These Flower Essences are listed in alphabetical order. Flower Essences can rebalance your emotions. You will know you need a particular Flower Essence if the imbalances listed fits your emotions.
You take two drops at a time underneath your tongue so it works sublingually. It does no good to take more than two drops at a time, or you just waste your flower essence. The one exception being, Rescue Remedy taken four drops at a time underneath the tongue. Flower Essences are not supposed to interfere with any medications you are taking, but you might want to check with your pharmacist for surety of this. It will take at least one bottle to rebalance your emotional system, maybe more depending on the severity of your imbalance. You will be able to tell a difference in yourself after a couple weeks or so of taking the Flower Essences. You will also know when you need only take maintenance doses because you will be able to tell a difference in yourself. Then, take a maintenance dose once or twice a week, from then on until you feel completely in charge of your emotions. From then on you can handle it as you see fit. Work on balancing one problem at a time, taking no more than six of the flower essences at a time. You can find all of these plus MANY others listed in the following book of Flower Essences, and I highly recommend buying a copy for personal reference. It is $19.95 in the USA and called, "FLOWER ESSENCE REPERTORY" by Patricia Kaminski and Richard Katz. Get your favorite bookstore to order a copy for you. Barnes and Noble online can ship it straight to your door. (www.bn.com)
