ABOUT FIRST LIGHT

made from New Zealand's ancient and native flora. The essences are completely
natural preparations made from native flowers, plants, ferns and trees.
Flower essences are created when flowers or plants release their essential energies or vibrational blue print into water. This flower essence is then naturally potentised to amplify its efficacy. Flower essences work gently to restore balance and harmony in the being.
Franchelle Ofsoské-Wyber and Anthony Wyber are the co-creators of First Light Flower Essences of New Zealand® - New Zealand's first range of native flower essences.
