Flower
Essence Blends |
|
|
|
At Botanical
Alchemy we believe that flower essences, properly used, are some
of the safest, most effective, and least intrusive remedies in the
natural pharmacopoeia. Unlike the more common single flower remedies,
all Botanical Alchemy formulas are synergistic blends of several
flowers. These blends have been carefully designed and tested over
many years. Combining essences in this way produces an effect that
greatly enhances the potency of each remedy, promotes deeper action,
and more predictable effects. Synergistic Blending allow flowers to
become a breakthrough tool for individuals and practitioners in the
most challenging circumstances.

Energy Medicines |
|
|
|
Flower Essences belong to the growing
field of "energy medicine" represented by the Homeopathic, Ayurvedic and Oriental health systems. Like other potentized remedies
they carry and impart the vibrational patterns of the life forces they
were made from, not the physical or chemical constituents of physical
remedies like herbs.
|
|
|
|
Synergistic
Blending |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Until recently most essences were
available only as single flower remedies. Now, after years of
research into the effects of combining different flowers we have
created a new class of essences: Synergistic Blends which greatly
enhance the potency and balance of each remedy. By using these
essences properly you can change fundamental emotions underlying
patterns of behavior or address specific symptoms. Our blending
allows you to experience and enjoy the wonderful healing effects
of flower essences without the steep learning curve and expense that single remedies
have required up till now. |
|
|
|
By
our synergistic blending and the careful design of our formulas we are
able to achieve deeper, broader, and more reliable results. By
synergistically blending several flowers in a single formula we
have eliminated the process of choosing one flower and hoping that
it is the correct choice. |
|
|
|
|
Formula Structure |
|
|
|
By using the Chinese Herbal Blending
structure of Primary, Major and Supporting ingredients we are able to
help you achieve predictable results that are both deep and broad. The
Primary flower, or flowers, of each formula provide the strongest
energy to achieve the goals of the formula. They set the direction,
and power the formula. A good example of this would be the in the HEALING
HEART formula.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
The
primary flowers for healing the heart in this formula are
HIBISCUS, for inner balance, and BLEEDING HEART for healing old
heart wounds. The major flowers are almost as significant. They
usually support the primary flowers, broaden their effect, or
add another dimension to the formula. In the HEALING
HEART formula these
are GRINDELIA, for releasing stuck issues, and PINK and STICKY
MONKEY FLOWERS for intimacy and communications help. Next,
there is the supporting flower, or flowers. In this formula, it
is WILD SUNFLOWER. Normally used for developing a greater
feeling of safety, we also use it here to help draw in new |
|
|
|
|
and more appropriate, relationships. This is an excellent example of a
supporting flower deepening the formula's effects as well as
broadening the formula's goals by taking it beyond repairing the past,
to helping create a better future.
This detailed example clearly illustrates the greater range of effects
you can achieve with these synergistic blending techniques. Another
advantage of having more flowers supporting and broadening the central
thrust of a formula is that you have a greater chance of achieving
your goals. With a single flower, you might pick a flower that sounds
appropriate but find it lacks the ability to get to your emotional
'heart of the matter'. Blends give you a greater chance of receiving a
high impact flower and supporting its work.

|
|
|

Caring For Your
Flower Blend |
|
|
|
We suggest you carry your flowers with
you during the day or store them where they can be seen as a reminder
to use them. Remember, they only work when you take them. We also
suggest they be stored them away from strong electromagnetic fields
such as TVs, microwave ovens, or computers, which can weaken the
strength of the flower blends over long term exposure. Short term
exposure to these or even airport X-Ray machines will not kill them,
so feel free to travel with your flowers.

|
Dosage |
|
|
|
Flower blends are very simple to take
and the more advanced techniques described here are helpful but not
necessary to achieve results. Advanced users and practitioners will
find that taking the blend in the most appropriate way will ensure
they achieve consistent and swift results in even difficult cases.
|
|
|
|
Dosage Techniques |
|
|
|
There are 2 excellent ways to take our
blends. Each have their advantages. Some of our blends are designed to
work most effectively using the enhanced sipping method. The two
techniques are:
1.
The traditional 'Under the Tongue' Method
2.
The Enhanced Sipping Method.
|
|
|
|
The Traditional
Under-the-Tongue Method |
|
|
|
The traditional dosage technique for
flower essences is to take 2-4 drops under the tongue, 2-6 times each day. This is easy and
effective. It is also the most appropriate way to take Flower essences
when you are taking remedies of a deeper and
longer-term nature.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Good Blends For Under The Tongue |
|
The blends that can work effectively
being taken the traditional way are:
ATHLETE'S SPIRIT (Ginseng Blend)
DISSOLVE GUILT (Delphinium Blend)
DREAMS COME TRUE (Sunflower Blend)
EMOTIONAL TRANSFORMATION (Amaranth Blend)
HEALING HEART (Hibiscus Blend)
HIDDEN ISSUES (Fuchsia Blend) *
MALE SUPPORT (Wild
Oat Blend)
NEW PATTERNS (Aloe Vera Blend)
TRANSFORM ANGER (Willow Blend)
TRAUMA (Arnica Blend)
WOMAN'S HARMONY (Bluestar Blend)
|
|
|
|
|
|
* Except
for the Hidden Issues, (Fuchsia Blend), each of these
blends can also be taken by the enhanced sipping method
when desired. |
With the Hidden
Issues
Blend, its highly catalytic nature is best worked with
in single doses at a time. Starting at a dose a day for
3-4 days, then lifting it by one dose per day each 3-4
days until emotions start to arise. Then you can control
the pace of change by taking more doses to accelerate or
less doses each day to slow down |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Enhanced Sipping
Method for Faster Effect |
|
|
|
For a faster effect place 3 to 6 drops
of a formula in a glass of water or other liquid, and then sip frequently.
Because flower essences are vibrational medicines even a small sip of this
water is as strong a dose under the tongue or a whole glass drunk in
only one swallow. You get increased effect
with flower essences by more taking more doses, not by increasing the
size of the dose. This is one of the major ways that energy medicines
differ from standard medicines. For the swiftest results take a sip
every minute or two. This allows the doses to build on each other and
have a swifter effect. In a bottle of water, for carrying with you
during the day, increase the number of drops of each formula to 7-11 drops.
Work this way with the
BRIGHT MORNINGS
(Blue Flag Blend), for example,
and you should feel the shift from sadness, or emotional overwhelm, to
being happier, more positive and joyful, within about 10-15 minutes.
This swift effect is the major benefit of the enhanced way to take the
flowers. Each sip builds on the sip before and soon the effect is
strong enough to achieve the desired result.
|
|
|
|
|
Good Blends For Sipping |
|
These blends have been specifically
designed for the enhanced sipping method and work most effectively
when you place 3-7 drops of each formula that you would like to take
in a glass of water, or juice or alcoholic drink. Then as you sip the
liquid each sip is one wave through your aura. Every sip is like a
dose and with multiple sips they build cumulatively to create a
swifter effect. It's not how much you take but how often you take any.

UN-STRESS (Yarrow
Blend) **
|
|
|
|
|
|
**Our
UN-STRESS
Formula (Yarrow Blend) is our most popular blend. It is
a formula that is designed specifically for the enhanced
|
|
sipping
method. By sipping it every one to two minutes it is
possible to go from a state of confusion and overwhelm
to being very balanced and calm. Most people find this
takes only 5-7 sips, even in extreme circumstances.
UN-STRESS
acts by
calming emotions and tension, and then ordering
thoughts, ideas, goals, and information into serenely
organized groups naturally prioritized by
importance deadlines and practicality. I love it :-)
Then it continues to aid you in being centered, and
more easily clarifying and dealing effectively with
each task, or problem, in a calm and sequenced way.
The first stage of using it is to go from stressed to
calm. Then, as you keep sipping it, you go from calm
to confident optimism and then high focus and
surprising productivity. A very very popular blend for
times of crisis, confusion, emotions or just getting
through a 21st century day. |

Dosage Tips |
|
|
|
Please allow 1 minute or more between
doses of the same remedy to allow the body to recognize each dose as
separate. Generally allow 5 minutes between doses of different
remedies. However there are blends that work with each other so well
that you can 'cocktail' them into water together and take them at the
same time. For advanced dosage strategies please visit our
ADVANCED
DOSAGE TECHNIQUES PAGE.
Flower essences are similar to homeopathic remedies in that it is not
how much you take at a time, but the number of doses you take, that
determines their effectiveness. They build their effects cumulatively
through multiple doses. Think of them as waves of energy gently moving
through your aura, with each wave building on the work of the previous
wave.
|
|
|
|
Alcohol Preserved |
|
|
|
Our blends are preserved with fine
brandy, using an alcohol content of 18% by volume and have a shelf
life of many years. (For those who are alcohol sensitive, use warm -
hot water, (but not extremely hot), and let sit for a five to ten
minutes after adding the remedy. This will allow the alcohol to
evaporate from the warmth of the water). We do make Alcohol free
bottles to order but we charge extra and advise you keep them in the
fridge as often as you can to extend their life.
