I’m feeling great now, but a week ago I temporarily fell off my emotional horse. I was feeling overwhelmed on my day job and horrified by the news from Lahaina, I wasn’t sleeping, and things I normally take in stride on social media were throwing me for a loop. Suddenly everyone I know was freaking out about climate change, and I know TOO much about climate change myself because that’s what my day job is all about. So everyone else’s angst and despair combined with my own, and next thing I knew my back went out —for no reason except me getting out of bed with a bad attitude—and I wound up taking a couple of sick days from work so I could sleep if off.
That worked. But it got me thinking about the kind of challenging times when you are not just dealing with your personal stuff (which might be bad enough), but also the distress of the people around you! What flower essence tools would I want to have on hand? No doubt, the ones I was using myself! I started to write them down and realized at one point, what a second, I already have a tool box like that. I made a care package gift box called the “Challenging Times Support Set” more than a year ago and then forgot all about it.
This special support set is made when you order it. It includes a scented flower essence aromatherapy spray aura mist, 4 flower essence dropper bottles, and information on what flower essences are and how to use them—all presented in a gift box, appropriate for giving or using for yourself.
Here is what’s in it:
2 oz Support for Troubled Times Flower Essence
Aromatherapy Scented Spray
While I carry this product unscented and in dropper bottle form, I always use this as a scented spray or oil because the combination of flower essences and essential oils work so well together and the scent is wonderful! It contains Splendid Mariposa Lily, Green-Cross Gentian, Star of Bethlehem, and Self-Heal flower essences for the comforting feeling of a long deep hug, for the ability to persist when things feel so hard you don’t know if you can manage it, soothing for emotional upset, and for supporting a deep sense of wholeness from the inside out. This is combined with Rose, Ylang-Ylang, Jasmine, Angelica, Rosewood essential oils for feeling loved, safe, grounded and protected, to ease sadness and pain, to encourage relaxation, and ease a worried mind.
1oz Emotional Rescue Flower Essence Formula
You always need this formula in your medicine cabinet! This is my Reiki-infused version of Dr. Edward Bach’s well-known Rescue Remedy. This is the one to turn to in emergency situations when you’re panicking or in great pain or deep turmoil. It contains Impatiens, Clematis, Star of Bethlehem, Rock Rose, Cherry Plum and provides deeply soothing calming emotional relief.
1oz Releasing Worry and Fear Flower Essence Formula
This is the most popular product in my shop. It contains Larch, Rock Rose, and White Chestnut flower essences for increased courage and self-confidence, inner strength in the face of great challenge, healthier beliefs about what you are capable of, and the ability to deeply relax. It can also help if occasional anxiousness is keeping you awake at night.
1 oz Restful Nights Flower Essence Formula
Contains Nicotiana, Chamomile, and Rock Water flower essences for releasing tension and overly rigid emotional mindsets while encouraging balance and a deeply relaxed and peaceful state of mind. Use it earlier in the evening and then again right before bed for several nights or longer to promote deep relaxation before bed.
1 oz Inner Strength and Protection Formula
This is the one for all you empaths, caregivers, and helpers out there, and anyone finding themselves overwhelmed by the idea of what might be going on for someone else! It contains Red Chestnut, Star of Bethlehem, Pink Yarrow, and Golden Yarrow for feeling protected and secure so you can take care of others from a place of trust instead of fear, for setting appropriate emotional boundaries, and for the ability to give of yourself without depletion when required and come back to yourself when you’re done.
All these products are made at “dosage” strength—meaning they do need to be (and should not be) diluted. They are already at the perfect strength to use right away. They are also infused with Reiki by me to be the most beneficial products I can make. You have a choice of conventional brandy or organic vodka for the preservative used in the flower essences.

Mama Love products are intended to add to a person’s sense of well-being. They all have worked for me and many of my customers. But nothing I make is a one size fits all magic pill; neither are they drugs of any sort. In other words, flower essences may not be effective for everyone. Individual results may vary. Claims made by me are based on the evidence of years of case notes by Dr. Edward Bach as well as Healing Herbs and Flower Essence Services (the companies who make the ingredients I use in my products).
