Calendula Oil - Homemade healing herbal oils!
We LOVE herbal healing oils! It is such a nurturing, loving and gentle way to work with healing herbs. It is a very safe and easy modality - you can eat and bathe in these oils, and so can your children.
We make the oils from the plants in our garden that we meditate with or from wildharvested herbs. All harvested and handled with care, respect and deep gratitude for the plants.
NOTE: Right now we have 2 bottles of newly made Calendula oil! Yah (end of July 2024) :) If you want to order more it is made-to-order and will take 2-3 weeks to create for you.
Calendula Oil (calendula officinalis - Morgenfrue)
Throughout the summer we meditated with the plants we planted throughout our garden. Each flower is hand-picked and dried at the right time. This oil is made from sunflower (Helianthus annuus - Solsikke) or borage (Borago officinalis - Hjulkrone) oil.
Calendula is a master healer - powerful yet soft and gentle! These two elements together are exactly why we see Calendula as such a powerful healing plant. This is exactly what the overstressed, pressured nervous system of the West needs. Not to stress, but to stretch the nervous system.
Calendula is a plant that has a wealth of medicinal and magical healing properties to share.
Including digestive problems, menstrual problems and is a staple in women's health, particularly in promoting vaignal well-being. It is known for its anti-inflammatory and soothing properties, especially for treating skin conditions such as rashes, burns, and wounds. Calendula has antifungal, anti-inflammatory, and antibacterial properties, making it a valuable remedy for wounds and various skin conditions. Hence the tradition of using calendula in creams and soaps.
About our herbal oils
These are not essential oils. These are oil masarations, oil extracts of plants - a traditional way of preserving and getting all the goodness and medicinal properties out of the plants.
The whole process from (possibly sowing, tending), harvesting and processing the plants have been done with love and the intention to become medicine. Some of our oils are made with wild harvested plants and some are made with plants we have grown in our garden (thus including the part of sowing and tending).
We do not use mixers to process our plants, everything is done by hand. Even the knife we use to cut the fresh plants is a special copper knife, made to give something back to the plants when they are harvested. (Plants need copper to transform carbon dioxide to oxygen)
Like all herbal medicines, it needs to be worked with persistently over time to really connect deeply with the spirit, but also to learn all the benefits from the medicinal properties of the plants. A single use can introduce you to the medicine, but it takes more to support deep healing, whether it be physical, emotional, energetic, or transpersonal.
