Flower Essences & Homeopathics

It is a bit difficult to encapsulate the differences between flower essences and homeopathics in the space given here, but this short article should suffice as an introduction. The difference between taking homeopathics and flower essences is somewhat analogous to the difference between ingesting an herb or whole food concentrate and comparing that to ingesting an isolated nutrient.

The isolated nutrient is meant to correct a specific nutritional deficiency and is probably not a substance that is suitable for long-term use. Its wave form can be understood to have a sharper edge. It is similar to taking an accurate shot at a specific problem; one depends on the skill of the practitioner to accurately diagnose and treat a very specific difficulty or condition using the appropriate remedy. Due to this necessity, you need a high level of skill as a practitioner in terms of diagnostic ability and you also need high quality ingredients, whether that is for the homeopathic or the isolated nutrient in order to hit the target with pinpoint accuracy and make the shift that one is looking for.

When considering flower essences, herbs or whole food concentrates, you are dealing with a much broader spectrum of activity. Think of the wave forms as being much softer, more diffuse, gentler, and something that acts more as a suggestion. These all act in a fashion more similar to nature… where a difficulty is addressed not with a tremendous amount of force or intention but more of an organic, whole, relaxed suggestion to return the system to balance. In this way, a difficulty or obstacle is addressed on many different levels and from many different angles at once. This dramatically reduces the incidence of unwanted effects (what most of us refer to as side-effects.)

Flower essences bring less unwanted effects because the body is not being hit with a sharp wave. You can avoid these unpleasant effects with a well-chosen homeopathic or a well-chosen nutrient that is meant to resolve its counterbalancing condition. If such a remedy is ingested repeatedly over a longer period of time than is prescribed, the body-mind will almost certainly be thrown off balance. Many schools of herbal medicine suggest herbs which can be incorporated into the diet. These herbs can act as long-term biochemical guidance in the same manner as flower essences, which can act as long-term electrical suggestions.

These suggestions don’t force the body to change in ways that it cannot adjust to easily. They offer ways for the nervous system in the case of flower essences, or the biochemical matrix in the case of the herbs, to open up, relax, release tension, move back to balance and restore harmony. There have been countless incidences where flower essences have been able to generate amazing shifts in perspective and consciousness as deep-seated stress in the nervous system is encouraged to find balance and an individual can find that their experience of life is more open, more peaceful, and more conducive to their long term happiness and well-being.
