The FES Quintessentials flower essences are liquid potentized extracts derived from flowers grown in the Biodynamic gardens at Terra Flora, or pristine wildflower habitats. Created in "Nature’s laboratory" through a careful orchestration of the four elements of Earth, Water, Air, and Fire, FES essences combine the fifth quintessential element of the sensitive attunement and awareness of the preparer to produce remedies which serve to nourish the human soul.

The FES Quintessentials were developed to meet the needs of modern consciousness, adding to those identified by Dr.Edward Bach in the 1930s.  The Quintessentials flower essences include remedies for current issues such as interpersonal and family relationships, spiritual unfoldment, career concerns, over-sensitivity, creativity, sexuality, and much more.

Corroborated by 20 years of case studies and practitioner reports from around the world, the FES Quintessentials have developed a solid professional reputation for excellence and efficacy.   These remarkable remedies occupy a unique niche in the health care spectrum as they address the emotional and psychological aspects of mind-body wellness.
