Are flower essences safe for children and pets?
Yes, they are safe. The active ingredient is energy. If it is not an essence that they need it will do nothing and if it is something they need, it will be helpful. The essences are usually preserved with brandy and water. There is not enough alcohol in it to become drunk, only enough to preserve it. There is less alcohol in a remedy than is naturally found in a banana! Essences can be administered to kids and pets in alternate ways besides orally. If the alcohol is still a concern, remedies can be prepared with vegetable glycerin or apple cider vinegar as a preservative. Flower essences can be very effective for children and animals because they do not have as many mental barriers built up against healing. Back to top.
