Flower Essences vs. Herbal Tincture
While both flower essences and herbal tinctures are plant-based remedies, they work in very different ways.
How They Work:
• Flower Essences: Work on an energetic level, carrying the vibrational imprint of a flower to support emotional and energetic balance.
• Herbal Tinctures: Work on a physical level, extracting the plant’s chemical compounds to interact with the body’s systems.
How They’re Made:
• Flower Essences: Made by infusing flowers in water under sunlight, then preserving the water with brandy. No physical plant material remains—only the energetic signature.
• Herbal Tinctures: Made by steeping plant material (leaves, roots, flowers) in alcohol or glycerin to extract medicinal compounds.
What They Support:
• Flower Essences: Address emotional, mental, and energetic imbalances—such as fear, confidence, clarity, and resilience.
• Herbal Tinctures: Support physical health—such as digestion, immunity, sleep, or stress relief—by delivering plant-based nutrients.
How They’re Taken:
• Flower Essences: A few drops under the tongue or in water, often taken consistently over time to support inner shifts.
• Herbal Tinctures: Usually taken in dropperfuls, often in water or tea, depending on the desired physical effect.
