Spirit of Makasutu Essences

the 40 flower and environmental essences were born in the sacred forest of makasutu in gambia (west africa); since their creation, additional essences have been added from jamaica, florida and the new forest in the united kingdom. the essences are gentle, but powerful -- unlike the traditional method of cutting flowers from plants to make essences, no cutting, bending or other manipulation of the flower or plant is employed to make the essences (it was a tip i received from the second essence i made - a prickly pear bush!). as the essences are preserved with non-alcoholic red shiso, they can be used by people, animals and even plants without problem (i've even been told the taste is a bit more-ish) and people who do not wish to have alcohol can use safely.
