How Flower Essences are Made

Dripping spring water through a Spider Flower

A flower essence can be created by dropping spring water through the flower blossoms and gathering the water in a large bottle half filled with brandy for preserving the essence.

It is then put into a much smaller bottle by diluting it down again, half brandy, half water.  Dosage bottles are then made up by putting a particular number of drops of the mother essence into a bottle filled with spring water and a little brandy at the bottom.

Some people like to sit and meditate with the plant, or spend time painting or drawing it before beginning the process of making the essence.  Asking permission to work with the plant and requesting that it release its healing properties into the water is also an important part of the process.
