About Flora Corona
Founded by Deborah Craydon, FES Certified Flower Essence Practitioner, Flora Corona, was originally an educational non-profit organization for the Goethean study of plants, which has developed into a small company that focuses in education via online flower essence and gem elixir certification courses, and production of vibrational gems and flowers with an emphasis on their application to the skin.
A pioneer of new topical skin applications, Deborah’s co-authored book ‘Floral Acupuncture - Applying the Flower Essences of Dr. Bach to Acupuncture Sites is the first to show the specific acupuncture points for each of Dr. Edward Bach’s original 38 flower essences.
Working in conjunction with licensed acupuncturist Warren Bellows, Deborah has found that both flower essences and gem elixirs activate specific acupuncture meridians. Each of the bottles in these repertories can be applied to meridian maps on the body (COMING SOON- Flora Corona booklets showing how to apply each flower and gem essence to their meridian source points).
WHAT ARE MERIDIANS AND WHY APPLY FLOWER ESSENCES AND GEM ELIXIRS TO THEM?
Meridians are long lines of energy that course up and down the body like rivers. These fourteen main meridians are punctuated at intervals with ‘vortices’’ called acupuncture points. While invisible to the human eye, meridians and their acupuncture points can be sensed with electrical devices as a lessening of skin tension at the acu-site. Known and utilized for thousands of years by the Chinese, this meridian map on the body receives life force of ‘chi’ from sunlight and sends this vital energy to the various organs in the body.
Each flower and gem activates a specific ‘river’ or meridian on the human body. Applying a flower or gem essence to it’s prime meridian via the meridian source point, bypasses the metabolic, digestive and bloodstream systems of their traditional internal use. The essence is delivered to the body in a way that is uniquely refreshing and directly energizing.
ABOUT FLORA CORONA PRODUCTS
Flower essences and gem elixirs are usually in opaque amber or blue bottles. The transparent Flora Corona bottles were developed in order make it easy for you to choose the ones you need by simple attraction to the color photos of particular gems or flowers- a method of self-diagnosis that has proved effective in clinical settings- including with children and adults. The bottles are also water-proof.
The solution in the Flora Corona bottles- composed of vegetable glycerin/ brandy and spring water- is formulated by former bio-chemist for WALLA Heilmittel/ Dr. Hauschka Skin Care, Glyn Craydon.
The gem elixirs are made using the gemstones pictured on the bottles and most are made using high quality faceted gemstones rather than raw or tumbled stones, a technique which gives the elixirs a special sparkle and freshness.
All the flower essences are made using wild-crafted flowers from the Big Island, Hawaii as well as oceanside, redwood forests and pristine mountain areas in California.
About Flower Essences
Flower essences are natural remedies made from the flowers of plants. They were developed by the medical doctor, Edward Bach, in the 1930’s, whose original 38 flower essences are used world-wide today by health care practitioners including physicians, chiropractors, massage therapists and others.
Flower essences are often confused with essential oils, which are fragrant oils- made by steam distilling using large amounts of plant material to extract the aromatic oils in certain plants.
Flower essences, on the other hand, are water solutions, made by covering the surface of a bowl of pure water with plant blossoms, and setting this bowl in early morning sunlight on a cloudless day. The sun, like a camera, imprints the flower’s vibration into water, the resulting sun-infused water contains the ‘essence’ of the flower that contains a specific floral message.
How Could Water Infused with the Energy of a Flower Be Healing?
Flowers speak the language of the human soul. Every flower on earth is part of a botanical alphabet and there is a flower that corresponds and matches every human thought and feeling. Using the right flower essence- restores happiness to feelings of sadness, peace to feelings of anger and frustration and acceptance to an anxiety- ridden mind.
