Jan de Vries 12 Flower Essences

Emergency Essence is the first line of support. No one should be without a bottle. Designed for the relief of short term acute emotional stresses such as panic attacks, accidents, dentist visit, fear of flying, bereavement. Brings calm and clarity.

Female Essence is designed to help particularly with the many symptoms of PMS or menopause, but can also be used as a general strengthener for women who have no choice but to be superhuman.

Male Essence is for men who are tired and over stressed with the demands of work, losing touch with their more sensitive side. This combination can bring valuable support and personality balance.

Child Essence is designed to calm and normalise a child's behaviour, a godsend for harassed parents. Promoting confidence, it can also help them move through the stages of growing up with greater ease.

Night Essence is designed to calm a worried, over active mind and general restlessness. It encourages better quality sleep and is also an ideal choice for long term everyday stress. Flower essences are balancers and not reported as subduing behaviour.

Bowel Essence is designed to bring relief and to help normalise the system. Bowel problems are often the result of an unsuitable diet, but certain negative emotional conditions, such as extreme stress, are known to exacerbate the discomfort. Also useful for digestive discomfort when travelling.

Vitality Essence, taken regularly, is an excellent choice to alleviate tiredness caused by long term stress, illness or whilst convalescing. However, a few drops in a glass of water can be taken as a short term lift if you feel tired and still have an evening's activity to get through. Do not, however, use this as a substitute for regular sleep and, if the fatigue continues, consult the doctor.

Concentration Essence helps to keep the mind clear during periods of excessive mental work, so is supportive during study periods, assignments, business deadlines or that Monday morning feeling. Add to your water bottle and sip during exams. It can also be taken as a treatment to generate self confidence and gain inner clarity.

Are you sad, suffering from the 'blues', always the eternal pessimist or just lost faith in life? Mood Essence is for times when everything is getting you down. Let it lighten your view and help you to develop a more uplifting, optimistic approach to living. Remember if your systems persist you should seek the advice of a health care professional

Confidence Essence has been especially designed to restore self-trust and confidence in cases of temporary set backs. Anxieties recede and it is easier to let go of past failures and embrace challenges once more. Ideal also for a more long term lack of confidence, such as a shy, nervous child who may be the victim of bullying.

Relaxation Essence can help deal with things more effectively as it takes you into a calm and clear space within yourself where you can stop, unwind and feel refreshed.

Craving Essence taps into natural inner strengths in order to help control cravings and calm the tensions of the withdrawal phase. It supports a positive frame of mind to obtain the goal and helps establish a more healthy rhythm of life. Particularly beneficial when used alongside any other treatment for addictions such as complementary therapies and support groups.
