Chamomile & Rose Herbal Body Oil
Chamomile & Rose Herbal Body Oil
4 fl oz
This gentle herbal infused body oil encapsulates the nurturing and soothing qualities of the flower world, and supports deep relaxation and recovery within the musculoskeletal and nervous systems.
Many people misunderstand how to make herbal oils, making them in ways that result in lackluster oil that is not as potent as it could be. My oils are quite unlike the commercial body care products widely available in grocery stores, which are often made with harmful chemicals and preservatives by machines. The experience and skill I've developed while crafting these oils over time has resulted in a refined technique and process that takes several days of careful attention to craft. No shortcuts are used in crafting these oils. The care and intention I place into these oils are part of what gets infused into them, along with the beneficial properties of medicinal herbs. Crafting these oils is truly a meditative act for me, and I am honored to share them with you.

Supportive Qualities of this Blend
An Ally for Deep Relaxation
Chamomile and rose are both known for their affinities for soothing the nervous system, which plays a key role in whole body health. Just like a cup of chamomile tea or smelling roses can evoke a sense of calm to wash over the body, applying oil infused with these flowers saturates wound up muscles and nerves with an air of calm and ease. Be generous with this oil and apply it often to areas of tension for deep relief.
Sleep Support
Chamomile has long been used as a sleep aid. Both chamomile and rose are soothing aromatics, which redirects one’s focus from constant thinking onto body rest, especially when in a state of restlessness. Both herbs are gentle enough to be used for people of all ages, including the tender stages of baby and elder life.
Skin Health
Chamomile is a cooling herb which can be helpful in calming hot, red and flared up skin states such as eczema and acne. Rose also is an astringent plant whose tonifying effects for the skin have been called upon throughout the centuries by people all over the world. Sunflower oil is a relatively light oil which complements the soothing effects of chamomile and rose, and offers an ideal base for applying to tender skin, including the face.
Sexual Health
Flowers express their profound beauty in a way that is evocative of sexuality. Both chamomile and rose flowers are gentle enough to use as a lubricant for the tender tissue of the vulva, penis and testes as well as other sensitive skin across the body such as the nipples and lips, all of which benefit from lubrication in order to function well. Any dryness, flaking or cracking around these areas can be soothed and nurtured by this oil.

I really enjoy picking up Elizabeth's body oils because I like knowing that I'm "treating myself" with a product that was made with care and locally sourced. I feel like I am rubbing Elizabeth's passion for herbs and natural remedies into my own skin! And it smells so good :)
