JTG #45 Flower Elixirs With Katie Hess Founder of Lotuswei
Did you know that there’s such a thing as a Flower Alchemist?
And did you know that the innate healing intelligence contained in the essence of a flower can act on our emotional, physical and mental bodies?
I’ve witnessed firsthand the incredible healing power of flower elixirs (I tell the whole story on the episode 45) and Katie, founder of @lotuswei, has a lot to share as to why they WORK and why you may want to consider adding flower essences to your plant farmacy.
What a treat to have Katie Hess, founder of LotusWei on the podcast to talk about the healing qualities of flower essences.
