Flower Cards are an increasingly popular means of getting to know the flower essences and how to use them.

Each card contains a photo of a flower and an indication of its use. The photos help you to understand the clues nature has given to the healing qualities of each flower by its shape and colour - what is often termed the Doctrine of Signatures. When taking a particular essence, it is often helpful to see what the flower looks like.

The cards will help you choose which essences you need in an intuitive manner. This is particularly helpful if you are feeling confused or not able to make a choice on a purely mental level by reading the descriptions of the flower essences.

Some therapists ask their clients to pick a card at the end of a session to determine which essence is needed to anchor the work that they have done together.

The cards can be used in a variety of ways, one of which is called "visual tuning". Slowly and deliberately look through the cards and select the three photos you are most attracted to. If you have a strong aversion to a card, pull this out as well. See if the messages on the cards provide new insights into issues you are dealing with at the moment, or perhaps point to something that you are resisting.

Cards are available in the following essence ranges:
