A Guide to Using
Flower, Gem & Crystal Essences

The essences are 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. Preferably take all the essences twenty 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 take at once?

This is perhaps one of the questions we are asked most often and the answer depends on which of our essences groups you are wishing to work with.

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.

Individual Flower Essences & Gem/Crystal Essences

You can take up to 4 or 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 wouldn't recommend taking any other essences other than Bach Flower Remedies at the same time.

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.

Combinations for Self Treatment, Chakra 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 other essences other than Bach Flower Remedies at the same time.

Essences For Children

See Essences for Children page for more information for children. For more information on the Dosage Instructions for each type of essence, please see the relevant essence section.
