It just so happens that nearly every woman in my life is walking alongside me through perimenopause right now. One of the big complaints women during this season is yoni dryness. When I heard a friend of mine was going through this, I leapt into action. Of course one of the treatment options is HRT but that isn't the path everyone is ready to explore. It's such a personal decision. I started making this yoni oil right away and was actually moved to tears when I heard her relief was instantaneous. I think we both cried. Few things matter to me more than supporting other women during hardship I was so blessed to be able to help. This oil is infused with all the yoni-loving herbs that have been using in yoni-steams across all traditions for ages. I used organic jojoba, sweet almond and rose hip oils. I didn't add any essential oils because its such a delicate area and the infused herbs offered such a pleasant scent already. I believe this oil would also be incredibly beneficial after giving birth and healing from any vaginal injury. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWhile this oil was made with the yoni in mind, I have been using it as a face oil and absolutely love the decadent yet light feel of the oils on my skin.

If you're like me, that would be a very big ask, not to mention an expensive one.

He was simply covered with painful sores all over his body. I won't get into details, but it was horrific to witness my sweet daddy suffer. Hospice was called in and they were trying to come up with comfort measures for him, but topical creams hadn't put a dent in it. So I looked at my shelves of mason jars filled with herbs and I infused my oils and butters with skin healing and soothing herbs to make him a body butter with a high caster oil ratio. I made about ten jars. The hospice nurse and I slathered him from head to toe in it daily, both of us intent on exploring every possible solution to his discomfort. When my dad finally passed away about three weeks later, all of his sores were healed. He died without one wound. Was it this body butter? Or was it the love I held for him while making it? Was it my application of it with comforting words and a gentle touch? Was it all of it mashed together into something we could call a miracle? I don't know. I really don't.

They are focused on sustainable and ethical harvesting while replenishing the trees seasonally to serve future generations. I have a very close relationship with frankincense as it is a sacred medicine with a high frequency that I use as an energy clearing and anchoring each day like a seal on my light so I am protected from the density in our world. There's a reason it is used to clear spaces for ceremony and was gifted to baby Jesus in the bible. It's energy is clearing, blessing, and when I use this body butter each morning, I feel it is honoring the temple of my body with an intention.
