Some Wisdom for your lungs…

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.

Tis The Season

by SomahDevi | Dec 10, 2021 | Knowledge, Oil of the Month

T’is the season… WHAT SEASON?

The month of December is traditionally a very diverse season. For some it is a season of hibernation. For many it’s a time to connect with family and friends. For MOST it becomes a time of stress. Often the stress is brought on by doing things we don’t feel a connection to do.

OH WHAT TO DO?!

Sprinkle some Holiday Pine Cone or Wisdom into the air…

Yes seriously…

When I created Wisdom, it was for a gorgeous mountain spa in Manitou Springs, Colorado. They wanted a scent that reflected the rocky mountains, while being soothing. Balsam Fir of course was the base; then I decided a high elevation Lavender would go along great and to top it… Laurel nobilis would tie it together with a soft sweetness. Each of these oils on their own have distinct personalities. And together? Like an orchestra, a complete new experience! I took one sniff and named it Wisdom! Immediately I felt a strong intuition, like the energy of a very old tree. Wise! I love to smell it out of the bottle, sprinkle it in my car or diffuse it near my artificial holiday tree as though the tree is exuding the amazing scent. Sore muscles? Add 1-2 drops to a silver dollar size amount of Jojoba or Olive oil and massage it in. As an analgesic, the relief is felt immediately. Need to ground into quick wisdom?

Be sure to check out this blend while it’s on sale..

Get a bigger one.. You’ll use it all year ‘round.

Do you need to ‘lighten up’?!

Holiday Pine Cone ~ It’s like a cheery giggle in a bottle.

Remember making decorated pine cones? That was my inspiration! In fact, a great use (or gift!!) for this blend is to dribble drops over a few pine cones and set them in a room for decoration and a passive infusion of Balsam Fir, Cinnamon and Wintergreen! Did you know Wintergreen has many similar components to Aspirin? Cinnamon is a circulation stimulator. So again, not just in the diffuser but add a drop to a carrier oil and massage into achy muscles and feel the smile twinkle back into your eyes, feeling the magic of this season.

No need to stress. Use the mystery of aroma to bring back that child like excitement every time you open a bottle.

Happy Holidays!

A day of Gratitude…

by SomahDevi | Nov 25, 2021 | Education, Essential Oils 101, Knowledge, Oil of the Month

NOVEMBER 25th

A day of Gratitude…

In my world.. It ALL begins here. A grateful heart…

For the amazing journey of humanity and ALL of it’s rawness. The ‘good, bad, exciting and confusing..’

When I can settle my heart into the Art of NOT Knowing.. I seem to actually calm down the “over busy” mind.

HOW THE HECK does one ‘settle’ the heart in a world with such opposition?
You ready for it?? Ahh, yes.. INHALE an Essential oil. Choose Grapefruit (any citrus oil) or Bergamot and deeply breathe in. Hold your breath and exhale. Do that 4 more times. Maybe Rose oil is ‘your jam’ or something earthy like Patchouli or Vetiver?

Get into a state of consciousness that feels like it brings kindness into your eyes. From THAT state of awareness choose to look at your life. Realize how it’s always working out for you. Life is ALLways whispering through intuition and synchronicity. Essential oils work with the limbic system and this gives us a chance to interrupt patterns that we desire to change, while introducing habits we’d like to form. ALL WITH SMELL & SCENT. I am thankFULL for that wisdom. Wanna learn more? Register for this 21 day dive into establishing a change of habits HERE.

Our DIY packages give you the tools and wisdom to customize your blends. This will give you confidence in the future to experiment with new options.

Our “CLASSIC” oils will be perfect to get started.

The “ALCHEMY” collection is for the enthusiast that’s ready to simply dive in.

I’m immensely grateful for the opportunity to supply arguably truly THE BEST Essential oils on the planet. Yes, the entire globe.

What DO you have?

by SomahDevi | Nov 11, 2021 | Education, Knowledge, Oil of the Month, Shop Specials

When I was in India in 2013, in Ayurveda school (Ayurveda means, ‘the Science of Life’) studying natural remedies for acute and chronic health problems, we learned how to modify a recipe. As any talented chef will tell you, there are countless ways to personalize a common dish. And just because flour and sugar are both white, this does not mean they can be interchanged, right?

I am L O V I N G the new DIY (do it yourself) kits because even I, am making combinations I’ve never used because I had ‘other oils’ at my disposal and overlooked some EVERYDAY CLASSICS!

If you are on the fence about these two collections, I give you HONEST reassurance. The recipes are so simple and you have tools for measuring AND opening bottles. I am a geek for learning and I absolutely desire this to be fun and educational AND OF COURSE healing for your immune system and mental wealth.

I am offering a FREE 5 mL Cedar, atlas with the ‘Classic EsScentials’ and a FREE 5 mL Jasmine grandiflorum with the Alchemy’.

THIS WILL NOT BE POSTED OR ADVERTISED any place else and you must use the coupon at checkout after adding the correlating oil(s) to your cart.
