A flower essence is an infusion of a flower that is preserved in alcohol (usually) and tremendously diluted. When we work with other herbal remedies, we are seeking a physical health benefit - perhaps boosting the immune system or balancing hormones. Flower essences are a subtle medicine for emotional or energetic problems. You can even work with essences of plants that are usually dangerous to consume because the essence doesn’t contain physical components of the plants.

Perhaps you are in a time of transition - you entering a new chapter of life, transforming into an enhanced version of yourself, or working through grief and loss. Or you might feel stuck - you have old patterns that you act out over and over again, such as people pleasing or repeatedly not choosing yourself. Perhaps you feel disconnected from other people, the person you once were, your own body… If you are unsure if a flower essence would do the job, feel free to email me at entangledherbs@gmail.com with questions!

Nope! Tinctures contain physical components of the plant that support physical problems. Flower essences only carry the vibration of the plant.

Nope! Essential oils are highly concentrated oils that give off strong fragrances. They are dangerous to consume! Flower essences don’t have the fragrance of the plant and are safe to consume.

Don't expect a flower essence to taste like the plants listed on the label! My flower essences are preserved in a tasty pear brandy called an eau de vie.

Different people will have different experiences with different essences. When you are preparing to take the essence, get into a meditative headspace. Sit someplace quiet and take a few deep breaths. Then drip a few drops of the essence under your tongue. Notice what sensations arise in your body. You might feel energy moving in a certain direction, tingles on your skin, or shifts in temperatures. Certain colors, images, or phrases might come to mind. If you pay attention while you are awake, you might notice synchronicities. As you sleep, you might notice patterns, symbols, locations, and color schemes in your dreams. Essences are subtle medicine and some will affect you in more obvious ways than others!

I will provide instructions when I send your essence. You can take a few drops under the tongue, or add it to your water bottle to drink throughout the day. You can also experiment with adding the essence to your cooking or to a bath. You can carry it in your pocket as a secret talisman. You can even dribble a few drops on your pillow before you sleep. The important thing is to work with the essence regularly so that it has a chance to work its magic!

I can make your blend in vegetable glycerin or apple cider vinegar upon request! All of my essences are preserved in water with 20% brandy. When I make your personalized blend, I will add a few drops of these essences to the glycerin or ACV. In this case, there will still be a tiny amount of brandy, but it shouldn't be perceptible. Send me an email at entangledherbs@gmail.com and be sure to note if you would like vegetable glycerin or ACV!
