About Tree Frog Farm Flower Essences

At Tree Frog Farm, we work in a mutually- supportive, co-creative partnership with Nature to produce high quality essences of Pacific Northwest native plants, medicinal herbs and other garden plants. Our essences reflect the temperate rain forest lushness of the Pacific Northwest and the purposes of Tree Frog Farm.

Tree Frog Farm specializes in offering flower essences in a non-alcoholic base of Red Shiso and organic vinegar, or we can provide our flower essences in the customary alcohol brandy base. In Japanese, Shiso means purple leaf. Red Shiso is a robust member of the mint family, grows into lush 3-4' high plants of deep magenta color. It is used extensively in macrobiotic food preparation. Besides contributing flavor and a distinctive red color, Red Shiso contains “perilla aldehyde,” which gives it antimicrobial properties. From the dried herb, we make an infusion in Lummi Island spring water then add a small amount of vinegar to further strengthen the red shiso's preservative qualities.

The Red Shiso's high vibrational frequency complements that of the flower essences. It also provides herbal healing properties relating to the respiratory system and issues of the heart chakra. Since some people are sensitive to vinegar or may prefer brandy as a preservative, we also offer our essences in brandy.

As a final stabilization, all of our essences are placed in a Genesa Crystal* (a sacred geometry sculpture made of copper tubing) by a quartz crystal and Buddha statue.

Taking Care of Flower Essences

Buddha & Kwan Yin

Here are a few simple procedures for taking care of our essences.

  1. 1. If you touch the dropper in any way, run water over it for about 15 seconds then shake it off, before returning it to the bottle. Any contact whether its your mouth, hand or a table top will alter the vibrational purity of the essence.
  2. Keep the essences sitting upright in the bottle out of direct light when not in use. This protects the vibrational quality and keeps the essence from taking on the taste of the rubber stopper.
  3. Store the essences in a place that feels safe, respectful, and of moderate temperature. This is pretty much common sense. Don't store them where children can get into them. They won't harm them; actually they are quite good for children when used properly. However, they are in glass bottles with glass droppers and are not a plaything. Store them in a respectful place, not in a junk room or overcrowded closet. Also, keep the boxes out of direct sunlight or heat. If they get too hot it will reduce their shelf life.
  4. Squeeze the remaining contents of the dropper back into the bottle before putting the dropper back into the bottle. Essence caught in the dropper may lose its vibrational integrity.
  5. If for any reason, you sense that the vibrational quality of an essence has been compromised, ask to speak with the Deva of Flower Essences and ask that your essence be restored to full potency. There is no complicated procedure. Just ask and it is done.
