Flower Essences vs. Essential Oils

We get asked all the time, 'what is the difference between flower essences and essential oils?' In hopes of making it both easy and simple, we've created the following breakdown... 

Flower Essences

• Ingested orally - either dropped directly in the mouth or into a glass of water

• Applied topically (test a small area of skin first to ensure no irritation) - to the meridian points

• Can be added to a bath or dropped onto your pillow before sleep

• Works on the emotional body and primarily supports mental and emotional healing

• Leverages a flower or plant's healing properties via its vibration and frequency

• Uses a small amount of plant material (typically two handfulls of petals)

Essential Oils

• Used topically (most oils require dilution before applying to the skin)

• Occassionaly ingested (when done so under the guidance of an expert or doctor)

• Works on the physical body and primarily supports physical or mental healing

• Leverages a flower or plant's materials healing properties via its oils

• Often uses plants grown unsustainably or harvested unethically

• Uses a massive amount of plant material and is not a sustainable ecological practice
