Pick some lilac flowers, then let them air dry on a paper towel for the entire night. Avoid washing the flowers because doing so could cause the oil to go rancid. Simply shake the blooms to remove any unwanted biological stuff.
Lilac blossoms that have withered should be put in a jar and covered with your preferred oil. Ensure that the oil covers the flowers entirely; if necessary, press down with a spoon or chopstick. Jar contents and a date should be written on the lid. For four to six weeks, leave the oil to infuse in a warm location.
How is flower essence made?
- Two dark (amber/cobalt/green) glass dropper bottles each weighing two ounces. If necessary, the spare bottle can be used to convert the stock bottle into a dose bottle.
- a little glass funnel
- A bowl made of clear glass or crystal used specifically for preparing flower essences.
- Four to six ounces of fresh spring or well water in a glass jar (a Mason jar). Use non-distilled water since the ionization process required to distill it kills the life power of the water.
- a leaf to set flowers on before adding them to the water, such as a lettuce or cabbage leaf.
- as a preservative, brandy or vegetable glycerin combined with apple cider vinegar.
- scissors or garden shears used only for cutting flowers.
- Labels: Make sure to note the time, date, location, and any essences that are present.
For what alcohol is flower essence used?
The ideal brandy for flower essences is Harris Organic unwooded brandy, though you may also choose from the Harris Organic brandy lineup if you prefer a softer wooded brandy.
Can vodka be used to produce flower essence?
In one way or another, the energy of the plant is transposed into water to create flower essences, which are then preserved in alcohol.
Depending on the flower, other techniques may occasionally be employed. As an illustration, we create our Cymbidium Orchid essence utilizing moonlight in a manner similar to how we do it with sunlight.
Giant Bellflower is a different essence that is created by first preparing the flower using the solar method and then separately soaking the seed head in vodka in the sun for the same amount of time as the flower.
The Mother Tincture for the Giant Bellflower essence is created by combining these two Mother Tinctures.
Although Dr. Bach’s work served as the inspiration for the Bailey essences’ creation, it is not nearly the same process. The alcohol extraction method has taken the place of the boiling method, which, in our opinion, offers the essences a more well-rounded character. This most likely occurs because aromatic molecules dissolve in alcohol rather than escape during boiling. The plant material is gathered and steeped in vodka using this technique. The mother tincture is the liquid that remains after the plant material has been filtered out.
The Bach rates of dilution were initially employed. However, dowsing tests revealed that a different method may be used to achieve more efficacy. A two-stage dilution was developed as opposed to dilution straight from the original “mother tincture to the stock bottles. The finished stock essences’ potency has increased as a result, which has shown to be advantageous. If a too considerable dilution is obtained in one stage, it seems that some potency is lost. It’s unclear why this is happening, but it might have something to do with how information from the original herbal extract gets absorbed by water.
About 10,000:1 of the mother tincture is diluted into the stock bottle (two stages each of about 100:1). We refer to the first dilution of our mother tincture as “daughter tincture.” The final stock bottle represents the second stage of dilution.
By tapping our daughter tinctures three or four times on the thumb’s ball, they are given more energy. Although not necessary, we believe that this energizing provides the final stock essence a more “solid feel.”
Each and every essence is produced by hand with vodka and pure spring water as the base. We choose vodka instead of brandy since vodka is only very pure alcohol, whereas brandy’s quality might vary substantially depending on the producer. Brandy also contains a wide range of chemicals from both the initial distillation and the oak barrels used for aging.
We firmly believe that the care taken during every step of the preparation has a significant impact on the quality of all vibrational essences. Our goal in creating the essences is to the greatest extent possible honor the flowers’ innate ability to cure.
To ensure that every batch of stock essences has the same potency, dowsing techniques are used to standardize all of the essences throughout manufacture.
These essences are not medications in the traditional sense of the word. They are not meant to treat or relieve any kind of illness. Always get advice from your regular doctor if you are unsure.
They work by assisting the individual taking them to rebalance their mind, body, and soul as a whole. Improvements in clinical diseases may be observed, however physical health and symptoms are linked to the interior harmony within the being.
They are change agents rather than drugs that force their effects on the body. Because of this, each person’s response will be very different based on the particular situation.
Can dried flowers be used to create floral essence?
Since the dawn of time, both humans and animals have employed flowers as therapeutic agents. All of the great healers in history held the view that mental, emotional, and spiritual health all contribute to excellent health. Indeed, no physical healing will last without mental equilibrium.
When used properly, flower remedies can bring mental and emotional equilibrium to everyone.
For instance, people, horses, and other animals can all experience periods of being overly impatient, unduly controlling, overly afraid, jumping at shadows, pessimistic, anxious, overly sensitive, aggressive, doubting oneself, lacking confidence, and the list goes on.
If we are constrained by our ingrained thought patterns and detrimental barriers, we might all unintentionally hold ourselves back or fall short of realizing our potential. Similar to people, horses and other animals—including all living things—are frequently badly impacted cognitively and emotionally when they are sick or don’t feel “quite right.”
Why so many people believe that humans alone experience emotions and that we are very different from other life forms baffles me. Undoubtedly, the range varies, and as no two people have the same speech or body language, humans frequently are unaware of the facial emotions of other animals or birds.
Animals are all intelligent beings. Science has demonstrated that chimpanzees can easily outperform humans in short-term memory tests, dogs can detect unfairness, and rats engage in random acts of kindness. Birds are also subject to mood fluctuations, including both despair and optimism.
Whether they are aware of it or not, the majority of skilled horsemen and women understand that each horse has a unique mental and emotional makeup, just like all people who like their pets and domestic animals.
The little-known change agents that are accessible and affordable to anyone are flower treatments. They have the potential to be both strong and occasionally subtle. They don’t alter the core of the person (human or horse), but they do balance out bad feelings. For instance, after receiving floral remedies, human patients may report feeling “much better in themselves” a few weeks later. Always, it is simpler to recognize differences in others than in oneself.
Absolutely safe, however keep in mind that you should always consult a trained professional if you or your animals are ill.
Since flower medicines work to balance the mind and body, they shouldn’t swab. Unless a bad mental condition has prevented the physical body from reaching its potential, this won’t make anyone jump higher or run faster.
You will require:
a transparent, basic bowl composed of quartz or glass with no designs. The amount of water in the bowl should be approximately 350 ml, however it might vary depending on personal preferences.
Step 1: Getting the cure ready
On a bright, sunny day, it is advisable to prepare treatments first thing in the morning. Use a moon calendar or diary to find the best times to produce the most potent cure. If feasible, choose a serene, unpolluted region where the flowers are growing naturally; if not, pick blooms that have been organically cultivated in a natural setting.
Start the procedure by settling into a peaceful state of meditation. Ask the plant for permission to manufacture your medicine by tuning into it.
Use a silver tool or plant twigs to delicately remove the blossoms; try not to manipulate them as you put them in your bowl.
Leave the bowl of flowers and water on the ground somewhere where the plant is already growing for three hours in a cloudless sky.
If dried flowers have been carefully dried by the sun or preserved in wax bags, they can be utilized in the same manner.
Making the “Mother” remedy, step two:
Fill prepared bottles with brandy to a quarter of their capacity. Fill the bottle to the top with the remedy by funneling it through the bowl. The brandy is required to keep the cure fresh. It is known as the “mother” remedy. By putting the bottles under a copper pyramid, away from one another, and/or temporarily surrounding them with quartz crystals, you can further energize the treatment. Don’t worry about it; just do what seems right to you.
Keep out of direct sunshine and pungent odors. No electrical appliances, including refrigerators, should be kept in or on.
Making “Stock” and “Dose” treatments in Step 3
From the “mother” remedy, “stock” bottles are made. Fill prepared bottles with brandy to a level of 25%, then top off with distilled or clean spring water. The “mother” remedy should be shaken before adding 7 drops to the “stock” container.
By adding 7 drops from the “stock” bottle to brandy and water, this can be diluted even more for “dose” bottles.
Although many practitioners find the most diluted dose to be useful, I prefer to deliver doses from the “stock” bottle rather than the “dose” bottle.

How do essences get made?
Essential oils and flower essences are frequently confused with one another. Although both solutions contain plants, they are manufactured in quite different methods.
How to make flower essences is as follows:
- Water from a natural spring is used to immerse flowers.
- Alternatively, the water is exposed to the sun. The energy of flowers is said to be extracted with the aid of sunlight.
- Brandy is used to filter and preserve the water. There is no trace of the flower in the finished essence.
The same process can be used to create essences from crystals and non-flowering plants. They can be produced without alcohol as well.
Essential oils, on the other hand, are liquid concentrations of plant chemicals. This is how they are created:
- A plant’s flowers, leaves, fruit, or bark are collected. Several pounds of plant material are frequently needed to make one bottle of essential oil.
- The fragrant components are extracted from the plant material through steaming, distilling, or pressing.
- The extracted “oil is not really oily and can be used by combining it with a carrier oil.
