Description
Herbal Body Oiling is one of the most luxurious self-care practices I know. Set aside some time every day to massage this soothing medicine into your body, and you will find that it calms your nervous system, relaxes your muscles, nourishes your skin and leaves you feeling better, more balanced and ever supported in this world.
These plants have been infused in the most delicate California grown Organic Olive Oil for months. The Olive Oil is grown + pressed in California, the plants are carefully wildcrafted in the Southwest. I work with the most local resources possible, this oil is so fine.
STORIES OF THESE SIMPLE OILS:
GOLDEN ARNICA OIL – Arnica is well know for its ability to soothe achey bodies. After a long day working, playing, climbing up that mountain, chasing children, digging up garden beds, running a marathon, or just cleaning your kitchen (ha!) you may find this to be your perfect ally. This oil is made with Arnica Cordifolia, “Heart Leafed Arnica” our very own Arnica found here in the Rocky Mountain Southwest. A few nights ago, I had terrific anxiety after breaking up a scary dog fight. I poured a glug of this oil into a hot bath, got in and emerged from that tub feeling like a happy potato. I canceled the rest of my plans that day and layed around feeling so content, and so deeply relaxed. This medicine is POWERFUL.
DANDY FLOWER OIL – Dandelions are some of the first plants to emerge after a long cold winter with their bright shining faces smiling towards the sun. The flowers happen to be a fantastic remedy for the skin, which is no surprise considering how well the Earth provides for us, Summer being such a buggy season. I tend to get some plant dermatitis (a temporary rash) when running through the bush, harvesting plants etc, and find this Dandy Flower Oil to tame the itch and ease inflammation on my sensitive skin so wonderfully. Whats more about this oil, however, is the powerful effect it can have on the mood. The scent is mellow but happy, earthy and sweet. Dandelion is a kin to sunlight manifest through the soil in Flower form. It is brightly spirited and has been known to brighten sullen spirits too.
CHAPARRAL OIL – What can I say about the vast spaces of desert lands covered in this majestic bush, Chaparral. By some magic it smells likes fresh desert rain, and to me, this prolific plant invokes an inner vastness of space within, much like standing alone in the desert. When you’re feeling contracted and burdened with too much weight, Chaparral can help open up space and let your gaze be far. The bush itself has a miraculous ability to protect itself from a nearly constant onslaught of sun, baking in the fields for days on end….and it so happens that it also works as a soothing after sun medicine on our human skin. It can be worked with to treat many conditions of the skin, bites, burns, wounds. Chaparral is a healer of the skin. Some may even call it a guardian plant.

We all have a different experiences with plants, as each of us embodies our own unique inner alchemy. I invite you to grow in intimacy with the plants offered in this collection by taking careful notice your own experience when working with them, and if you can, by spending time with the plants yourself. The stories above are my own findings, always remember to find your own.
