Choosing a Product

I am new to Sunflower Apothecary. Where should I begin?

Many people begin with a Cream or Oil of Light, choosing the blend whose qualities most closely reflect the support they are seeking. Popular starting points include:

  • Hope for optimism and encouragement
  • Peace for calm and harmony
  • Joy for positivity and wellbeing
  • Clarity for focus and clear thinking
What is the difference between Creams and Oils?

Creams are intended for application to the hands and energy field.

Oils may be added to a bath or applied to unbroken skin for gentle massage.

What is the difference between Gem Remedies and Gem Healers?

Gem Remedies are aligned with the chakra system and are designed to support balance within specific energy centres.

Gem Healers are intended to support particular physical, emotional or energetic challenges such as stress, grief, tiredness or digestive balance.
