Supportive Qualities of this Blend
An Ally for Physical + Spiritual Integration
Mugwort and sage are both known for their connections with the spiritual realm, where life exists outside of the mundane. Many aspects of nature are synonymous with this realm such as the new moon, winter, darkness, sex, mynstruation, magic, our ancestors, and the death/rebirth aspect of natural cycles. Applying mugwort and sage oil to the body is a wonderful way to tend to both a physical and spiritual connection to the self, and integrate these two worlds into one being.
Cleansing and Purification Support
Sage has been long used for its cleansing and purifying properties throughout Europe and North America. Mugwort is a moving herb that helps relieve the body of stagnation. Both mugwort and sage are aromatic and help awaken our senses and bring forth a sense of vitality to the body during times of lethargy.
Pelvic Health
Mugwort has an affinity for the pelvic region. When mugwort infused oil is massaged into the lower abdomen and whole pelvic region, it can help alleviate the body from fluid stagnation and lymph congestion. Mugwort aids in the release of tension due to temporary ailments such as cramping during mynstruation, ovulatory pain, constipation or abdominal bloating.
Skin Health
Sage’s anti-fungal properties relieve conditions based in yeast, fungal and oil overgrowths including acne and eczema flare-ups. Mugwort can also help stimulate the lymphatic system and encourage healthy blood flow to occur around dull or damaged skin. Sunflower oil is a relatively light oil which balances out the intensity of mugwort and sage, and offers a gentle base for applying to tender skin, such as face, breast and pelvic tissue.
