Wildflower Oil

“I’m going to give you a handful of wildflowers
so, each petal that falls will remind you
that the earth breathes, and the moon rises.”
― Carolyn Riker, My Dear, Love Hasn’t Forgotten You

In most cultures around the globe, the wildflower symbolizes happiness. Wildflowers provide seeds, nectar, pollen, and leaves as a source of food and life, especially for pollinators that have small home ranges. They also support people, directly and indirectly.

French apothecaries in the 1800s recommended roses for all manner of ailments. Wild rose petals have been used to induced sleep, soothe headaches and calm a painful menstruation. Blossoms were sniffed to improve blood flow, alleviate depression & reduce stress inducing measurable differences in breathing and blood pressure. Violets contain salicylic acid, which helps with oily skin, with a moisturizing capability that works great for dry, sensitive skin. Most wildflowers are naturally anti-inflammatory, providing a calming effect to the skin.

These wildflowers have been harvested in the early morning of the New Moon, when their scent is the most potent, then infused in unrefined organic hemp oil. This infusion has been curing in the dark, now ready to be applied to the skin.

Like wildflowers, this oil is multipurpose; apply to the skin, hair, add to bath water, or worked with spiritually to remind oneself of their inner resilience & natural wild.

Small batch made, limited quantities are available of this seasonal beauty.

“here’s the thing about wildflowers
they take root wherever they are
grow strong through the wind, rain, pain, sunshine, blue skies and starless nights
they dance, even when it seems there is nothing worth dancing for
they bloom”
