About
For when we’re feeling flat, weighed down or stuck in the “I’ll start tomorrow” loop - perhaps when the to-do list has piled up, a setback has knocked our confidence, or the days have started to blur into one another.
This blend helps to lift the heaviness, ease overwhelm and bring us back into the present moment, so we can feel more motivated, steady and ready to take the next step.
A really beautiful remedy when starting a big new project and you don't know where to begin, getting back into routine after a difficult stretch, or when you know what needs doing but can’t find the energy to begin.
It can be helpful during busy or darker seasons, when the days feel long and the motivation feels short.

Flowers Explained
Flowers Explained
Hornbeam: For the “Monday morning in the mind” feeling, when we know what needs doing but can’t find the energy to begin. Hornbeam lifts mental and physical weariness and helps us meet the day with fresh vitality, so that action feels possible again.
Elm: When responsibilities pile up and we feel stretched past what we can carry, Elm steadies the overwhelm. It restores perspective and confidence in our capability, helping us figure out what needs doing first and in tackling one thing at a time.
Gentian: brings faith and perseverance, encouraging us to keep going and trust that the way forward will open up.
Clematis: When the mind drifts into daydreams, Clematis brings us gently back into the body and the present moment. It grounds our ideas in action and helps us feel fully here, in the day we’re actually living.
Together, these essences lift weariness, ease overwhelm and restore trust in ourselves, helping us come back to the present and meet each day with steadiness and motivation.
How to Use
Take 4 drops, 4 times a day, placed directly under the tongue or added to water.
Consistency is key - gentle shifts build gradually over time.
When to Use
Carpe Diem is a gentle daily blend for when we feel weary, overwhelmed or stuck in “someday” - and want to meet the day with more energy, steadiness and trust.
Use it when feeling:
- Tired or heavy at the thought of the day ahead
- Like you know what needs doing but can’t find the energy to begin
- Overwhelmed by a growing to-do list

- Stuck in the “I’ll start tomorrow” loop
- Distracted, daydreamy or like the days are blurring into one another
- Doubtful that things will come together
- Ready to get back into routine or start something new
It can be especially helpful during the darker months, when starting a new chapter, or when we’re gently rebuilding motivation and faith in ourselves after a difficult stretch.

FAQ's
- How often should I take it?
4 drops, 4 times a day, but this is the minimum dosage. You can also take additional drops if you notice any moments you want to be brought back to centre.
- Can I take it before bed?
Absolutely. Many people find it helps their mind unwind and prepares the nervous system for rest.
- Can I combine it with other flower remedies?
It’s best taken on its own as your main daily remedy (the only exception would be SOS Formula, which you can take alongside any other remedy whenever it's needed).
- Is it safe to take with medications or herbs?
Yes. Flower essences are energetic preparations with no plant material, so they do not interact with medications or herbs.
- Brandy or glycerine?
Both are equally effective. Brandy is the traditional base; glycerine is alcohol-free and slightly sweeter option.
Glycerine is most popular with pregnant women, children and those who would prefer to limit all alcohol from their lives.
