How do I take essences...
There are many ways to take essences – internally, topically, dropped into water or juice, added to creams or sprays, taken alone or mixed with other essences. Choose the method that works best for your personal use.
Essences may be added to the bath, to moisturisers and facial creams, used with hands-on healing, in massage and bodywork, in household cleaning products, the washing machine and house paint.
People often ask how many drops to use from each bottle. The ‘correct’ number of drops will be very personal to you. Use a pendulum or choose intuitively what is right for you if you do not have a practitioner to make up the dosage for you.
Each range of essences has its own general guide on how many drops to use – the basics are given below.
Alaskan Essences
Use a 30ml dropper bottle containing one quarter brandy or apple cider vinegar or vegetable glycerin and three quarters good quality water. Add two drops of each selected essence. Standard dosage is then four drops, four times a day but individual testing is the best way to arrive at the correct dosage. Small children and animals will usually need to take the essences less frequently than adults.
Australian Bush Flower Essences
Take a 15ml or 30ml dropper bottle filled with three quarters good quality water and one quarter brandy. Add seven drops of each selected essence to the dosage bottle. Several essences can be combined in one bottle but it is generally suggested that the number combined be limited to four or five. Take seven drops of the dosage mix under the tongue morning and night, usually for a period of two weeks.
Flower Essence Services
Fill a 30ml dropper bottle nearly full of spring or fresh water. Add a small amount of brandy (between one eighth to one quarter) as a preservative. Add two to four drops of each selected flower essence. Place four drops of the dosage under the tongue or in water. General dosage is four times a day.
Indigo Essences
Put one or more drops of each essence in a glass of water or a drink and sip as often as you feel like it.
Put a few drops of your chosen essence(s) in a plain cream and rub on your body.
Put a few drops in a plant mister or atomiser and spray around you and your room.
Just hold the bottle for a while until you feel better or sleep with the bottle under your pillow.
Wild Earth Essences
The dosage strength may be taken, five to seven drops, three to four times per day, but not with food. Take directly under the tongue or in water. It is best to take an essence for two to three weeks before determining whether it has been beneficial.
