To celebrate Becca Hunter's visit to Yorkshire this month, we are delighted to highlight The Handbook of Bailey Flower Essences by Arthur Bailey, the founder of Bailey Flower Essences. Becca is Arthur's step-daughter and she ran the business from 1993 until 2016 when it came under the umbrella of Yorkshire Flower Essences. Becca now lives in Canada but still feels a deep connection to Ilkley and the flower essences.

The Handbook gives details on the general background to the essences, selection of the appropriate ones to take, preparation of the dosage and full details including full colour pictures of all the individual and composite essences. It also includes the Five Elements Essences. All this information is available on the Yorkshire Flower Essences website, but it is wonderful to be able to flick through a physical book and to look at the pictures on paper.

❤️The Handbook is available during the month of May at a special price of £9.50. Please use the discount code Handbook at checkout.❤️

We are continuing Stress Awareness Month with a look at the Bailey composite Shock and Trauma Essence as it is the essence of choice for sudden or long-term negative life events.

When circumstances around us suddenly change, we can become very shocked. Whatever the cause, three things are needed to help us emerge from our traumas as rapidly and easily as possible. These are covered by the following three essences.

🌷Ivy
Ivy is to help us remain grounded and at ease. To resist the negative effects of what has happened, we need to be solidly rooted in the present moment, tenaciously holding on to life. Ivy is an excellent remedy for this.

🌷Scabious
Scabious helps to restore us with its gentle healing properties. It enables us to accept and perhaps learn from what has happened without emotional entanglement. It brings ease and comfort to the shaken being.

🌷Star of Bethlehem
Star of Bethlehem is for the immediate shock reaction. The emotional kick-back from sudden shock can have a devastating effect on our whole system, even causing us to faint. Star of Bethlehem works to cancel this immediate shock reaction, helping us to become more detached from what has actually happened.

❤️Shock and Trauma Essence is available with a 10% discount, valid until 30 April. Please use the discount code Calm at checkout.
The Bailey Tranquility Essence is also available with the same discount code.

April is Stress Awareness Month, and the theme for 2026 is . According to the Stress Management Society, " is about recognising that your mind is powerful,
your actions matter, and your connections are essential. It's about
being present, asking questions, taking ownership, and refusing to
wait. It's about self-belief meeting purposeful action. Whether it's a
small shift in your daily routine, reaching out to someone who
needs support, or challenging a stressful situation head-on, every
action counts" (https://www.stress.org.uk/wp-content/uploads/2026/02/Stress-Awareness-Month-2026-Information-Pack.pdf).

Flower essences can help towards achieving these goals so, over the month of April, we are going to look at some of the essences which can foster calm in our stressful lives and bring about change. ❤️These will be available with a 10% discount, valid until 30 April. Please use the discount code Calm at checkout

This week we are looking at the Bailey Tranquility Essence which brings peace to the over-active mind. It helps to empower us by bringing us into the present moment. Many of us do not lead a tranquil life: we are always busy and do not find peace within that busy-ness. This composite essence encourages us to change our attitude to life and to find peace within the storms of everyday. It includes the following essences:

🌸Fuji Cherry
Fuji Cherry Essence encourages both mind and body to relax so that we do not wind ourselves up unnecessarily. As we calm down, we gain new insights into our everyday life which enables us to do just the same work as before but without the emotional stress that comes from an over-tense mind.

🌸Heath Bedstraw
Heath Bedstraw Essence helps us to relax and trust our environment. It enables us to see that the world is not as threatening a place as it sometimes would seem. We become re-energised.

🌸Tree Mallow
Tree Mallow Essence is included for its healing and inspiring properties. As we become less tense, there is always a danger that we lose our drive, but Tree Mallow helps to regenerate it, this time from a more solid basis - a relaxed state of mind.

At the moment it looks like spring is teasing us in the UK. After a few warm, sunny days we are back to cold, wind and rain, even snow in some places. The calendar shows us it's definitely spring though so we are still in the season governed by the wood element.

The Bailey Wood Deficient Essence is a combination of the following:
🌷Lilac helps people who have had their mental and sometimes physical growth restricted to make their own decisions and be their own person.
🌷Lily of the Valley is concerned with yearning, spending time and energy in trying to attain the impossible. It helps in letting go of the past and assists in making plans.
🌷Oak gives us the strength, quiet power and resolution to press on with what lies ahead of us. It motivates us to carry through our decisions.
🌷Soapwort helps to bring the quiet insight needed to see which direction we should be heading in. It helps with focus and vision.
🌷Spring Squill gives a boost in energy to energise change and to help us feel comfortable in our new circumstances.
🌷Welsh Poppy is the flower for those who seem to have lost their way, whose drive and inspiration is lost. It helps to restart our travels on our chosen path.

Wood Deficient Essence is available with a special discount of 10% until 31 March. Please use the discount code Wood26 at checkout. This discount code is also available for the Wood Excess Essence.

07/03/2026

We can at last see signs of spring all around us - crocuses, daffodils, trees starting to blossom... Within the Chinese Five Elements system, spring is associated with the Wood Element which represents new beginnings.

Today we are looking at an excess of the Wood Element which the Bailey Wood Excess Essence can help to counter. This composite Essence contains the following individual essences:

🪻Leopardsbane
This essence is useful for major change points in life and for when we feel stuck and frustrated, and perhaps as though we are living on a knife-edge.

🪻Nasturtium
Nasturtium is helpful for when we need to make changes but seem unable to make the first move. It helps to move the feelings of stagnation.

🪻Red Poppy
Red Poppy helps us to leave past limitations behind and provides a positive movement of energy to enable much needed changes to take place.

🪻Scarlet Pimpernel
Scarlet Pimpernel can be used to help when we have hidden energy patterns, maybe originating from someone who is restricting our freedom. These energies can subvert our own energies and so prevent us from moving on.

❤️To celebrate the beginning of spring, we are offering a 10% discount on this essence. ❤️Please use the code Wood26 at checkout. This is valid until 31 March. ❤️The same discount code is also valid for the Bailey Wood Deficient Essence. ❤️For more details, please visit our website at https://www.yorkshirefloweressences.com/collections/five-elements/products/wood-excess

We are very proud to share a link to the podcast interview that Jenny Howarth, founder and director of Yorkshire Flower Essences, recently did with Sara Estelle Turner. In this Jenny outlines her journey along the River Wharfe, gathering the energies of the river at various significant points along its length. These were then made into the Verbeia River Essences which enable others to share in the bounty of these ancient energies.

Here is the link to the podcast - do have a listen to this fascinating subject: https://open.spotify.com/episode/13yKTrtKtfM7rfecktdo7T?si=3YyMpatHSg-_L4gr9uNFxQ&fbclid=IwY2xjawQK3eNleHRuA2FlbQIxMABicmlkETBmdFNDdnE4d2FPNWF3V1d0c3J0YwZhcHBfaWQQMjIyMDM5MTc4ODIwMDg5MgABHn4iRIcwJzS6Ny-VMYjbpZmSyK0mU9zvF2MHvz-i77kd4sVODeAZl101Z9cb_aem_Zbk0ZSR2goo8nZX80NBhcA&nd=1&dlsi=6e3c32509b36468f

We are very happy to offer a 10% discount on the complete set of River Essences or on any of the individual ones. Please use the discount code River at checkout. This will be valid until 3 March. https://www.yorkshirefloweressences.com/collections/verbeia-essences/products/verbeia-river-set or use this link to see the individual ones: https://www.yorkshirefloweressences.com/collections/verbeia-essences

Here is a brief introduction from Jenny:

"I felt honoured to be asked to record the podcast as part of Sara Estelle’s 'Rise, Healer, Rise' podcast series, available on Spotify. The River Wharfe has been a part of my life in Ilkley for almost 50 years, and it felt a natural calling to me to follow the path of the Wharfe, making essences at key points and offer her energies to all through a series of essences, the Verbeia River Essences.
Life faces crises, and yet we can be supported through these demanding times by the River series of essences. They support from birth of life or of projects, through uncertainties, then through easier times and eventually to breathing peacefully, looking all around us at the global waterway of life.
The essences may be used individually or as the series as we move through what may be demanding flows and undercurrents until we arrive at that clear space, breathing deeply. Then there may be more projects. New life may be starting.
The podcast also invites others to take up the challenge of co-creating a similar series of essences along the courses of other rivers. Then these various essences could magically be brought together. If this intrigues or calls, then please do contact me. We can work together and co-create the essences of nature’s world-wide waterways".
