Flower Essence Information
What is a flower essence?   A flower essence is the energetic vibration of a flower  stabilized in purified water and alcohol. 
 
How are they made?  A flower is place in purified water and the flower/water combination is set in the sun for two to four hours or more.  The energy of the sun transfers the energy (or otherwise known as the medicine) of the flower into the water.  This is then preserved with alcohol (usually brandy) and bottled.
 
How do they help me?  Flowers hold a very high vibration.  They are a precious gift from Mother Earth, put here for our enjoyment and healing.  When the energy of the flower enters into our energy field we begin to transform.   The unique God/Goddess qualities of the flower emote their healing presence.  This transference has the ability to uplift, cleanse, purify, raise, and heal our own life energy.
 
How do I choose?  Intuition is very important when choosing a flower essence.  Decide which flower description is the most exciting to you?  When you hold the bottle do you feel happy or excited?  Hold in your mind a problem you would like resolved and ask your own spirit guides to direct your choice.  You can also ask me any questions.

Sign up to keep abreast... The Ethnobotanist Beat At Milagro Herbs we formulate a fantastic insect repellant spray and lotion with active ingredients primarily from Port Orford Cedar essential oil. After 20 years of research and development we are pleased with the results for protecting humans from biting insects. We have even road tested in the most insect-ridden forests of the Rocky Mountains, where even commercial brands would be exhausted! Port Orford cedar oil is sustainably harvested in the Pacific Northwest, the chips and slash of wood coming after the harvest of lumber, and interestingly enough, the wood is used to make excellent arrow shafts for archery enthusiasts. This month our product with this fabulous oil are on sale and worth the buy as bugs are now hatching and will continue into the fall.   Plant Description Chamaecyparis lawsoniana - Port Orford Cedar Native to a narrow, 220-mile strip of land from the northern edge of California into the western coast of Oregon, this strong tree is also known as Port Orford White Cedar, Oregon Cedar, and Lawson Cypress. Domestic and agricultural fungicide Antiviral Antibacterial Protects against fleas, etc. Soapmaking Botanical Perfumery Aromatic Scent: coniferous, balsamic, light & earthy, green, woody, slightly sweet, and hints of ginger The energy expressed through this essence is gentle, woodsy and light – seemingly more sweet and subtle than Himalayan / Atlas cedar essences.  Upon smelling this extract, one gets transported into the wet forest of Oregon where the birds fly courageously and the beautiful landscape swoons with each sunset. I’ve found this to be a neat collectible plant essence for essential oil aficionados and perfumers alike.  Not commonly traded on the commercial essential oil market, this is truly a neat addition to botanical perfumery adding another dimension in the mid-notes. My therapeutic application with this essence has been limited – applied to the bottom of the feet, I have found this to be quite grounding and relaxing.  When inhaled I notice increased awareness into the moment, reminding me to be still in my body.  This plant ally is fortifying and protective. How to Use Mix a few drops in water and spray to repel insects and pests Add a few drops to pet shampoo Apply into the soles of feet for relaxation/grounding Infuse into a carrier oil and apply directly onto topical fungal infection Add quantity as preferred for special mid-notes in botanical perfumery Precautions Avoid contact with eyes.
