FLOWER ESSENCES - Cyherbia Botanical Park

What are Flower Essences? They are not essential oils, or tinctures/extracts. Unlike essential oils and tinctures which work on healing physical problems and improving health, they work on our emotional and spiritual side.

Each flower essence has its plant spirit healing power.

How are they made?

The process of making flower essences is completely different from essential oil or tincture making. We cut the flower tops of plants, after asking them for permission, and we don’t touch them with our hands. We use sterilized cutters to cut the flowers, while holding a basket underneath, so that the flowers fall into the basket, so as to avoid the physical touch of our hands – this way, the flower energy is pure and does not get affected by our energy.

Then we fill a glass bowl with spring water with the harvested flowers and let them brew in the sun all day, the sun’s energy makes this a very powerful essence. If it is a full moon during the night, we keep the glass bowl outside so as to also charge them with the full moon energy.

Then, we strain the flowers and in a glass bottle, pour 50% of the flower essence out of the glass bowl with 50% brandy. That is called the Mother Tincture.

We then dilute 10 drops of flower essence in a 30ml glass bottle with again 50% brandy and 50% spring water. The more a flower essence is diluted, the more powerful it is, according to homeopathy principle!

The flower essences that we have made are chamomile, hawthorn, lavender and sage.
