I made Kava Kava massage oil this evening, and it is COSMIC! I felt it necessary to create something that could help me release some anxiety and tension, both physical and mental. I have been working with Kava Kava for about 5 months now, first being introduced to this plant in my Gaia School Of Healing - Sacred Herbal Medicine Class.

The Kava Kava oil alone is named “LET IT GO,” I landed on this for several reasons, one being that this plant is an invaluable ally to create change within ourselves, to bring forth those positive intentions and to allow what no longer serves us to fall free. While I plan to add this oil to craft medicine for varying ailments, it is beautiful naked and alone, with nothing else to dress it up. The natural smell is even confident, with a spiced earth, peppery undertone.

Kava Kava: A magickal plant from the South Pacific is quite a powerful teacher. This plant has a natural tingling and numbing sensation that is great for alleviating deep stress that has settled or is settling into your joints, muscles, mind or body. This plant is an amazing ally for those of us who struggle with an overactive nervous system and is a beautiful plant to get to know if you have problems with unhealthy habits or addiction. These addictions can be in reference to something tangible like a substance or intangible such as my addiction; overthinking.

This androgynous meditative plant has heart shaped leaves with stems that look like bones and joints, Kava is an incredible heart medicine. This powerful teacher is as much up in the cosmos as it is on earth, grounding and awakening- as above, so below... I’ve worked with her closely for the past 5 months and it is just as heavenly topically as it is internally. Kava Kava can be consumed/enjoyed as a drink in ceremony, before bed, as a tea, with coconut milk, cocao, cinnamon and other spices for flavoring, as a tincture, a personal lube and even a massage oil! After bottling this oil, I started reading about the moon as I like to do from time to time and I found that it was perfectly aligned, I think my mouth actually fell open in shock.. This product couldn’t have been crafted at a better time in our lunar cycle! If you're ever feeling anxious, or the waning moon has you trying to dive deep but you can't, reach for some Kava Kava oil and lather it on your aching lower back, on your legs, your temples, your neck, or massage a beloved. Feel your body relax and tingle while this plant hugs you and alleviates the physical and emotional pain, all the while allowing your mind to remain sharp.

See my next post for my scientific theory on why I believe the cosmos and the moon had something to do with the timing of me being called to make this medicine...And while doing so, as a bonus you get to shine some light onto why you've been feeling extra tired, physically, emotionally and mentally - and why you've been feeling slightly allergic to everyone around you.

Maybe the moon phases will speak to you, maybe you’ll become even more fascinated with how we line up so well with the universe and pay more attention to how you're feeling & how that ties into where we are on the moon cycle. Maybe you'll ask me to craft you some plant medicine to help ground you, or uplift you or cope during your journey, or maybe you’ll just want to try some of my oil! Regardless, do yourself and the universe a favor and take a peek!
