The power  of flowers

by Rhonda PallasDowney — 

Flowers speak a language all their own, and are one of nature’s most magnificent and simple gifts, expressing love, gratitude and concern for others. Flowers bring color, personality, aromas and healing qualities into our lives and fill our souls with peace, joy and a feeling of connection.

Flower essences

A flower essence is made by placing a flower’s blossoms in a clear glass bowl filled with purified water, thus allowing an infusion of the blossoms to occur in a natural setting on a sunny day. Light aids in safely extracting the flower’s medicinal constituents. The infusion is then filtered as the blossoms fade in the water, and the flowers are removed.

Extensive research by Dr. Edward Bach in the 1930s demonstrated that flower essences have the ability to balance the human system and act as medicinal agents for a variety of ailments. The formulation of Living Flower Essences is based on Dr. Bach’s research, as well as this author’s own research and thorough understanding of homeopathic and medicinal principles.

Flower essences are natural remedies that help people deal with everyday challenges related to stress and change. The flowers are chosen from natural habitats and toxin-free organic gardens. They are non-addictive and completely safe, with no unwanted side effects.
