Flowers are used in many cultures as reverent offerings and in herbal medicine and vibrational medicine they are some of the greatest remedies available to us. In the Victorian language of flowers they were used as codes to express emotion - honeysuckle for devotion, azaleas for passion, tulips for the perfect lover - there are many more with the history of each connection stemming from different folk and cultural references, and of course direct experience. Most familiar to us perhaps is the remedial use of flowers in the essences that were popularly developed by physician Edward Bach. This was actually an ancient Egyptian technique and many people, and animals respond almost immediately to these emotional aids. In Mexico they use flowers on all the alters and in the healing work flowers are used over the body cleansing away negative thoughts, imprints and focus us on joy, and pure intentions instead. They are magic!
