Personalized Pet Essence Remedy   Dr. Jean is available for private consultations to create a personalized essence remedy for your animal companion (pet products page).   Dr. Jean has helped hundreds of animals with individualized formulas since she started consulting in 1995.   Dr. Jean has worked with many species, including dogs, cats, birds, horses, wildlife, and even pigs!

Flower essences (remedies) are specially prepared extracts of the flowering parts of certain plants.   They work through energy fields to heal stress and disease from the inside.   Flower essences were first developed by Dr. Edward Bach, an English physician who gave up his busy practice to study and prepare the 38 flower essences which now bear his name.   We frequently use essences to help with emotional, physical, and behavioral problems in animals.

Dr. Edward Bach, the English physician who created the Bach Flower Remedies, developed the philosophy that underlies all vibration essences.   Such essences are part of the broader category of "energy medicines," because they work through energy fields rather than specific physical effects.   They create their effects by altering vibrations on the energetic plan of the individual.   In this way they are similar to aromatherapy or homeopathy.

Since Dr. Bach's time, many other essences have been created around the world, not only from flowers, but also from gems, minerals, animals, butterflies, lakes, sacred earth sites, stars, celestial phenomena, and Ascended Masters.   Many of them are very useful in helping our animals recover from trauma, injury, and stress.  These non-flower essences are often referred to as "energy" or "vibrational" essences.

Dr. Bach believed that the true causes of disease are negative emotions and mental states such as fear, doubt, indecision, indifference, impatience, and grief.   Animals, too, can manifest behavioral or even physical problems stemming from emotional causes.   Essences basically correct underlying negatives emotional states by "flooding' the individual with the opposite, positive quality.

Because disease begins on an energetic level, it can be prevented and healed at the same level.   PetEssiance™ Well Pet Energy Essences support healthy mental, emotional, and spiritual states in our animal companions by encouraging positive responses to the stresses of everyday living.

PetEssiance™ Well Pet Essences are very easy to use!   They can be given by mouth, added to food or water, applied topically, or used in a spray bottle to infuse an area with peaceful, healing, uplifting energy.

What are Energy Essences?   They are subtle energy remedies from the plant, sea and mineral kingdom.   These energy imprints of their source, can impact on the human, animal, or any living entity in a life supporting way.   Their effects can influence all aspects of being – physical, emotional, mental or spiritual.   They promote harmony and balance. By definition, and by it's very nature, and its intrinsic value- another way to explain this, is by its “vibration.”   All physical matter has a vibration as well as its gross physical structure and appearance.   All living things will manifest a different vibration depending upon its emotional or physical state – i.e. fear, grief, happiness, dis-ease etc.

How do they work?   While the life form (plant, animal or human), has a complex electrical system that is present and connecting every cell, in dis-ease the vibratory rate alters from one of well-ness.   Essences restore harmony to vibratory patterns and work on both conscious and subconscious faculties.   Various stressors, traumas, and other life experiences, may cause these circuits to alter and create imbalances.   Flower and other energy essences assist by providing a holographic pattern for wellness and that the blueprint for healing.   They do not alter body chemistry but act as subtle catalysts for awareness and change to help remove imbalances in the system so that the body can bring itself back into a natural state of harmony.

We know that, in humans, mental and emotional upset can have lasting physical effects.   The cause, however, is internal, and we must heal from the inside.   Animals too, have an active mental and emotional life.   Therefore, they can similarly manifest behavioral or physical problems that have their roots in emotional stress.  Stress-related conditions in animals include asthma, urinary tract problems, conjunctivitis, and gastrointestinal upset (vomiting and/or diarrhea).   Of course, there may be underlying physical causes for these diseases, but acute flare-ups are very often due to emotional stress.  And essences can help the animal heal the physical problems as well.

Essences heal underlying negative emotional states by "flooding" the patient with the opposite, positive quality.   For example, the essence of Holly is love.   Use Holly in any situation where there is a lack of love, such as anger, jealousy or rage.  Similarly, the essence of Rock Rose is courage: it is helpful in cases of deep fears, panic, and terror.

Petessiance remedies are very easy to give!   They can be administered by mouth, or in food or water.   Just a few drops (3-5) at a time are sufficient.   To increase the effect, give more often rather than more volume.   Add a dropper-full to a spray bottle filled with spring water, and use it to spray a room, carrier, car, or around litter boxes.   Or put a few drops in your hand and massage around the head and ears.

Since Petessiance remedies act energetically, not physically, they are completely safe and non-toxic   . They cannot be overused or misused, and are compatible with all other treatments.   Even if you give the wrong remedy, it will not have any negative effects, but simply no effect.   This means you can put Petessiance remedies in food and water bowls, even when several animals share them.

In dis-ease the vibratory rate alters from one of well-ness.  Essences restore harmony to vibratory patterns and work on both conscious and subconscious faculties.
