Hi abysmaltouch,

Thanks for sharing such an interesting topic. I had no idea there was a difference between flower essences ( which one can take internally ) and essential oils which of course, are for external use.

Some excerpts from the article that caught my attention ~   "A common misunderstanding is that flower essences are the same as essential oils. However, essential oils are highly aromatic, concentrated oils from leaves, flowers, grasses, fruits, and resins. They are typically used externally and work therapeutically through one’s sense of smell, which sends corresponding messages to the nervous system. Essential oils like lavender and clary sage can be used to relax the body and mind, and can also be used in combination with flower essences. " I have heard that lavendar is a relaxing scent and color.

 "According to Jenny Pao—a San Francisco-based Quantum Energetics practitioner, flower essence practitioner, and owner of Nectar Essences—flower essences are powerful on a psycho-spiritual level because they include subtle infusions of the elements of ether and water. “The element of ether is the invisible energy extracted from the flowers, the invisible thread of vibrational healing that addresses the soul,” she says. “The element of water is also included. Like water, emotions are meant to flow. Flower essences are potions for your emotions, helping them flow and blossom.”
