How to Take Flower Essences

⏱️ HOW DO I TAKE THEM? WHAT'S THE RIGHT DOSE? ?

The classic flower essence dose is:
4 drops, 4 times a day. That’s it.

You can take the drops directly under your tongue or add them to water, tea, juice—whatever works. YOU'LL GET THE BEST RESULTS WHEN YOU USE THEM CONSISTENTLY and with a moment of mindfulness (a few deep breaths, a quick check-in). But honestly? The most important thing is **just taking them.**

Busy brain trick: Add 10–15 drops to a water bottle or glass and sip throughout the day. Super effective, especially if you forget things like... your lunch. Or to pick your kid up at daycare.

In acute situations (like a panic attack or a big emotional event), you can take a dose every 10–15 minutes until you feel more stable. Rescue Remedy is especially helpful here.

📅 HOW LONG DOES A BOTTLE LAST?

If you’re taking it as directed (4 drops, 4 times daily), a 1 oz. bottle will last about 4–5 weeks. A 2 oz. bottle will last 8-10 weeks.

🧊 HOW DO I CARE FOR MY FLOWER ESSENCE?

Super easy. Just treat it with a little respect:
- Keep it away from direct sunlight, heat, and strong energy sources (like electronics or magnets).
- Don’t touch the dropper to your mouth or hands. Bacteria = bottle funk.
- If the liquid ever turns cloudy or gross in any way, toss it and reuse the bottle after cleaning it thoroughly.
- No need to refrigerate unless it’s been compromised.

Stored properly, flower essence formulas last at least 2 years. Some of Dr. Bach’s original blends are still going strong at over 100 years old. Pretty wild, right?
