DIY Herbal Chest/Breast Massage Oil

Sweet Violet

Breast Massage is the utmost importance for everyone- for all genders- especially folks with large breast tissue as we have much more tissue to work with! Breast massage is a wonderful lymph supporter for the removal of wastes, circulation, elasticity of the tissue & even helps create firmer tissue with daily practice- for real:)
No matter your gender there’s a whole heck of a lot of lymph in the breast and chest area- it needs some attention! And did you know lymph does not have it’s own pumping mechanism or peristalsis to help it move fluid? Nope. So the more hydrated we stay, the more we move our bodies AND the more we massage- the more our lymphatic system thrives!

When Anxiety & Uncertainty Is High…

We Need Support & The Plants Can Help!

Before Anything Else- when icky feelings set in, don’t fight them, let them flow & BREATHE. Taking some long slow inhales & exhales- especially longer exhales to help us feel grounded and let those feelings move through us in their own time & their own way. I love ESSENTIAL OILS to utilize for enhancing breath & connecting breath with mantra for calm. Here are some DIY ideas below:

Post Vaccine Support

Vaccines are a heated topic and I’m not hear to tell you you should or shouldn’t get the Covid-19 vaccine. That’s your choice.

HOWEVER if you menstruate and decided to get the vaccine- you may have noticed your next cycle after receiving the vaccine was a little or A LOT out of whack. 

Like anything we take into our bodies, (food, air, water, pharmaceuticals, body care products, makeup…) it must be processed by our eliminative organs- especially our livers. Hormones are also processed through our liver and when we are bleeding during our cycles we have a lot more to process… add a vaccine that’s a cocktail of LOTS of components and BOOM – inflammatory response-our body is overloaded- hence a sluggish liver- hence a less than normal bleeding cycle.

Change Can’t Happen If You Won’t.

Life can be incredibly overwhelming. The amazing stuff, the challenging stuff & the downright debilitating stuff.

It’s very easy to fall into holding patterns & cycles that serve us for a period of time. And it’s just as easy to stay in those patterns way past their point of helpfulness.

The thing is, humans have the tendency of not trusting themselves, of not listening, of just going through the motions of life as they best they can without ever really stopping and tuning into their TRUTH.

1. Drink water. 1/2 Your healthy body weight in ounces. Yes, I know. It seems so simple, and it is! But our bodies are about 60-70% water so it is SO VERY VITAL to our health and well being.

7 Things To Create More Peace, Ease & Health In Your Autumn

1.Check In With Your Hydration & Not Just Water.

Are you drinking 1/2 your healthy body weight of pure filtered water in ounces each day? Are you loading up on your healthy fats like avocado, nuts, seeds, nut butters, oils (unrefined coconut, olive, etc), wild salmon, cod, sardines, spirulina & supplementing with Omega 3?  Hydration of water & fats is sooooo important especially when we’re moving into Autumn or Vata Season.  Our environment becomes cooler & drier as the season presses toward Winter, and so do we. Staying lubricated is a must for getting ahead of cold and flu season with a strong immune system.
