Basil Flower Essence Recipe
My favorite way to understand and use Basil’s magical properties is by making a flower essence. A flower essence is a special water that has been infused with a plant’s energetic properties. If you are lucky enough to live in an area where basil grows and flowers you can easily make an essence.
I was taught to make solar flower essences using this method, and I’d love to share this recipe with you.
