Best practice is to use one blended flower essence at a time until the bottle is complete, which typically takes about 3–4 weeks. After completion, you may move on to a different blend or use remedies on an as-needed basis. If you choose to use more than one blend in the same day, take them at different times of day, separating them by at least 30 minutes, and do not combine multiple blends in the same beverage. Quiet Mind is commonly used in the evening or before bedtime, while other blends may be taken earlier in the day. Crisis Intervention may be used as needed alongside any blend.

Flower essences are vibrational infusions of specific flowers in water, each carrying a unique healing theme. They are used to support emotional balance, mood, and overall well-being, and work on a vibrational level rather than through chemical or pharmacological action. Flower essences are not essential oils. Unlike essential oils, they contain no physical plant material and therefore have no scent, inherent taste, or active plant compounds. Because they contain no physical constituents of the plant, flower essences are non-toxic and free from allergens. For example, an individual allergic to oak can safely take an oak flower essence without experiencing an allergic reaction.

Taking them for a longer period of time has longer lasting benefits than taking them for a shorter period of time.

The choice is yours. You may either persevere through it until it passes. Or you may temporarily reduce the dosage and see if that provides any ease to the discomfort you are experiencing.

Although you can follow your own intuition, my recommendation is to use only 1 flower essence blend at a time until completion of the bottle. Once you’ve completed the bottle, you use may use a second bottle of the type of flower essence blend until you have completed on an ‘as needed basis.’ In the ‘as needed’ phase, you can take a different elixir each different day if you so desire.

If you chose to use more than one flower essence blend a day, it is best to separate them into different parts of the day. So for example, you may take Pure Energy all morning and throughout the day, but take Quiet Mind after dinner and before bed.

Crisis Intervention can be used as needed any time in conjunction with any of the flower essence blends.

If this should occur, do not worry, but it is best practice to rinse the dropper off with water.

The Flower Apothecary Essences are approximately 99.5% alcohol free. We do not use alcohol as a preservative. Rather, we use food grade USP organic vegetable glycerin to naturally preserve our essences. Since we use some of the Bach Flower Essences in our blends, each bottle may contain a maximum of half a percent ( .5% ) alcohol that is dispersed over 150 doses per bottle. It was a conscious decision to be as alcohol free as possible to accommodate people who are sensitive to alcohol or choose not to ingest alcohol.

Flower essences do not have side effects in the conventional pharmaceutical sense and do not cause physical impairment. In some cases, a temporary healing reaction may occur. This is similar to the soreness felt after working out for the first time in a long while—uncomfortable at first, but short-lived and part of a strengthening process. Healing reactions are not common and, if they occur, typically resolve within the first week. They are considered an indication that the remedy was well matched and that the system is actively working to restore emotional equilibrium in the targeted area. The most common reaction is fatigue during the first week. Less commonly, individuals may notice vivid dreams, brief symptom intensification, headaches, or increased bathroom use.
