How to Use Essences
Flower, Gem & Crystal Essences are normally taken orally on or under the tongue. Allow the essence to mix with the saliva in the mouth for a few moments before swallowing. Ensure when taking essences that the glass dropper does not touch the tongue or the essence may become contaminated. It is better to take essences at least ten minutes away from food.
Try to combine with a natural way of living, a healthy diet and meditation for best effect. Another positive step is to say a healing affirmation each time a dose is taken. This can help to reprogram the mind and affirms your intent.
Try: “I feel peace and joy, more and more or My body is full of healing light and energy. ALWAYS affirm in the present tense!”
How many Essences can I use at one time?
Bach Flower Remedies
We recommend that you use these remedies made up into combinations of 7 or 8 individual remedies. It is better not to include essences from other groups in these combinations. However a well-chosen combination of Crystal Herbs Bach Flower Remedies can often be very helpful when taken alongside one of our deeper acting combinations.
Single Flower Essences & Gem/Crystal Essences
You can take up to 4/ 5 of these essences together either separately or in a combination. To make a combination mix equal quantities of each chosen essence in a clean bottle. You could also order your chosen essences made into a combination by us. We don’t recommend that you take any essences other than the Bach Remedies at the same time as this type of combination.
Karmic Essences
Take these separately from each other (and other essences except Bach Flower Remedies). Follow the dosage instructions carefully for these.
Angel Essences
You can take these separately or mix 2 or 3 together, although it is often more powerful to work with each Angel separately.
Divine Harmony Essences, Chakra Essences, Rose Collection Combinations, Inner Child Essences and Light Body Essences
Each of these is a powerful combination of at least 4 different essences so we recommend that you take these one at a time and do not take any essences other than Bach Flower Remedies at the same time.
