Some oils soothe the body. Ours touch the soul.

Each YGEIA ritual oil carries its own emotional signature, a plant-spirit ally whispering directly to the heart. 

When used with intention, they can become anchors for your emotional wellbeing - steady companions through life’s ebbs and flows.

 

Rose - The Embrace of the Heart

Blue Lotus - The Gateway to Stillness

Blue Lotus is the flower of dreamers and mystics.

Emotional gifts: Calm, inner peace, heightened intuition, spiritual openness.

Myrrh - The Keeper of Sacred Boundaries

How to Work with Them Emotionally

When oils are this pure, you can enter into a deeper intimacy with them - letting them touch you from the inside out. 

Create a moment that feels sacred, even if it’s just a breath between tasks.

• On the tongue - Place a single drop directly on your tongue. Let it spread across your palate, breathing in the aroma as it rises from within. Feel how the plant’s essence moves through your body, informing every cell of its sacred signature.
• In tea or cacao - Add one drop to a cup of warm herbal tea or ceremonial cacao. Sip slowly, feeling the union of taste and scent, the oil spirit weaving itself into collaboration with the plant you are ingesting.
  
• In the palms - Place a drop in your palms, rub them together gently, then cup your face and breathe deeply. Close your eyes and let the scent draw you into the present moment.
  
• On pulse points - Anoint your wrists, heart center, or temples before meditation, prayer, or rest, letting the aroma become an anchor for your intention.
  
• In the bath - Add a drop or two to warm bathwater and swirl with your hand before entering. Let the steam carry the scent to your skin, nose and lungs.
  
• On your pillow - Before sleep, place a drop on your pillow so the scent cradles you through the night, carrying its medicine into your dreams.
• With breathwork - Place a drop on your tongue, under your nose or on the wrists before a breathwork session. Inhale slowly and deeply, letting the scent become the bridge between body, breath, and spirit.
  
• In sacred food - Stir a drop into raw honey, nut milk, or a smoothie as a daily blessing, letting the plant’s energy infuse your nourishment with intention.
