How Flower Essences Are Made And How They Help Emotional Healing
Flower essences are becoming more and more popular around the world as people seek natural, gentle support for emotional, holistic healing and personal growth.
If you have been working with First Light Flower Essences of New Zealand®, you may already be experiencing their subtle yet profound effects and you may also be curious to know:
How are flower essences made – and how do they actually work?
Today we uncover some of their hidden wonders and look at the relationship between humans, plants, water and sunlight.
Flower Essences: A Form Of Sacred Plant Medicine

Flower essences are traditionally made with water, plants and sunlight – they have been used by people for thousands of years.
People of indigenous cultures sipped the dew from plants for holistic healing.
Flower essences were used in the healing temples of ancient Egypt.
Creating flower essences may seem like a simple process – but what many people do not know, is that crafting a flower essence that contains the full healing potential of a plant, involves so much more than exposing a plant in water, to sunlight
It is an ancient, sophisticated and sacred art.
How Flower Essences are Made: Cooperation with Nature
In her groundbreaking book The Sacred Plant Medicine of Aotearoa Volume 1, Franchelle Ofsoské-Wyber founder and creator of First Light Flower Essences of New Zealand® explains that to ensure that the vibrational healing power of the plant is transferred to the flower essence and that the flower essence is energetically potent, there must be a reciprocal process of exchange and conscious co-operation between the maker of the essences and the plant kingdom.
In her book she also shares information on:
Metaphysical and physical tests and rites of passage associated with making flower essences
Invitations from the Plant Devas
The Healing Songs of Plants
How Flower Essences Work: Water Memory and Resonance
Scientific research has proven that water holds memory – the molecules in water retain the imprint of everything it comes into contact with. This phenomenon is also referred to as resonance transfer.
In the making of the mother essences contained in First Light Flower Essences of New Zealand®, by means of resonance transfer, the energetic blueprint or of the flower or plant is transferred into the flower essence, and then to the person who takes them
When we ingest a flower essence, the holistic healing vibration of the flower essence is carried throughout our being.
Flower essences work vibrationally, supporting the emotional, mental and spiritual aspects of wellbeing.
