THE LATEST IN REJUVENATING SKIN~
N A T U R A L L Y

Everything seems to be coming up ROSES… And Almonds!

High levels of vitamin A are contained in the two featured items this month. Vitamin A is clinically shown to increase skin-cell turnover and improve Vitamin C absorption which evens skin tone. Both Almond oil and Rose otto are velvety to the skin, leaving a softening on facial lines… Rose has powers as a romantic aphrodisiac and sexual rejuvenator.

The most famous Rose is the pink-red Damascus rose. So legendary for its Bulgarian valley aroma. It’s cultivated near the white rose; it’s said the two growing side by side strengthens their relationship to colder harsh weather and disease. An aphrodisiac is something that is calming and stimulating at the same time. These two are smoooooothe talkers!

Both aging and acne can lead to hyperpigmentation of the skin; adding both Almond oil and Rose otto to your face routine will be a game changer with these aromatic treasures

Often Rose absolute and Rose otto are confused: SIMPLY PUT?!

Rose absolute is solvent extracted

Rose otto is steam distilled

HUGE difference in price to distill. Steam distilling can damage the soft petals more easily, costing plant material, if not handled perfectly. Solvent distillation is faster and more economical for perfumes. All skin care specialists agree that a steam distillation is the preferred method for daily facial support. No perfumery would ‘waste’ their money on a steam distillation. Absolute all the way. The Rose otto will have a slightly more powdery scent than the Rose absolute. Wonderful with other face nectar oils!

Almond oil can be an allergen! Be sure it’s safe for you and those you apply it to. If it’s agreeable… it’s ONE OF THE BEST! Super as a base to eye care creams or amazing as an eye makeup remover. Gliding it across your body or a loved one is a special treat with its soft sweet qualities.

Here are two quick easy skin care ideas:

Makeup remover in a blink!

½ oz Almond oil

3 drops Rose, otto

15 mL bottle

Warm rose otto in palm/pocket, add drops to Almond oil in bottle and swirl. Add 1-2 drop to finger tips and smear through eye make up. Rinse completely with warm water.

EZ Face moisturizer

1 oz Almond oil

6-8 drops Rose otto

30 mL bottle

Warm rose otto in palm/pocket, add drops to Almond oil in bottle and swirl. Apply 7+ drops to palm and smear across face, including the gentle eye area and neck/decolitate.

ENJOY THE DECADENCE… Stock up on the sweet scent of Rose for Valentine’s Day!

Peace + love!

WHY INDIA?

May 27th 2022 Blog

I am in India until the middle of July… WHY OH WHY? Do I go there for my education? Why India? What about health & food issues, poverty and overpopulation? And in the summer when it’s gorgeous in Colorado? #wth

In my opinion, you can find chaos ANYwhere! New York City, Guadalajara México, Thailand, and more… There is an organization to the chaotic lifestyle of India. I generally spend my time in the sleepy northern part of Rishikesh where it’s known to be a Yogi town. It’s alcohol and meat free. Travelers come from all over the world on an inner pilgrimage to soul shine and find a deeper meaning to life. It’s quite a beautiful energy in a person, as they unwind social dogma.

The Peppermint and ‘Himalayan’ Geranium, both featured this month, come from India. The ancient practices and heirloom seeds cannot be matched. There is a unique pride in work, that I find unmatched. India even has it’s own time zone. Did you know that? It’s 11.5 hours ahead during daylight savings and 12.5 hours ahead on standard time, from Colorado. Exactly ½ way around the globe. Yup, they are off of everyone in the world by 30 minutes. So strange! And so wonderful!

We have access to more and more education and in many ways we are returning back to medicine that grows from the earth and science that can be felt from the stars. Vedic astrology was always the science kings relied upon, it’s evolved in so many ways but it’s inception was also in India. It’s this cosmic science I am studying in India this time. I’ll be able to offer guidance on scientific aspects of who you are and the timing of things in your life. It’s quite fascinating. Book a discovery call and let me introduce you to yourSELF in a way you’ve always wanted to be seen.. The truth of who you are, not the stories of what’s evolved. If you cannot find an opening in my calendar, message me personally and I’ll get you set up!

India is the motherland of wisdom in my opinion..

peace + love!

Sweet as Almonds!!

April 28 2022 BLOG

Having fun is an essential part of life don’t you think? Can you have ‘fun’ doing something ‘dull’ …and be ‘irritated’ when doing an activity that brings ‘joy’? Why is this? I have a saying, “It doesn’t matter what you’re doing, it’s who you are with”. Our state of consciousness is always more powerful than our state of affairs. How can we change our state of mind/consciousness?

I HAVE AN OIL FOR THAT!! read on..

Almond Oil is a WONDER carrier oil. It’s a fabulous ‘fatty’ oil that extends the absorption rate of essential oils or simply acts as its own moisturizer. It has a softly sweet scent and feels luxurious on the skin.

Did you know that the almond is found inside the fruits of the almond tree? These pretty fruits look so similar to peaches. Almonds are high in vitamins A & E and carry powerful omega 3 fatty acids, minerals including potassium, phosphorus and zinc. Cold pressing the oil properly keeps these nutrients active.

Almond oil is used often in Ayurveda because its ‘doshic balance’ is calming. Using Almond oil for a baby’s foot massage will certainly ease the mood and belly. Even ‘big babies’ over the age of 20! And you don’t need to add any Essential oils at all. But we understand that you wanna!

Adding oils like Frankincense, carterii or this month’s featured Majmua Udd attar will enhance the bouquet and the medicinal benefits. Using almond oil in a salt scrub is heavenly; we are offering a DIY class in May that will include a lot of information. Can’t make it but want to Zoom in? Reply to this email and we’ll add you to our list.

Gorgeous Body Oil

1 oz. Almond oil

6 drops Majmua Udd attar

6-8 drops Mandarin (red is brighter in aroma) ~Frankincense would add more of an earthy scent.

Use liberally after a shower/bath on skin
Deep scalp treatment. Massage in ½ oz covering ends, leave on overnight; ADD SHAMPOO TO DRY/OILY HAIR first and create paste, then add water and rinse out oil. May shampoo twice (lightly, second time)
Lightly add oil to dry hair ends
Use lightly to skin over pulse points and apply additional UNscented oil/creme to seal in soft scent

Let me know how you used the oils this month! We love hearing from you.

Some Wisdom for your lungs…

by SomahDevi | Dec 28, 2021 | Education, Knowledge, News, Oil of the Month

Some Wisdom for your lungs…

What do Conifer trees, winter solstice (in the N. Hemisphere), Christmas trees and health all have in common? And why do I specify N. Hemisphere?

One word: L U N G S

Lung power is important, especially in the colder temperatures. We can build up phlegm and feel sluggish, like hibernating for weeks. Our lungs can easily build up fluid if proper health practices aren’t in place. Pneumonia, Bronchitis, COVID-19 and all varieties are affected greatly by the respiratory system. Do steams with these treasures of nature and dissolve viral issues. I have a friend in India that has had 100% success in KILLING the COVID virus rapidly with simple ‘towel over the head’ steams. Amazing!

There is a saying in yoga, “trees that have deep roots and flexible limbs survive hurricanes”. Think of the deep roots to trees such as, Firs, Cedarwoods, Spruces, Pines, Hemlock.

FYI~ Balsam Fir is not a ‘true’ Balsam. A Balsam is technically an oil extracted from a resin that contains benzoic or cinnamic acid. Officially Conifers are trees whose seeds are produced in woody cones with needle-like leaves and resinous wood

There are several different plant families you’ll find in the group of Conifers, as listed above. The Conifer trees generally offer fresh-herbaceous-coniferous aromatic aromas. Their notes are uplifting, stimulating and invigorating. They can enhance our energy, stimulate circulation, improve motivation and even stamina. They are mentally refreshing and emotionally restorative. See why they are used so heavily November – February? They help us get moving and infuse the spirit of ‘light’ in us, when things can feel dark.

The high ‘monoterpene’ components encourage a movement of energy in the body, which supports opening up the lungs and even the sinuses, which is highly supportive to overall vitality in the mind, body and spirit. This also means they can expire faster. Keep them capped tightly, in a cool and dark place. NEVER IN THE SUNLIGHT.

So diffuse those holiday blends when it’s cold! Add 1-2 drops per Tablespoon of carrier (like Jojoba, Sesame or Olive.. NOT coconut) and massage onto achy tired muscles. Avoid the face but scalp application lightly is divine. Stay in the hairline. Want to create a chest rub? Add 1-2 drops into 15 mL of carrier and add 1 drop of Eucalyptus. Ahhhhhh breathing will feel unrestricted and emotions will balance.

All of our holiday blends have Conifer oils, to enhance your physical and emotional wealth during the busiest time of the year, in the ‘modern’ time.
