SELECTING AND USING ESSENCES

Questions and Answers

How do you actually use essences?

Essences are taken by mouth, a couple of drops once or twice a day - again, the dosage can be found by dowsing if need be, or, if you feel confident enough, just trust your intuition! If it is difficult to remember to take a second dose, then two drops once a day is a good dosage to use. The time of day does not matter; the main thing is to get into a routine so that you can take them every day.

The essence can be taken straight from the bottle, but if you wish to make it last, either for personal use or because you are a therapist using it on clients, then another (dosage) bottle can be made up, using several drops from this stock bottle, and again, adding to spring water and an alcohol of choice - generally vodka or brandy. Instructions for this are included on the labels of the bottles, but a typical spring water to alcohol ratio is 4:1.

If you do not like the taste of the alcohol used to preserve the essence, then add the drops to water.

Some people who are very sensitive to energies like to just apply them on their bodies - such as hands, wrists or chakra points.
