DECEMBER - HERBAL CANDLE

Herbalism is a long forgotten form of healthy living, one of the many things we can regain to instill balance back into our lives. And who knows, maybe that will keep us from battling the ‘next’ pandemic.

When we seek balance in our lives, we want to balance not just our roles in life, but also sync ourselves with nature’s cyclical rhythm. This is true for our smaller moon’s cycles, and for our seasonal shifts around the sun each year.

It is my belief that turning to the wisdom of herbalism bridges nature and science together. Using this wisdom is something our ancestors knew to be both instinctual and common knowledge, and something we can harness in our everyday life practices.

I chose to make an herbal candle for December because it was requested… over and over;-) And now that the snow is sticking to the ground, we can use it to create our candles… we start with your choice of essential oils & then add my proprietary blend of organic coconut oil & beeswax (not much beeswax used as I like to rub the warmed coconut oil on my skin;-) Then it is your turn to choose the herbs & flowers you wish to add for an energetic & beauty boost to your candle.

But before we begin with the candle creating, we will get a little personal with ourselves, and take ten minutes to answer a few questions…BREATHE;-)

HERBS & YOU:

What herbs do you already use?

Do you have a favorite herb(s)?

What wild herbs can you find near your home?

What unused herbs seem to call you?

Are you craving something in your life that herbs can assist in calling in?

Is there a scent you wish to infuse into a room?
