If you’re exploring natural wellness products to support your healing journey, you’ve likely come across both flower essences and essential oils.
At first glance, they might seem similar — both harnessing the power of plants — but they’re entirely different in purpose, creation, and how they support your well-being.
Here’s what sets them apart and why flower essences might be the better fit for your emotional and energetic needs.
What Are Flower Essences?
Flower essences are subtle, vibrational remedies designed to support emotional and energetic balance. Unlike essential oils, which are physical extracts, flower essences work through energy, not chemistry.
How Flower Essences Are Made:
Flower essences are created by infusing the energetic imprint of flowers into water, often under sunlight, and preserving the mixture with a small amount of alcohol (like brandy). They capture the frequency of the flower — not its scent, not its oil.
Think of flower essences like vibrational tuning forks for your energy body — or how a can of La Croix is “essenced” with lime, not flavored with it.
How Flower Essences Work:
Flower essences help shift emotional patterns and bring alignment where there’s been stress, fear, self-doubt, or disconnection. They gently encourage you back into balance.
How to Use Flower Essences:
-
Take 2-4 drops under the tongue
-
Add to water, tea, baths, or sprays
-
Safe for all ages, even pets
What Are Essential Oils?
Essential oils are concentrated plant extracts containing the aromatic compounds of plants. They’re primarily used for their scent, aromatherapy benefits, and physical properties.
How Essential Oils Are Made:
Essential oils are extracted through distillation or cold-pressing, concentrating the plant’s aromatic compounds into a highly potent oil.
How Essential Oils Work:
Essential oils support physical and emotional wellness primarily through scent and topical application. Lavender is known for relaxation, tea tree for skincare, etc.
How to Use Essential Oils:
-
Diffuse into the air
-
Dilute and apply to skin
-
Add to cleaning products for natural scent
