What are flower essences?
What are Flower Essences? Flower essences are unscented liquid, potentized plant preparations which convey a distinct imprint, or etheric pattern of a specific flower. Originally developed in the 1930s by the English physician, Dr. Edward Bach, flower essences enjoy a reputation of being highly beneficial and safe to use. Because they contain only minute traces of physical substance, flower essences differ from pharmaceutical drugs, conventional herbal remedies or essential oils used for aromatherapy. Although they are legally classified as herbal supplements, flower essences properly belong to a new modality of potentized remedies that derive their active powers from life forces within natural substances. Because they are highly diluted, they are benign and do not cause side effects. Their power derives from the principle of energetic resonance with the life pattern of the flower. Flower essences expand our understanding of health care by recognizing a relationship between body and soul, and the interweaving of spiritual, mental, emotional and physical aspects of wellness. They address the subtle but very important realm of the human psyche, from where thoughts and feelings emanate. Just as food sustains the human body, flower essences nourish the human soul, enhancing emotional and psychological well-being. Flower essences are generally taken orally — a few drops or sprays — several times per day. They can also be applied topically, used in baths, and sprayed in the environment. Body care products containing flower essences are another way to enjoy their benefits. 3
Continuing the Legacy of Dr. Bach
Continuing the Legacy of Dr. Bach Julian Barnard...has devoted his life to the work of Edward Bach. The Healingherbs™ are genuine Bach flower essences prepared in exactly the same way as shown by Dr. Bach. … These essences are prepared with great care, love and integrity to ensure perfection through simplicity, and to achieve the miracle of Nature’s Healing. Nickie Murray (1923-1997), former director of the Bach Centre
FES is the exclusive North American distributor for the Healingherbs™ flower essences of Dr. Bach, made precisely according to his original indications, using the same plant species collected in pristine habitats. Healingherbs™ is located in Herefordshire in western England on the borderlands of Wales, where Dr. Bach made many of his early flower essences. It is directed by renowned naturalist, teacher and author, Julian Barnard. FES has continued in the tradition of Dr. Bach with its own lines of North American flower essences, FES Quintessentials™ and the Range of Light™, researched and developed since 1978. All of the flower essences are prepared from wildflowers or organic garden flowers, using the living forces of the fresh air and water, and the warmth and light of the rising morning sun, in vibrant gardens and natural habitats. 4

Let it be noticed in this that the four elements are involved: the earth to nurture the plant: the air from which it feeds: the sun or fire to enable it to impart its power: and water to collect and to be enriched with its beneficent magnetic healing. — Dr. Edward Bach, 1930 5

Terra Flora Gardens: Biodynamic® & Organic
Terra Flora Gardens: Demeter-Biodynamic® & USDA-Organic The gardens at Terra Flora in Nevada City, California, received official Biodynamic certification in 1997, by the Demeter Association, the international accreditation agency for Biodynamic® Agriculture. Biodynamic® is a term that actually predates “organic” by several decades; it includes all the requirements of organic agriculture, such as the use of natural fertilizers and biological pest controls, yet goes further. While typical organic certification programs protect the consumer by establishing safeguards regarding the use of chemicals and other harmful agricultural practices, Biodynamic® practitioners are also required to develop extensive, proactive methods of caring for the earth and the soil. These approaches involve a comprehensive understanding of the living forces of Nature inherent in minerals, plants, animals and the surrounding cosmos. Terra Flora Gardens are also certified organic through the National Organic Program of the US Department of Agriculture. Constructing a Biodynamic® compost pile

Yarrow Environmental Solution™
Yarrow Environmental Solution™ (YES) Yarrow Environmental Solution™ (YES) is a highly beneficial blend of flower essences and plant tinctures in a sea salt base. Its purpose is to strengthen and protect against toxic environmental influences, geopathic stress, and other hazards of technology-dominated modern life. It contains five powerful flower essences, pictured at the right. Arnica and Echinacea build strength and integrity of the mind-body complex, while the three Yarrow remedies, Yarrow (white), Pink Yarrow and Golden Yarrow, balance sensitivity with protection and maintenance of healthy boundaries.
History and current use Developed in its original form as a response to the Chernobyl nuclear disaster of 1986, the YES formula is now widely used in Japan and elsewhere to cope with the effects of the 2011 Fukushima nuclear power plant disaster. YES is not a substitute for appropriate medical care. Rather, it is a tonic to revitalize the etheric body or life energy of anyone subject to harmful environmental influences.

Books, Posters and Accessories
Flower Essence Repertory Flower essences heal the soul through their archetypal qualities and formative forces. These same all-embracing archetypes are echoed by poets and visionaries in their Wordcraft. We have married some of the most inspirational of these words to the masterful flower photography of Richard Katz. These are unique and ideal for conveying the meaning of flower essence therapy through a larger literary context. This spiral-bound reprint is comprised of Parts II and III of the most recent publication and includes a listing of essences and their qualities arranged by a wide range of categories, and profiles of the 142 English and North American flower essences. The Repertory has received praise from experienced practitioners as well as beginning students of flower essence therapy, as the clearest, most informative guide to flower essence selection and use. 306 pages, large-format. By Patricia Kaminski & Richard Katz.

FES Commitment to Quality
A Commitment to Quality: Twelve outstanding features of the FES Quintessentials™ and Healingherbs™ products 1. Customer-friendly pricing FES is exceptionally committed to prices which respect the customer’s need for a quality product at an economical price. Please consult our price comparison page for a complete overview.
2. Two-for-one discounts for opening display orders In addition to superior pricing for customers, opening orders for the full-line FES Quintessentials™, Range of Light™, Foremost 40™, and Healingherbs™ displays, as well as displays for our other product lines, receive an unprecedented two-for-one discount. You pay for one set of products, and receive another one at no charge, along with a handsome oak or colorful cardboard display. Please see our display information for more details.
3. Highest quality products, certified Biodynamic® The flowers used for our products are hand-gathered in pristine wild areas, or from our Biodynamic® Demeter-certified organic gardens at Terra Flora, in California’s Sierra Nevada foothills. Wild-harvested plants are gathered in very small quantities, following strict Demeter and ethical standards for environmental purity and ecological preservation. In order to protect the sensitive properties of the flower essences, all products are hand-prepared and handpotentized; no factory or robotic assembly-line methods are used to manufacture the Healingherbs™ or FES lines of flower essences. The highest considerations are paid to selecting plant sites and plant specimens which are in exceptional states of vibrancy and purity. The FES and Healingherbs™ lines are preferred by practitioners world-wide for their extraordinary purity and efficacy. Our flower essences and herbal oils are made with organic and wild-harvested ingredients, following the standards of the National Organic Program and are certified Biodynamic® by the Demeter Association, the international standard of ecological agriculture and natural products.
4. Packaging which is both environmentally-friendly and aesthetic FES is committed to packaging which is not wasteful and which can be recycled or reused. Wherever possible, we avoid the use of plastics. For example, some of the displays come in hand-crafted oak, both beautiful and durable. No excess packaging such as separate boxes are used to market the individual flower essences. Glass is used to store all products.
5. Products with a proven professional reputation FES is the only company which has developed since 1979, a solid research base for both the English (Healingherbs™) and North American (FES) lines of flower essences. Practitioners have been carefully trained in fully professional certification programs and are part of a world-wide network which provides research data for the FES lines. Indications for our essences are based on thousands of case studies by flower essence practitioners who have used these essences for years. Many of these case studies have been submitted to the FES headquarters, where they are carefully documented and entered into a computer database. The FES products are well-known and highly respected, not only nationally, but throughout the world. 32
FES Commitment to Quality 6. Finest and most professional source of Dr. Bach’s flower essences The Healingherbs™ brand of Dr. Bach’s flower essences are bottled under license from Julian Barnard of Hereford, England. Julian is an internationally recognized expert on Bach flower therapy and has written and published in this field for over 20 years. He was trained in the original methods of flower essence preparation and plant identification by the late Nickie Murray, director for the Bach Centre in England until 1988. Beginning in the early 1960s, Nickie Murray was selected and trained directly by Nora Weeks, the colleague and contemporary of Dr. Edward Bach who administrated his work until Nora Weeks’ death in 1979. The mother essences of the Healingherbs™ are personally hand-prepared in England by Julian according to Bach’s original methods and standards. They are not homeopathically diluted, nor are they manufactured in a factory assembly-line. Julian lives and works in the rural west of England, along the border of Wales, where Bach made his first flower remedies.
7. Strong customer demand The extensive network of FES practitioners and widely available educational literature has created an unusually strong and knowledgeable customer base. These customers are seeking specific products, and have been referred by practitioners or are themselves well-informed home-health practitioners. If the customer does not find the products s/he is specifically seeking, they will order directly from Flower Essence Services.
8. Educational support The Flower Essence Repertory has been translated into eight different languages and is uniformly praised by practitioners for its excellent descriptions and practical accessibility. FES maintains a current list of local practitioners who teach classes in their communities, and who may be available to present in-store seminars. Numerous articles and other information from FES literature can be made available for store newsletters and other flyers. Each product has specific support literature which explains and identifies the uses of the product.
9. Established media and cultural presence In addition to its own ad campaign, FES is prominently featured in numerous books and articles on flower essence therapy. Due to its unequaled professional contacts, research program, and extensive experience, FES is the main company which is consulted for leading articles, books or educational seminars related to flower essence therapy. FES has an active Facebook page with over 128,000 fans.
10. Clear labeling standards and manufacturing policies Unlike other companies which have caused confusion with homeopathic labeling and/or homeopathic dilution of their flower remedies, the FES essences have always been clearly classified as herbal products. FES worked closely with legal counsel Loren Israelsen, the prominent attorney who was one of the principal players in guiding the Dietary Supplements Health and Education Act (DSHEA) to Congressional passage in 1994. Non-drug labeling not only wisely places flower essence products in the dietary supplement category, but also honors Dr. Edward Bach’s standards and intentions for flower essence formulation. Dr. Bach left the practice of homeopathy to develop the first flower essences in the 1930s. He clearly distinguished flower remedies from homeopathic remedies, because flower essences are prepared differently, and do not work by the homeopathic “Law of Similars.”
11. Distributor representation and order fulfillment The FES line is strongly represented by full-service distributors for convenient order fulfillment. FES works with each distributor to offer outstanding specials for even greater savings to stores and customers. If you are in an area not served by a distributor, FES can fulfill your orders directly until a local distributor is able to serve your needs.
12. Product guarantee FES believes that its products are of unparalleled excellence and value. It stands ready to resolve any problems with its product, and promptly and cheerfully replaces broken or otherwise damaged items, directly or through its distributors. FES works actively with its sales team and distributors to receive feedback or advice regarding store needs, and to make changes or improvements as needed. 33
