however that is not to say that if you take an essence too often you wont necessarily notice it! if you overuse a deeper acting essence or you use too many at one time you might feel that it can feel quite uncomfortable and the emotional and energetic clearing process and sometimes the issues youre working with can seem to be over amplified this simply means that the clearing process is being triggered too quickly so review how often you are taking the essence and how many essences you are taking at one time.
