Flower Essences vs. EO's, was Bach Flower...

Josh-

 

That was an excellent, basic description of the essence production

process. Thanks!

Fantastic movie! I'm planning on buying it to show my New Moon group.

Kestrel Crossings essences are usually made with Barenjager, a honey

liqueur. The flowers love being preserved with something made from

flowers! I wish I could figure out a way to simply use honey, but all

my efforts to date have been unsuccessful. Once water is added to the

honey, it tends to go bad within a couple of months.

This is where some natural healing processes leave the scientific

realm and enter the spiritual/soul realm. The scientific theory is

that everything has its own distinct, unique vibration. Even my

mechanical engineer ex-husband couldn't disagree with that. The way

matter presents itself is dependent upon that vibration. Flower

Essence practitioners and users believe that through the process of

creating an essence, the water used is changed on a vibrational level

and a healing elixir is created. This elixir is then processed by

diluting it down and combining it with preservative (brandy, vodka,

glycerine, vinegar, Red Shiso, Barenjager, etc.)

 

While an EO has some of the plant's vibration still intact, it is far

more a physical representation of the original plant material than a

flower essence would be.

 

Hope that helps!
