FAQs

What are flower essences?

Flower essences, also known as flower remedies, are crafted from the flowering part of wild plants, bushes or trees through homeopathic preparation — a dilution to the extent where there is no actual “matter” present. This method of treatment to help us balance our emotional state was discovered in the 1930′s by Dr. Edward Bach, a renowned British physician and bacteriologist. Flower essences are scentless, unlike aromatherapy or essential oils, and are taken internally in the form of liquid drops under the tongue.

How do flower essences work?

Flower essences affect and shift the bioenergetic field of a person and are considered “vibrational medicine,” similar to acupuncture, homeopathy, and, in a somewhat unique way, micro-dosing. Often conventional medicine works to suppress negative emotional states and symptoms, but flower essences stimulate its higher octave — the exact frequency we need to shift through and overcome a negative emotional state.

I’m a therapist and/or professional in the wellness industry, are these flower essences supportive for my clients?

The Truthing Lab formulations is a system unto itself. Additionally, they can complement (not replace) the benefits of traditional and holistic medical practices. Flower essence literature suggests they have no known side-effects and can be used alongside other treatments.

Do I have to take the formulations in order?

For the greatest benefit and integration, it is highly recommended by design to take The Truthing Lab formulations in order.

How long does it take for the formulation to work?

Depending on how long you’ve experienced a certain state or issue, some formulas can work right away and sometimes it will take 3-4 weeks to uncover its layers. Effects are cumulative and must be taken as directed to experience the benefits.

Can I take more than one formulation at a time?

We do not recommend taking more than one formula at time, as it lessens the effectiveness — however, if you use Bach Rescue Remedy, it can be taken at any time if necessary. Flower essences are specifically designed to focus the body and mind’s energy field on a specific state and healing — if you add another formula into the mix, it will diminish and reduce its effect, Two formulas may even cancel each other out to protect the mind and body from overwhelm. Slow and steady with one formula at a time is best.

How do I take flower essences?

Standard dosage is 4 drops, 4 times per day under the tongue.

Taking more drops does not increase its dosage, however if a state is more acute, it can be increased from 4 times a day to every hour for a period of need. If more support is required contact your healthcare professional.

How long is one formulation recommended for?

3-4 weeks (1 bottle lasts around 3-4 weeks). Each bottle is intended to be finished before moving forward to the next formulation. In some cases, a longer-standing issue that is connected to one formulation’s specific focus requires longer treatment, then you can take it for up to 12 weeks.

What can I expect when I take flower essences?

Many experience an immediate increase in awareness of their pattern of imbalance. Conditions improve over time, unique to each formulation, through an increase of awareness, more space and consciousness between reaction and action, and overall perception and inner well-being.

For some, in the first few days more rest is required. Follow your own cues and take what you need.

Can people who are sensitive to alcohol use the formulations?

That’s up to you. Many would consider the minimal daily amount (4 drops of organic grape brandy diluted in spring water) to be negligible. You may also further dilute the dose in your drink of choice.

For pregnancy, nursing, or children, you can further dilute or use the essences topically. Whatever your needs or your comfort level require.

Can I take flower essences if I have allergies to pollens/trees?

Similarly to homeopathic preparations, flower essences are so diluted that they contain no measurable amount of the original plant material, and are therefore considered safe for allergy sufferers.

If there is an allergy to alcohol, then Truthing Lab Essences are not to be used.

Are flower essences addictive and/or do they have side effects?

Flower essences are renowned for their gentleness. Research suggests that they are non-addictive, with no known side effects, making them suitable for anyone — except those who suffer from mental health issues, then refrain from flower essences and seek professional mental health care.

Can flower essences interfere with medication, or medication interfere with the effects of flower essences?

Flower Essences do not interfere with any other treatment, and are considered complimentary to any medication, treatment, or therapy. Medication, alcohol, coffee, or CBD will not interfere with their action.

Flower essences are not a replacement of any medications. Please consult your physician for further questions.

How long do formulations last and what is the best way to store them?

All our formulations are protected in the highest quality, Miron UV glass bottles. If stored away from heat and light when not in use, formulas last at least two years. We use high quality, organic brandy as a preservative, to protect the formulations from spoilage.

Avoid touching the glass dropper to your mouth when taking drops, as it should be kept clean. If this does occurs, simply rinse it off with clean, hot water.

Store bottles that are not being used upright, away from direct sunlight, heat sources, and electronics. The bottle in use does not need to be stored upright.

Truthing Lab Flower Essences are produced in a clean, non-sterile space. Cross-contamination in rare circumstances may occur.
