Plant essences, also known as flower remedies, help us deepen our relationship with nature to support our emotional wellbeing as we navigate life and all it presents for us. Plant essences help us create a quantum, energetic connection with plant allies and are a beautiful form of nature-based care.
Plant essences work at an energetic level. They do not contraindicate with other medications and can be used by anyone of any age.
Archeus plant essences are made from plants and trees growing organically in our gardens and surrounding reserves. Only small amounts of plant material is needed, and this is harvested according to season, lunar and planetary transits.
The idea of working with plant essences to tap into the healing aspects of plants is not new. For example, in the 16th Century, Paracelsus spoke of gathering dew from plants and using it to help his patients. Hildegard of Bingen in the 12th Century wrote about the way different plants helped manage different emotions, and renaissance physician and philosopher Marsilio Ficino said that we should find our 'sympathetic vibration' in Nature.
These days we seem to need research to tell us what we already knew, that Nature has the capacity to bring great healing to our own wellbeing.
But here at Archeus, the idea of connecting to Nature is inherent in everything offered. The essences created here have been used in a wide range of contexts including:
confidence
healing after the ending of a relationship
job interviews
performing arts
stress
unlocking creativity
ceremonies
funerals
end of life
weddings
birth
