Using the Essences

The essences come in 10 ml dropper bottles, containing organic vodka (as a preservative) and spring water.

There are several ways to take the essences...

 - They may be taken directly from the bottle. The recommended dose for is three or four drops, up to three times a day, directly into your mouth (being careful to avoid touching your mouth with the pipette in order to keep it clean), or into a glass of water. It is the frequency of the dosage that is important, not how much is taken. Taking a larger amount does not give you a 'bigger' dose.

 - Alternatively, you can make up another bottle by filling a dropper bottle with a 50/50 mixture of water and brandy or vodka (the alcohol acts as a preservative). Into this, place a few drops of the essence, then shake the new bottle vigorously to activate it. In this way, a bottle can be made combining the energies of several Power Animal Essences. It is suggested that up to a maximum of four Power Animal Essences can be added to make a combination bottle. This combination bottle is then used as above (i.e. three or four drops, up to three times a daily).

 - A few drops of the essences may be added to baths. They may also be made up into spray bottles. Or they can be rubbed directly into the skin (especially into points such as the temples, abdomen, wrists, and the top of the head). Alternatively, a few drops can be added to a bottle of water, and the contents drunk throughout the day.

The essences may be taken as one-off doses in acute situations, or for prolonged periods of days, weeks or even months where necessary.
