I've smelled a few blue tansy oils in local health stores before and never liked the scent, they were always so off-putting to me. Then this one arrived from a small organic farmer in Morocco, and I was amazed at how beautiful it was! Especially when combined with Jasmine Sambac, Rose de Mai & White Lotus some of the most heavenly oils on Earth! Seriously so in love with this serum

In TCM there is an emphasis on consuming all 5 flavors to nourish each organ system. Bitter is the counterpart of sweet. In fact, when you start eating more bitter compounds, sweet foods begin to taste sweeter. Sweet vegetables begin to satisfy the sweet flavor on the tongue without the need for refined sugars especially when the other flavors are balanced. The bitter flavor is so important for digestion because it stimulates the stomach, liver and pancreas to start secreti...ng their juices & enzymes to break down food. Many people supplement with digestive enzymes, however most can benefit by supporting their body's own natural production of enzymes using bitter herbs. If you experience digestive discomfort, bloating, cramping or feel heavy after meals, try using bitters 15 minutes before a meal and see how it helps your digestion! Many herbalists believe some one of the major causes of digestive problems today are due to the lack of the bitter flavor in our diet. We tend to only want sweet & salty! I love this formula because it's alcohol free & works amazingly!

Did you know you can relieve a UTI with herbs? A combination of antibacterial and antimicrobial herbs that go straight to the urinary tract to fight off infections. Plus marshmallow root to sooth irritated tissues. Marshmallow is a great cooling & moistening herb that relieves dry & burning sensations.... If you experience frequent infections, you likely need to make some dietary changes like removing all bread, gluten, dairy, corn, soy, canola oil & junk food. I use to get them all the time and I know how painful and irritating they can be. Removing bread, eggs and dairy from my diet was what finally stopped it from coming back. These foods feed bacteria which is why they're problematic. Link is in bio!

There is no greater expression of self-love than lovingly anointing ourselves from head to toe with a herbal infused oilthis practice is called Abyanga. The Sanskrit word Sneha can be translated as both oil and love. It is believed that the effects of Abhyanga are similar to those received when one is saturated with love. Like the experience of being loved, Abhyanga can give a deep feeling of stability and warmth. A daily self massage practice restores the balance of the... nervous system and enhances well-being and longevity. Regular Abyanga is especially grounding and relaxing for Vata dosha imbalances, but everyone can benefit from this practice.

Blue Lotus is a scared flower that has an intriguing history of ceremonial and ritual use by many different cultures including Greeks, Tibetans and Egyptians. Many Egyptians believe that when consuming blue lotus, it invokes the Gods into ceremony which is why It's considered the flower of enlightenment. It is said that blue lotus ensures entrance into the heavens when ingested. This beautiful flower is often used in ceremonies for the death of a loved one, to encourage the s...oul to enter the light. The plant can have psychoactive effects in super concentrated amounts; however a simple tea or tincture won't have this effect, yet It will still provide feelings of euphoria and relaxation. It is thought to open the crown chakra which makes it a great addition for meditation or lucid dreaming. When taken before bed, it will intensify dreams and promote vivid visualizations. In herbal astrology, it is a herb of the moon meaning that it works on our emotional body and our subconscious mind. It clears out negative emotions and thought patterns and helps us relax into a happy state. It's fragrance is a medium bodied floral scent that is somewhat like amber.

"Ancient people have had deep reverence for the plant kingdom. It is not a superstitious awe, nor a mere sensitivity to a beauty, but a reception of the power that plants bring to us. The force is not received simply through ingesting the plant, but in our total communion with it. The sages of ancient India approached healing and herbs with the same consciousness. Theirs was not a science of experimentation, but a form of direct participation. Experimentations implies distanc...e, a division between observer and observed, subject and object. As a result, it is mediated, measured, translated. In dissecting the corpose, the penetration of the soul is missed. Direct perception, or mediation, is the science of yoga. Yoga allows the essence, the thing-in-itself, to disclose itself. When this happens, a full revelation of material and spiritual potential occurs. Dr. Vasant Lad See more

Reasons why you might think herbs don't work for you 1. You're taking the herb incorrectly. Herbs need to be taken in a certain dose and often for an extended period of time to change the chemistry in your body. Make sure you are following the recommended dose and taking your herbal medicine consistently. 2. You haven't developed a practice of inward awareness. If you aren't aware of the subtleties of your body, you won't notice when herbs are making shifts. When taking herb...al medicine, you should become aware of your physcial body. Notice your mood, energy, mental clarity, what kind of thoughts you're thinking, etc. Practicing yoga or guided meditation can help you strengthen your self awareness. 3. Your gut health is out of balance. If you have low HCL, parasites, candida or sibo, absorption of the herbs will be affected. See a holistic nutritionist if you need help cleaning up your gut health. 4. You aren't taking the right herb for your body. There are very specific herbs for every ailment, and if you take a herb like nettle, for example, to kill a cold, you won't see results because nettle doesn't kill colds. When people ask "do herbs really work?" To me, It sort of sounds like "does food really work?". Of course herbs work. They are nutritious, medicinal allies provided for us in the same way earth provides food for us. If you don't have any herbal allies in your daily regime, I highly recommend adding some in! Herbal medicine provides preventative health protection and should be taken regularly, just as we take food regularly. If you aren't sure which herbs to use, ask a herbalist or chat with me.

To become a true herbalist, therefore, means to become a seer. This means to be sensitive to the being of the herbs, to commune in receptive awareness with the plant-light of the universe. it is to learn to listen when the plant speaks, to speak to the plant as to another human being, and to look upon it as ones teacher.

Dreams can feel random or bizarre, but they often hold significant meaning related to our waking life. The spiritual realm uses our dream state to commuicate with us. People often receive creative inspiration, solutions for problems, healing from past pain, warnings about future issues, messages from deceased loved ones, or comforting peace during sleep. This is not random, but a communication from the divine realm that is watching out for us. Research shows that people who d...on't dream are more likely to suffer from depression and anxiety due to a lack of the healing that takes place in REM. Many spiritual excripts state that the underlying cause of depression is a lack of connection to the divine and the absence of spiritual guidance. If you don't remember your dreams, there are things you can do to awaken this ability. Some amazing herbs to work with are Mugwort, blue Lotus, and rosemary Mugwort and blue Lotus promote dreaming and rosemary helps with dream recall. I also love ashwagandha to help with deep sleep, since we must sleep deeply to access dream state - #herbalmedicine #dreaming #luciddreaming

New blog post on how to restore mineral levels using herbal infusions! https://www.aliciasholistics.com//mineralize-the-body-with

Last week I started thinking about how temporary these bodies are and how maybe i shouldn't be so entirely consumed with taking care of it, since I will be leaving it one day anyway.. I thought "maybe I should loosen up, be less mindful.. It will be fine! I'll live!" And well, needless to say, here I am sitting in bed sick for the first time in FOUR YEARS. I have been so incredibly loving towards my body for the past 4 years that I haven't been sick, up until the moment that... I thought to myself "maybe I should be less loving, take less care of myself". If that's not a loud and clear message that I was WRONG for thinking that maybe I 'shouldn't be so serious about taking care of my body', than I don't know what is I love taking care of myself and I have fun doing it. It's who I am and it's my dharma to teach others how to do it too. So why would I neglect that part of myself? Isn't it funny how the universe communicates to us? Here I am feeling like shit but also feeling totally held in the presence of Spirit, and in complete aw for the sweet gentle whisper to stay on my path

Ive been feeling stagnant lately in my creativity and my work. Being an entrepreneur is challenging, it requires constant work and constant output, and recently I've just had no motivation or inspiration. I just had NO ideas. After a full day of feeling sorry for myself, contemplating, wondering if id ever get out of this drought of feeling unproductive and unsuccessful. I had a dream. I had a clear, vivid download come to me on a project that I could start working on. I h...ad full visuals on what it should look like, what resources I should use, what facts I should highlight, and even what the photos should look like. I woke up amazed and relieved that I finally had an idea. An idea that the universe downloaded into my mind through a dream.. How incredible? How amazing is it that when we ask the Universe/God/Source/Spirit for help it responds? So here I am, sitting in a cafe, having one of the most productive days that Ive had in a while because I asked for help. I literally yelled out into the void. What am I supposed to be doing?!. And, well, now I know. I dont know the entire blueprint of my future, but I know what my next step is. And that is a beautiful thing.
