About this product
At the autumn equinox, day and night stand level for a moment before the dark half of the year begins. It is a time for going within: clearing out old ideas, letting them compost into fertile ground, and making room for what grows next. Autumn Hope II was created for that turning, a blend to carry hope through a season of transition.
Aromatically it is beautifully balanced: the sweet sunniness of orange, the gentle spice of cardamom, and the depth and power of agarwood lacing through both. Sweet orange is a smile-bringer, loved for its feeling of happiness and warmth. Cardamom is associated with clarity, direction, enthusiasm and courage. Agarwood, sometimes known as the wood of the gods, is recommended in aromatherapy for clarity, inner peace and the meditative state. Our agarwood is CITES certified, from an endangered species harvested sustainably.
Details
- Blend: sweet orange, cardamom, agarwood (CITES certified)
- Anointing: 10% dilution in fractionated coconut oil, 4 ml roller bottle
- Synergy: undiluted, for diffuser, inhaler or aromatic jewelry; 2 ml makes up to 5 personal inhalers
How to use
Wear the anointing each morning, rolled onto your wrists. Use the undiluted synergy in a diffuser, on aromatic jewelry or in a personal inhaler; when making inhalers, add fractionated coconut oil to keep the oils from evaporating and prolong their aromatic life. Do not apply the undiluted synergy directly to skin. Bring a little hope into the darker half of the year.
