HEART OPENING SALVE — Rose, Lavender & Nettle
A potent, wildcrafted balm made with wild rose, lavender, and nettle infused into organic cold-pressed sunflower oil. To anoint the heart with this salve is to awaken it — to its purpose, its power, and its capacity for fierce and tender love.
The heart is fire. It is passion and warmth, rage and compassion, the spark of life and the engine of transformation. This balm works to tend that fire. To help you transform from a place of deep self-love, held within the fierce and boundaried protection of your own sovereign flame.
Rose carries the magic of love and transformation — for transformation is always, in some way, a death of the old and a flowering of the new. Lavender brings love, protection, and the opening of psychic and emotional pathways. Nettle is a plant of fire and fierce boundaries, of deep nourishment and purification — she builds strength from the ground up and protects everything she touches.
Together they offer a path back to the truth that we can be soft and open and loving while still being fierce protectors of our own tender hearts.
For meditation and journeying: apply a pea-sized amount over the heart space, pulse points, and third eye. Breathe deeply and allow the herbs to open the energetic heart.
As medicine: apply over the heart area on the front and back of the body. Deepens the breath, stimulates movement in the heart space, and supports the body through colds, fevers, and the healing of broken hearts.
Packaged in a reusable tin. Available in a vegan version with cacao butter in place of beeswax.
Ingredients: Organic cold-pressed olive oil infused with wild rose, lavender and nettle, beeswax or cacao butter, vitamin E oil, essential oils of rose geranium and rosemary.
Wild Folk Apothecary creations are now used by practitioners in therapeutic settings to help clients access the deeper wisdom held within the body. If you are a practitioner and would like to commission a specific balm or oil for use in your practice, please get in touch.
