the inherent healing properties found in nature would support us - body, mind, and spirit.
