Flower Power and the Forgotten Language of Plants.

Flower Power and the Forgotten Language of Plants. The autonomic nervous system is a control system functioning largely below the level of consciousness. It is classically divided into two subsystems: the parasympathetic nerves system and sympathetic nervous system. The sympathetic nervous system is often referred to as " fight or flight” and is associated with adrenaline and cortisol production. The parasympathetic nervous system is the function of rest and recharge. In our high energy, fast paced lives, we find ourselves more and more likely to be in a state of fight or flight, which is can be described as “stress”. A high state of stress over long periods of time directly affects the immune system and leads to a variety of disorders. For women, autoimmune disorders are common and in men, heart attacks and stroke. We spend too much time in a chronic high adrenaline state, and not enough in rest and recharge. The good news is we can consciously choose to make a shift from stressful to non stressful state. There are many techniques that have been used for centuries to help us shift from fight or flight to rest and recharge. Mediation, yoga, massage and acupuncture are all proven methods to reduce stress and lower adrenaline and cortisol levels. Unfortunately it may not always be convenient to get a massage or meditate for 30 minutes during our busy, action packed day. *Energetic Aromatherapy by Kauai Herbals is a new and cutting edge energetic remedy created to help institute this shift anywhere and anytime of the day or night. It is a foundational healing modality that utilizes the calming clearing attributes of aromatherapy as well as the subtle energetics of Bach inspired flower essences using a variety of Hawaiian flower blossoms sustainably wild crafted from the jungles of Kauai. Founder and creator Shanon Mason has been living and working in the islands for over 30 years and studying traditional and native herbalism, huna and a wide range of holistic modalities. She is able to tap into a vast reserve of plant based energetics and physical constituents of plants. Using hydro-distillation the essences are captured and rarified within a spring water solution. “It’s all about listening to and building a relationship with our natural environment like the Hawaiians did.” “My kumu’s taught me to listen to the na’au.” Literally translated this means both the lower abdomen AND wisdom.” “In simply terms we westerners can relate to this as a Gut Feeling and is one of our most powerful tools. Shanon Goes on to say, “The Hawaiians of old were so in touch with their natural environment that the kahuna la’au lapa au (master herbalists) had developed a language by which they communicated with plants. This language is based in subtle energy and operates at the na’ua, the gut feeling level of consciousness. This is an amazing gift passed down by the ancients which I am grateful for everyday.” It is through this technique of deeply listening to our environment that inspired *Energetic Aromatherapy and to date these products have helped hundreds of people relieve stress, lower blood pressure and cortisol levels, and inspire a personal connection with nature and the subtle healing properties of plants that have been all but forgotten from our synthesized, pharmaceutical society.”

Hydrosol, Flower Essences and Homeopathy--The Real Story

Hydrosol, Flower Essences and Homeopathy

Since 2001 I have been studying the art of distillation and over the years I have had the privilege to be a part of the growing hydrosol movement. It is a pleasure to see more and more people becoming aware of the great benefits these herbal waters can provide. It is important to realize however that hydrosols--in and of themselves--are not energetic by nature or considered homeopathy anymore than adding water to concentrated orange juice creates a orange homeopathic remedy. They just aren't folks. Homeopathy is a form of alternative medicine, first proposed by German physician Samuel Hahnemann in 1796, that treats patients with heavily diluted preparations which cause effects similar to the symptoms presented. This is referred to as “like treating like.” Homeopathic remedies are prepared by serial dilution with shaking by forceful striking, which homeopaths term "succession," after each dilution it increases the energetic effect of the treatment. Homeopaths call this process "potentization". Dilution often continues until none of the original substance remains. It is possible to create a homeopathic remedy from a hydrosol by succussing and diluting however this information is required to be displayed on the label. 1x 2x or 3x are the most common succession ratios.

Flower essences on the other hand are aqueous extracts of the fresh flowers of various plants chosen for their effects on specific mental or emotional symptoms. These are created by sun-soaking the wild flower blossoms and adding a preservative such as alcohol. Bach flower essences are the most widely recognized essences of this kind because Dr. Edward Bach first discovered this technique and documented the extraordinary results he received form using these essences in his practice.

It is from this modality that our energetic remedies have evolved. We have discovered a natural process of combining the energetic quality of flower essences and formulating them within the distillation process. This proprietary process has been developed over many years to create a new and exciting type of energetic remedy that influence the external energy fields of the body while stimulating the limbic system through aromatherapy. Energy Essences are energetically infused hydrosol unlike anything else on the market. Click on the link below to learn more about our formulations.
