Flower essences are considered to be a form of vibrational medicine containing the energetic imprint of a flower within the matrix of water, as opposed to herbal extracts which contain active constituents that often have a potent effect on the physical body. They have the potential to support emotional and spiritual wellbeing, often being used as a complementary therapy for support through trialling times in life. This is especially in cases of dis-ease, which may or may not be presenting in the physical body yet rooted in the spiritual & emotional psyche or someone’s electromagnetic field. This, in turn, can make these ailments harder to shift with biologically acting interventions.

For instance, some of the common uses of these remedies include (but are not limited to):
⤷ Helping to release guilt, fear and/or deep-rooted shame
⤷ Shifting unhelpful patterns
⤷ Familial/epigenetic and/or lived trauma and shock
⤷ Increasing self-worth, self-esteem, confidence and personal boundaries
⤷ Stimulating creativity, love, joy, forgiveness etc.
⤷ Communing with a particular plant deity

Each flower essence is considered to have a unique energetic signature that is influenced by several factors including:
⤷ the species of plant itself
⤷ the individual plant & its habitat
⤷ the quality of its flower
⤷ the harvest incl. the time of day/night and hour it was picked, the season and the weather
⤷ the birth of the mother essence incl. solar or lunar time and phase it was made
⤷ and lastly, the intent & energy of the maker and consumer

Our flower essences are made through solar and/or lunar infusion (depending on the flower). Each 15mL bottle is technically a stock bottle, meaning you can further dilute the stock essence to make dosage bottles. The virtues of each plant can be obtained through ingesting the essence, anointing talismans and candles, and adding a few drops to a room spray or floor wash to bring peace into the home.

For more info, I have curated a detailed resource in the free membership portal (www.dosebotanicals.com.au/digital-resources) which incl. methods of application, historical use, how they are made, FAQs and more…

Internet’s down, fire’s burning, some books out, cross-referencing engaged 📚📖

I am close to finishing an expanded, interactive & printable (50 page) pdf version of the Herbal Actions Glossary I compiled (free to access via the 🔗 below). I’ve had a few inquiries for a copy that’s more easily accessible in the study/lounge/workplace. Full bibliography & in-text referencing where applicable for you to be able to look a bit further into the nuances.

It’s a great addition to your general first aid kit.

I would just like to express my gratitude to everyone who has shown interest & support for this new endeavour I am embarking on to share sounds from the plant kingdom. Thankyou for all your messages, I know I haven't replied to all of them as there are so many but know I am in the process of getting all my equipment together in order to produce some quality recordings, videos and streams of plant music.
I've been a bit quiet because of extreme weather where I live, with the threat of a massive bushfire last week, heat and rain - it's been difficult to find the time to get out and record - but I haven't gone walkabouts!
More to come.. 🌿

In the olden time a brother (A’neglakya) and sister (A’neglakyatsi’tsa) lived in the interior of the earth, but they often came to the outer world to travel and explore, reporting back to their mother everything they saw, smelt and heard. This didn’t sit well with the Divine Ones (twin sons of the Sun Father) so they sought a meeting with the siblings and asked them some questions. The siblings told them how they could make one sleep and see ghosts, how they could manipulate another’s movements and see one who had committed theft. Afterwards the Divine Ones concluded the siblings knew too much and that they should be banished for all time from this world, so they caused the brother & sister to disappear into the earth forever.
Flowers sprang up at the spot where the two descended - flowers exactly like those that they wore on each side of their heads when visiting earth. The original plant had many children scattered all over the earth; some of the blossoms tinged with yellow, some with blue, some with red, some are all white - the colours belonging to the four cardinal points 🌎🌍🌏💫
