Did you know that Cloves were as valuable as gold?

In traditional Indian and Chinese medicines, cloves are used as warming and stimulating agents and for anti-microbial applications, while in Western herbalism they have been used to treat viruses, bacteria, and infections. Clove oil has long been used as a topical analgesic in dental care, as well as a means of managing muscle aches and pains. It is further reputed to help manage digestive upset, to help support a healthy respiratory system, and to have a beneficial impact on healing bruises, cuts, and abrasions.

Need to destress, reduce anxiety, uplift your mood or boost your energy?

Here’s the solution for you!

Add a few drops each of Lemon, Peppermint & Rosemary to your favorite carrier oil, rub it in acupressure point P6 for 2 minutes and watch the synergy of this uplifting and invigorating scent adjust your mood.

Acupressure point P6 is located on the inner forearm 3 finger widths below the wrist. By rubbing this point in a circular motion for 2 minutes you can help calm the mind and reduce anxiety.

With or without an essential oil, use of this acupressure point is good to keep in your destress tool box! 💫

DM us for your stress relief synergy roller!

Did you know?

The emotional center of the brain only responds to the sense of smell when releasing stored trauma and emotion.

Researchers at NYU proved the amygdala gland (the gland in the limbic system of the brain that stores and releases trauma in the body) does not respond to sight, sound, or touch. But only released emotional trauma through the sense of smell! ~ Carolyn Mein

Another great vibrational oil and one of my go to’s is Clary Sage. Prior to temporarily closing Okema Natural, I used this oil in the Manage my Monthly and F**k the Blues rollers, and also a few skin care products for its balancing properties. Since the death of my husband in 2020, I’ve been using and diffusing this oil to assist me with clarity, depression and disconnection. Clary Sage has a spicy scent and assists with calming the mind which I definitely needed. Along with the other great benefits listed below. Clary Sage should be an oil you have in your tool box.

~ Clary Sage is known as the oil of vision and the ordinal “clear eye” oil for eye care.

~ Clary Sage assists with symptoms associated with premenstrual syndrome, menopause and hormone health.

~ Clary Sage is said to assist with calming labor pains during childbirth.

~ Clary Sage is an antispasmodic and is great for support when dealing with asthma.

One of my favorite and go to essential oils when I’m feeling low is Ylang Ylang. Initially when I smelled this oil I didn’t like it, but when I applied it to my body and diffused it, I fell in love. It just instantly lifted my whole mood, and is my go to oil when I need a vibrational boost.

The frequency of this oil vibrates with our astral body (emotional body) and is especially helpful in healing at this level.

~ Ylang Ylang is known as the Queen of Flowers, and is one of the most potent aromatics for emotional release.

~ Ylang Ylang through inhalation helps to connect to our heart and heal emotional traumas. It allows emotional healing to flow naturally, nourishing the heart in the process.

~ Ylang Ylang helps release emotions such as anger and shock associated with grief.

~Ylang Ylang is the oil of the inner child and helps connect us to a source of joy that comes from within.

~ Ylang Ylang’s sweet, soft, flowery fragrance can also evoke feelings of romance and passion.
