Herbal Body Oils 

Herbal oils are deeply restorative and calming to the body and mind. The herbal oils are meant for all over body use and to be used generously to absorb the healing properties of the plants through the skin into the body. 

 

                                   

Whole Plant Oils

Flowers and leaves -- not just the essential oils added, the oil receives the entire energy and healing properties of the plant— not just a few— therefore, creating a more gentle, safer, yet powerful extract.

How to Use Herbal Body Oils 

Herbal body oiling (Abhyanga) is an ancient practice of using whole plant infused oils for self massage to nourish the body into a state of relaxation and health. Oiling the skin allows beneficial properties of plants to seep through skin and access the nervous, lymphatic, musculoskeletal, and immune systems.

A form of "self-massage", body oiling is a wonderful way to commune with plants and gracefully restore your body to a sense of well being.

QUICK BODY OILING 

  • Anoint certain parts of body with 1 or 2 drops of oil directly on area you are honoring - dab on wrists, back of neck, belly button.
  • Gently massage ear lobes with oil.
  • Massage a light coat of oil over the body from head to toe, any time of day.
  • Spot treat areas of body in need of special care with oil.

DEEP BODY OILING 

Take an hour or whole evening for yourself....

  • Add a generous dash to a hot bath or in a foot basin to create a luxurious relaxing soak.
  • Massage a quarter cup of oil onto feet and let soak in - no need to rinse off.
  • Slowly massage oil over body, lingering in places that need it. Be mindful & breathe deeply.
    • TIP: Gently warm oil prior to massage in hot water.
  • Oil scalp to replenish hair shine & scalp health.

    OIL CLEANSING

      • Cleaning the skin with oil is an ancient method to lift away dirt, toxins, and makeup without disrupting the skin's natural oils and pH level. Herbal oils purify, calm, and clear skin without use of soap or harsh cleansers.
        • Dampen cloth with warm water & add oil of choice. Gently rub on face and body.
        • Use as a makeup remover.

     

    Nourishment for Life

    In today's world of stress, distraction, and constant stimulation, herbal body oiling can be a life saver for so many struggling with overwhelm and burn out. Our bodies crave oil --nourishing fats-- to soothe the friction in life and are absolutely essential to good health.

     Every cell in the body is surrounded by a lipid (fat) layer and the nerves in the body are coated in fat. When we are depleted of good quality fats--- we tend to get irritated, overwhelmed, frazzled, and just plain angry more easily, not to mention have dry skin and wrinkles. Good, natural oils help us calm down, relax, and hydrate the skin.

     Oiling the skin allows the beneficial properties of plants to be absorbed through the skin and access the nervous, lymphatic, musculoskeletal, and immune systems.

     When rubbed on the body, the parasympathetic nervous system, the body's rest and digest state, is activated and the body instantly relaxes.

     The lymphatic system requires movement or touch in order to properly flow and is also home to a variety of immune cells. Using herbal oils supports the lymph and strengthens the immune system to clear away toxins and waste.

    I hope you love them!
