What are Flower Essences?
Have you ever looked at a flower or tree and felt the magic of your connection with it? It’s as if the flower or tree exudes a pearl of Divine wisdom that touches us deeply. You might experience the connection as a magnetic draw, strong thought, mental image, or a feeling. Flower essences are this unique vibrational pattern/Divine wisdom of each plant imprinted into the water, which becomes a non-aromatic, high-frequency electrical solution. Find an expanded definition on our page What Are Flower Essences?
Do Flower Essences Have a Scent?
No, flower essences are a vibrational, non-aromatic solution. There are no molecules of the plant to create a scent in flower essences. Our Aromatherapy products contain essential oils that are blended with the essences, so they do have wonderful therapeutic scents.
How do I Choose Which Essence is Right for Me?
We suggest using a method to choose flower essences that call on your body’s wisdom. Remember: with flower essences, you are not trying to eliminate a symptom but are accessing the wisdom of the plant(s) to correct an underlying imbalance. Methods to access your body wisdom could include using kinesiology (muscle testing), a pendulum, intuition, a feeling, or sensing a magnetic sensation between your hand and a bottle. We suggest using one of these body wisdom methods in addition to reading the description. By working in this way, you not only rebalance yourself but also get more information about what is creating the underlying imbalance. If you are not experienced in intuitive methods, you can scroll through the flower essences and other products to see if something attracts your attention. When you find a product, read the description, pause a moment and feel if it is what you need.

How Many Drops/Sprays Should I Take?
Generally, take 1 or 2 drops (not a full dropper) or 1 spray of an essence or essence blend 2 or 3 times per day. If you know you are sensitive to essences or other energy modalities, you may want to start at a lower amount. Flower essences are most commonly taken orally, directly from the dropper, spray top, or in drinking water. However, they can also be very effective when used on the skin, in bathwater, or a spray mist. Flower essences support our life, learning, and healing processes, and can be used with any healing modality for humans, animals, plants, land, and the larger systems we call our environments.
How Do I Care for My Essences?
Here are a few simple procedures for taking care of our essences.
1. If you touch the dropper in any way, run water over it for about 15 seconds then shake it off, before returning it to the bottle. Any contact whether it’s your mouth, hand, or tabletop will alter the vibrational purity of the essence.
2. Keep the essences sitting upright in the bottle out of direct light when not in use. This protects the vibrational quality and keeps the essence from taking on the taste of the rubber stopper.
3. Store the essences in a place that feels safe, respectful. This is pretty much common sense. Don’t store them where children can get into them. Essences won’t harm children; actually, they are quite good for children when used properly. However, they are in glass bottles with glass droppers and are not a plaything. Store them in a respectful place, not in a junk room or overcrowded closet.
4. Also, store essences at a moderate temperature. If they get too hot or cold it will reduce their shelf life. Keep the bottles out of direct sunlight.
5. Squeeze the remaining contents of the dropper back into the bottle before putting the dropper back into the bottle. Essence caught in the dropper may lose its vibrational integrity.
6. If for any reason, you sense that the vibrational quality of essence has been compromised, ask to speak with the Deva of Flower Essences and ask that your essence be restored to full potency. This is not a complicated procedure. Just ask and it is done.
Can I Use Essences on Animals?
Yes! Flower essences are effective with pets and other creatures, like wild birds. Tree Frog Farm Essences have been used with many kinds of animals – dogs, cats, horses, sheep, rabbits, etc. – with positive results. We use SOS Flower Remedy regularly with our high-strung dog who is a rescue. When the occasional bird flies into one of our windows, we put a drop of SOS into a glass of water then put a few drops of the water onto its feathers. This greatly helps its recovery.
What is Red Shiso Base at Tree Frog Farm?
Tree Frog Farm specializes in offering flower essences in a non-alcohol base of red shiso and organic vinegar. We offer both our shiso base, as well as in brandy base for our flower and tree essences.
We know the red shiso literally from the ground up! We grow, harvest, and dry the shiso on our farm. The dry leaves are made into a strong tea infusion. The tea is strained, and a small amount of organic white vinegar is added which deepens the vibrant raspberry color of the leaf and further adds to its shelf-life and stability.

How Do I Know Which Preservative Base is Right for Me?
Customers are reporting equally good results using our essences in either base. Some people can’t ingest vinegar, don’t like the taste, or prefer brandy. Diana’s personal experience is that the shiso base matches the frequency of the flower essences better than the brandy which was made elsewhere.
How Long Will my Essences Last?
We give the shiso base a shelf life of two years. This was determined primarily by the stability of the base, not the vibrational quality. To put it another way, the vibrational aspect of the essence can last many years as long as the base is not compromised. When stored properly, a brandy base will likely outlast the vibrational aspect. The opposite is true for the shiso base, which will likely particulate and lose much of its color after two years, while the vibrational aspect will remain strong. The vibrational quality will last depending on many variables (usually light, temperature, oxidation, and exposure to electromagnetic fields).
Tip: if you store your shiso base in the refrigerator, you can extend the shelf life by another two years. Bottom line: keep checking your essence for quality.
Is it OK to Use Several Flower Essences or Essence Blends Together?
Individual essences can be grouped. Most people should take only 2 or 3 together at a time. Pause a minute between each to allow your body/mind time to assimilate the energy of each essence.
Each blend has 20+ essences in them. You may work with 2 or 3 at a time. Examples: Take Large Intestine Organ Energy Meridian Essence Blend together with the Sacral Chakra Flower Essence Blend. Take Root Chakra, then Sacral, then Solar Plexus Chakra Blends. Please take each blend separately, at least 2 to 3 hours apart.
An individual flower essence can be taken along with a blend, but we suggest no more than 1 additional essence. Examples: Take Arnica Flower Essence with Root Chakra Blend. Take Oceanspray Flower Essence with Small Intestine Organ Blend or with Throat Chakra.
Any Guidelines on How Long to Take an Essence?
We suggest at least 1 bottle, sometimes it takes more. It depends on the person. You might feel an energy shift or not. You might notice behavior or attitude changes.
Is It Best To Take Essences on A Full or Empty Stomach?
No. Essences are vibrational. Even though they are taken orally, you do not ingest them. However, to keep the integrity of the vibrational pattern, don’t take them while you are eating.
Why Do We offer Both a Spray Top and Dropper Top?
The shiso base with a spray top is more convenient to use and travel around, but the dosage is less exact. The dropper, however, is more precise in the number of drops that one will take, but is less convenient to use out and about.
Does Using Crystals Make this a Gem Essence?
Using crystals does have an impact on the essence, but it does not become a gemstone essence. The crystals ground how the flower or tree essence seats into the mother bottles. There is not a separate influence of each crystal. The flower essence and influence of the crystals become one unit.
The Pick Method vs. The No-Pick Method?
In The Pick method, the flower is cut and placed on the water in the bowl so there is a physical connection that facilitates the imprint of the vibrational quality. In the No Pick method, there is no physical connection between the base and flower or tree. Instead, there is a download of the essences’ quality vibrational imprint directly into the carrier base – either brandy or our red shiso base – in the mother bottles. This method allows Diana to make flower essences using any flower or tree, including native orchids and lilies, without harming them. The Pick method and No Pick method both use the sun to help download the specific vibrational quality of the flower essence into the water or carrier base.
