How does one know which flower essence to use? Flower essences don’t work in the realm of language, but until one experiences their healing, words are the best way to explain them. Since flower essences work on a subconscious level, our intuition is a great guide for letting our consciousness know what plant medicine to use. Other tools that can help include muscle testing, using a pendulum or tarot. One may take an essence daily to encourage some type of growth or change or may keep specific essences on hand as first aid tools. Since flower essences are electric in nature, a person only needs a drop or two per dose to receive the vibration’s healing effects. Essences can be taken 1-3 times daily, unless your intuition tells you otherwise.
Each species of flower carries shared healing powers, but each plant carries additional healing properties based on its story, which includes all types of factors like geographic location, the history of its DNA, physical environment, the broader cultural environment, among others. So, it’s powerful to know the history – or herstory – of each plant medicine because each person is also so perfectly unique. Certain plants offer exceptional healing to certain people (or animals) based on those unique, wonderful & magical connections in this life. Blessed be the Mystery!
