FLOWER ESSENCES
Integrating mind, body, and spirit for complete wellness
“Within pain, healing, or crisis, we must often call up mental, emotional and/or spiritual strength and support. A flower essence can be a wonderful part of your wellness routine in this process.”
Mental & Emotional Support
Humans have historically used flowers and herbs for health restoration. Their distinctive beneficial qualities (phytochemicals) can be distilled into tinctures, essential oils, and flower essences.

What Are Flower Essences?
Flower essences differ from perfumes, essential oils, and tinctures. They function as support at the mental and emotional level and can complement personal spiritual practices.

How to Take
Like tinctures, flower essences are typically ingested by placing drops under the tongue or diffused in water for sipping.
Creating Flower Essences at Cortesia Sanctuary
The craft of making flower essences has centuries-old roots. Processes vary by practitioner, though the finest essences derive from the flower itself rather than divination alone.
Sourcing & Selection
Most flowers are organically cultivated in a 2-acre garden or wildcrafted from the surrounding forests and meadows at the 22-acre Cortesia Sanctuary. Only one or two especially fine blossoms from each variety are selected to create an essence. Each flower undergoes careful, loving selection for optimal potency. The resulting blend reflects extensive meditation and reflection on human needs and aspirations.
Preparation
Essences are prepared using untreated water and preserved with premium brandy for freshness (accounting for slight taste upon consumption).

Individuals possess greater capability than they may recognize. The seeds of beneficial qualities and healing already exist within us — they simply need nurturing. Flower essences support the mental process of taking steps toward worthy healing and comfort goals.

Staying Positive
Cortesia Flower Essences are described through the lens of positive qualities one aspires to develop, not negative conditions requiring change. Daily repetition and visualization of aspirations create motivation to evolve progressively along a continuum of self-expression.
