The Healing Power of Flower Essences

There has been scientific research on the healing power of flower essences. This research explains these potential benefits of flowers, and they include the following.

Potential Healing Powers of Flower Essences

Flower essences are used for anxiety.

Flower essences such as lavender and eucalyptus essential oils have several benefits for people that suffer from anxiety. Some studies have shown that flower essence therapy (or aromatherapy) may help reduce anxiety for adults and kids.

Flower essences are used for pain.

Various studies report that flower essence therapy (when used topically) helps to ease pain, such as the minor chronic pain found in people that suffer from carpal tunnel syndrome. These participants applied flower essence cream (or diluted essential oil drops into a carrier oil such as jojoba oil) onto external parts of their body suffering from this pain and ended up feeling better. (Note: Keep oil away from the eyes and open wounds.)

From this study, these essences could have properties biologically that aid in making that part of the body feel better. However, further research is needed.

Possible Side Effects and Risks

Because flower essences are solutions that are diluted, they are relatively safe when used properly. Just like every type of remedy, these essences could still have unwanted side effects.

List of Possible Side Effects

Practitioners say that these could cause:

1. Headache

2. Skin rashes

3. Fatigue

Different practitioners state that these are pretty safe, but you should be careful, especially when you are breastfeeding or pregnant. Always check in with your doctor or medical health care professional before using flower essences to reduce anxiety, pain, or stress.

So, there we have it, flower essences may have a lot of healing powers and may have some disadvantages too.
