Flower essences are typically taken orally.  A standard dose is four drops under the tongue four times daily.  A typical child's dose is four drops two times a day.  Flower essences have successfully been used to treat children and adults of all ages, animals, living and work spaces, and plants.  They are safe to use with any medical condition or in conjunction with other healing modalities such as prescription medication, acupuncture, homeopathy, herbs, etc.

When we take a flower essence, we are taking healing intention into our bodies.  Each essence has a unique quality of vibration and healing potential.  The first level the flower essences penetrate are the spiritual and emotional levels.  We may experience a short and acute reaction to this phase, or we may notice a very subtle shift in feeling sensations.  As the essences work through us, we may become more conscious of the shifts and become inspired or motivated to change our attitudes or behaviors that create self-limiting belief systems.  The flower essences can radiate out to the mental and physical levels and affect change in the way we think, perceive, and experience our bodies in the world.
