Flower Essence Therapy
Are you ready to bloom?
Flower Essences have been used for many years across a variety of cultures throughout the world. Indigenous Australians have long incorporated flowers into cultural and ceremonial practices. In the twelfth century, Hildegard Von Bingen — a Benedictine abbess, writer and mystic — wrote about plants and the natural world. She described placing muslin cloths over flowers to collect dew, which was then used in traditional preparations.
In the 1930s, London physician Dr Edward Bach developed a system of 38 flower remedies that are still used today.
Since then, many practitioners around the world have continued to explore traditional flower preparations. Today, we have access to a range of flower essence systems including Bach Flower Remedies, Australian Bush Flower Essences, Living Essences, Flower Essence Society remedies and New Zealand First Light Flower Essences.
What Are Flower Essences?
In flower essence therapy, flowers are traditionally considered to contain the highest concentration of a plant’s subtle or energetic qualities. Flower essences are described as preparations made by infusing flowers in water using solar or lunar methods. There is no physical part of the flower remaining in the final preparation; rather, practitioners refer to an “imprint” that reflects the flower’s unique characteristics.
Within traditional flower essence philosophy, each flower is thought to have its own distinct qualities, and people choose essences that align with the emotional or personal themes they wish to explore. Experiences are unique and vary from person to person.
What can Flower Essences do for You?
Within traditional flower essence philosophy, people often choose essences to support themes such as:
Feeling more aligned with themselves
Cultivating presence and self-awareness
Exploring confidence and courage
Encouraging a sense of calm or emotional balance
Supporting relaxation and restful routines
Navigating life transitions with greater openness
Recognising personal strengths and untapped potential
Reflecting on long-held patterns or beliefs
Supporting personal growth and self-understanding
