Flower essences are non-aromatic, liquid tinctures which are prepared in such a way that they hold the energetic imprint, or life force, of a particular plant or flower. They are holistic methods of treatment and work on the innermost condition of the animal or person being treated, activating that being's innate ability to heal itself. Rather than attacking disease, their effect is to lift the vibration of the whole being, transforming negative qualities and processes into positive ones and stimulating a being's own potential to heal itself. The flower is the most potent part of the plant, and each plant has unique and individual healing properties. In the making of a flower essence the healing properties of the plant are transferred to water by a process of sunlight infusion. The resulting "essence" can then be ingested, rubbed on the skin or sprayed in the atmosphere around the animal being treated.

The essences restore balance and harmony to a person or animal's entire being: physical, mental, emotional, and spiritual. They are exceptionally gentle but highly effective. Like homeopathic medicine, they give the innermost person or animal exactly the nudge that it needs to remember how to heal itself. They involve no harm to any living thing to produce their healing benefits.
