Flower Essences vs. Aromatherapy & Herbs:

Flower essences are the energetic and vibrational imprint of fresh flowers that are "extracted" into a crystal bowl of fresh spring water by the elements of nature; sun, water, wind, and earth. They are safe to take internally and to apply them directly on the skin as there is no actually herb or flower left in the remedy hence it is the "essences" of the flower. Flower essences are vibrational in nature and work on the mental emotional body where as aromatherapy and herbs have a more physically affect the body.

"The Lord will guide you always; he will satisfy your will satisfy your needs in a sun-scorched land and will strengthen your frame. You will be like a well-water garden, like a spring whose waters never fail." - Isaiah 58:11

Aromatherapy is the pure physical concentrated and sometimes chemical extract of the oil from the plant. They are not to be taken internally or applied directly on the skin because of their high sometimes toxic concentrations. They affect the body through the sense of smell. They should always be diluted in carrier oil or in water before they are to be used topically.


Herbs use the whole plant from the roots to the stem to the flower depending on what type of herb it is. They encompass all aspects of the plant where as the flower essences only use the imprint of the flower or vibration. Herbs work mainly on the physical state of the body. Some herbs can be toxic if over dosed. Flower essences do not have these problems they are safe for any age.

Flower essences work very well in combination with herbs, aromatherapy, counseling, and pharmaceuticals. They should not be used as a replacement for medications nor do they interact with medications or herbs. They can actually help support and speed up the healing process. They are used as complementary medicine not alternative medicine. Please consult your physician before discontinuing or changing any medications or therapy you are on.
