Healing with Flower Essences

Mother Earth has provided us with an abundance of natural healing remedies, but one of her most powerful of these remedies is flowers. Each variety has its own unique healing properties based upon its appearance, color, fragrance and energy. Flower essence therapy addresses specific emotional and metaphysical issues. These beautiful and natural remedies can help you move past grief, worry, fear, loss or indecision and allow peace and happiness to return so that the body can better heal itself.

Dr. Edward Bach, born in Moseley, England in 1886 was the creator of the original 38 Bach Flower Remedies. He began his career as a house surgeon and casualty medical officer at University College Hospital. After research in immunology, he developed an interest in homeopathy and then joined the laboratories of the Royal London Homeopathic Hospital in 1919. He believed that illness was the effect of disharmony between the body and mind and that the symptoms of illness are the external expression of negative emotional states. In 1928 he began work on his own homeopathic remedies from plants, each aimed at a particular mental state or emotion.

A flower essence is composed of the energetic properties of a single flower (individual essence) or group of flowers (composite formula) infused in water by sunlight or moonlight. It is most often preserved in brandy but can also be preserved in apple cider vinegar or vegetable glycerin for pets, children, or those who are alcohol sensitive. A few drops are placed under the tongue several times a day usually for a period of about two weeks.


Although the original Bach Flower Remedies are made from flowers in England, the Sonoran Desert has an abundance of natural wild flowers that have their own unique healing properties. For example, the agave flower helps you own your level of mastery and manifest your talents and strengths. 

So, instead of reaching for the tequila to help you overcome your fear of taking a risk, instead use the essence of the agave flower which will help you trust in your inner gifts and strengths so that you can manifest your heart’s desires.
