Good questions
What is the difference between a flower essence and an essential oil?
Per the guide, flower essences carry an energetic imprint with no physical plant parts and focus on emotional and spiritual well-being, while essential oils are concentrated plant compounds used for aromatic and physical benefits.
How are flower essences traditionally made?
Flowers are submerged in spring water, the water is boiled or left in sunlight, then filtered and preserved with brandy. Variations use non-flowering plants, crystals or no alcohol.
What's the difference between print and PDF?
Print is a sturdy double-sided card (about 6.3 x 9.4 in) that ships with your order. The PDF is the same two pages as a file you can download right after checkout and print at home.
