In addition to that she has studied with some of the finest aroma therapists in the world.

Our Artisan Blends

Love

Have you ever wanted to walk into a room and whisper you are loved without uttering a word?  With our blend of "Love" you can literally radiate the presence of love. It will be recognized on a subtle level by everyone, even those who are afraid to believe or trust in love.  The top notes of this fragrance are rose and Jasmine, with citrus middle notes, and the depth and richness of myrrh as a lingering fragrance.  Although it has floral top notes, it is not exclusively feminine. "Love" has enough depth and cleanness for a man to wear as well. But most especially, fill your home and special moments with "Love".

Available in 1/3 oz and 1/6 oz.  

Precious

This is a very delicate floral that you will recognize the moment you open the bottle.  It is almost identical to the beautiful Oriental Lilly that you see and smell so delightfully at Easter.  This exotic lily has a bit of citrus top note and a touch of spice in the middle notes.  This is a very skillful blend that starts with Ylang Ylang and then builds with multi-layered spicy and citrus overtones until it is almost exactly like the rare lily of Easter.  By itself, Ylang Ylang can be very direct and strong.   This blend, however, it is so light and complex you will enjoy wearing it all day.  Anyone would enjoy it in the room as an aroma to lift the spirits.  It is full of joy, love, and loveliness.  Simply precious! 

Available in 1/3 oz. and 1/6 oz. 

Magdalene's Blessing

Magdalene’s blessing is one of the most beautiful, rich, and evocative blends of essential oil that we offer. It was created under higher guidance, as always. Mary Magdalene is famous in the Bible for anointing Jeshua's feet with Spikenard. But if you have ever smelled Spikenard, you might wonder where the blessing was. It typically has a very pungent almost offensive odor.  Two thousand years ago it was not a distilled fragrance, but an infusion of flowers in oil. That made all the difference.  It took years of searching for the right botanical source and then a stroke of inspiration for the right alchemical blend.  Its inspirational value seems to lie in the inoculation against fear. As the antithesis of love, fear is at the base of all our lower states of being and health. There is a sublime quality to this beautiful fragrance that lifts us to heights where only love commands.

Available in 1/3 oz and 1/6 oz.  

Clarity

Clarity is one of the most beautiful combinations of richness and freshness you may ever inhale.  It enlivens all the senses, especially those of the heart.  Clarity is a blend of Christ Scent and Wisdom, plus an extra special ingredient to nurture the body.  Clarity is its own unique fragrance.  However, since it is composed of two Sacred Touch blends, it will work beautifully with any of your Temple anointing oils.  I find that it helps me to clarify my intentions and feelings.

Available in 1/3 oz. and 1/6 oz. 

Om
 
OM is a fragrance that takes us into a state of reverence and preparedness to receive sacred revelations or healing.  It opens the Sacred Heart and all the other sacred centers where body, mind, and spirit connect.  It is appropriate to use this before prayer or meditation, or in any communion with the Divine. It can be used in combination with any of the other oils.

Available in 1/3 oz. and 1/6 oz.  

Aliveness

You've heard of "breathtaking" well, this is breath-giving!  You just can't breathe enough in! And when you step outside and experience the alchemy of this fragrance with the open air, you want to sing like a bird. It's like the freshest air you can imagine in the richest natural environment you could visit. There would be no better way to prepare yourself: body, mind, and soul, for the annual renewal of life than to celebrate with the finest elixir nature can provide.  Simply wonderful, fresh, and lasting.

Available in 1/3 oz. and 1/6 oz  

Heart's Desire

Heart’s Desire is a blend of precious essential oils that offer several levels of inspiration and enjoyment.  There is the clean citrus top note that motivates us to be clear about what we really want and to make the fresh starts necessary to bring in new energy.  The deeper base notes suggest a rich fall harvest and great thanksgiving for all the blessings that have already been given and await our future discovery.  Woven through these fragrant dimensions is the richness of sweet Myrrh, which reminds us that all true desire is “of God” and begins in the temple of our Hearts.

Available in 1/3 oz. and 1/6 oz  

Holy Ground

This is a serene, vibrant, alpine fragrance, a bit woodsy, very fresh, and with a hint of wild flowers.  It was created to help you leave the world below as you ascend into higher states of prayer and meditation.

Available in 1/3 oz. and 1/6 oz.  

Sanctuary

This wonderful refreshing blend provides a relaxing retreat for body, heart, and soul.  It is a light, minty blend of those essential oils most known for reducing stress and physical discomfort.  It consists primarily of fine French lavender, a variety of mints, with a sizable portion of rose for the heart and soul.  In today’s climate of anxiety, stress, and overwork this blend provides a wonderful retreat from the cares of the world and a revitalizing sanctuary of relaxing aromas.  I use it after bath, before bed, and during work.  What really works well is to place a drop or two in my hands, add some lotion to that, and then rub my feet, hands, or aching joints and muscles.  It is great in a room diffuser to turn your space into a sanctuary.

Available in 1/3 oz. and 1/6 oz.  

Medieval Miracle

This is a potent blend dating back to the middle ages.  According to legend, four thieves in 15th century England used this blend to protect themselves while robbing plague victims.  This is a recipe of the finest Clove, Lemon, Cinnamon, Eucalyptus, and Rosemary.  Essential oils only, no carriers.  I have had extraordinary success using this blend on insect bites and minor scrapes or cuts for which I would normally use antibiotic cream.  I have also used it to create a homemade inhaler for use on commercial airlines where viruses could be spread like the plague.  Your intuition, or your health care professional, may have many creative ideas about how to further use it.  It has a delightful spicy aroma and comes straight from nature’s apothecary.

Available in 1/3 oz. and 1/6 oz.  

CERMT

This is an awesome therapeutic blend that was used by aroma therapists and CERtified Massage Therapists on the rescue workers during the 9/11 crisis in New York City. This blend contains the finest variety of each type of oil including Wild Crafted lavender, Organic Rosemary, Organic Eucalyptus, Organic Fir, Organic Naiouli, Organic Tea Tree and Peppermint Super. This blend was originally developed to go into massage oil, and you may use it in that way.  However, you may use this blend in a variety of applications since what you will receive is only 100% pure essential oil in the CERMT blend. It is from one of the finest distilleries I know, far above commercial grade.

Available in 1/3 oz. and 1/6 oz.  

Serenity

"Serenity" is the recipe for greater repose. It has the refreshing and inviting fragrance of an herbal garden, like fresh breezes after a rain. It’s the perfect fragrance for moving into rest, sleep, or therapeutic massage. Try making a spritz using the recipe in "Anointed with Oil," then gently spray it on your pillow for super sweet dreams in the arms of Mother Nature!

Available in 1/3 oz. and 1/6 oz.  

Rose Blend

Rose is considered the ultimate 'heart opening' oil, and its tonic action on the heart appears to help relieve cardiac congestion, improve sluggish circulation, and tone the capillaries. Rose also offers a soothing property to the nerves, as well as emotional and psychological state of mind.  It helps us to seek love and recover from disappointments in love.  Rose is also considered the premier oil for treating conditions of the reproductive system for both women and men.

Rose has one of the highest ORAC values and electromagnetic frequencies of any essential oil.  The problem with what you find in most retail supply is that it is either synthetic, or if real it may be very low grade or very diluted with carrier oils.  The reason: a pound of rose oil sells at the distiller price for $4,000.  Just do the math.  This is why we honestly declare ours to be a blend.  Our Rose, however, is not blended with seed, nut, or vegetable oils, which block the energy and absorption of essential oils and become rancid.  Our rose is blended with a very rare fragrance-free pure essential oil balsam that is actually one of the most valued essential oils for healing among rainforest people.  We buy this directly from the indigenous people who make a sustainable economy from it.  It takes on the fragrance of Rose as if the two were married.  Truly elegant, simply exquisite.

Neroli Blend

Neroli essential oil is the pure fragrance of Orange blossoms.   Meditators and mystics through the ages claim it opens the Crown Chakra.   In all situations, it helps us to express our joy in life and connect with a higher guidance.  To appreciate its rarity, just consider that it takes 1,000 pounds of blossoms to make 1 pound of oil.  Neroli oil has been traditionally used to uplift the spirit, relieve depression, and recover from shock by imparting a sense of peace.  It can also help with anxiety, convalescence, fatigue, insomnia, nervous exhaustion, nervous skin rashes, palpitations, poor circulation, and all aging conditions of the skin. 

Neroli, like Rose, has one of the highest electromagnetic frequencies of any essential oil, and it is one of the most beautiful of all the oils.  However, what you find in most retail supply is either synthetic and artificial smelling, or, if real, it has been degraded with carrier oils.  Neroli is very fragile and does not survive bad blends.  Like Rose, it is very expensive, currently selling at the distributor level for $2,200 a pound. Just do the math.  This is why we honestly declare ours to be a blend.  Our Neroli, however, is not blended with seed, nut, or vegetable oils, which block the energy and absorption of essential oils and become rancid (as well as ruining its fragrance).  Our Neroli is blended with a very rare fragrance-free pure essential oil balsam that is actually one of the most valued essential oils for healing among rainforest people.  We buy this directly from the indigenous people who make a sustainable economy from it.  It takes on the fragrance of Neroli as if the two were married.  Absolutely gorgeous.  You may never stop smelling your hand!

Available in 1/3 oz. and 1/6 oz.  

Pure Botanical Essences

We take pride in offering you the best experience you can have with essential oil.  In order for that to happen, an essential oil has to be pure and it has to be a joy to inhale.  We are sorry to say that most of what is found on the store shelves is neither pure nor beautiful, or at the very least possessing only one quality and not the other.  However, I personally know and trust all of our distillers, and we only work with those who provide accountability.  None of our blends contain carrier oils, perfume oils, or any synthetic content.

They are beautiful because of the careful selection of sources and blends.  Aside from the obvious reasons of honesty in labeling, it is important that essential oils not be diluted with carrier oils, for those oils are not antimicrobial and can become rancid.  It is important that no synthetic perfume oils be used because of possible toxicity. It is fine, at the consumer’s end that essential oil be added to some form of lotion, massage oil, soap, or alcohol for spritzes. You will find many great recipes in “Anointed With Oil.”  However, this should be YOUR choice, and you need to know that the very long-term shelf life of pure essential oil will be shortened to that of the substances into which it is introduced.

The selections we offer are only a few out of hundreds that are available from worldwide sources.  However, the ones we offer are the most desirable oils that meet all of our criteria for purity and beauty, and also fall in a price range that will not break the budget.  Actually we work very hard to provide oils that are a bargain at an exceptional quality, beauty, and price point. As we find more that match all of our criteria, we will add them to the line.  We hope you will enjoy each one of them and be blessed in health and happiness as they touch your life.

Clove Bud

Our Clove Bud oil from Madagascar is warm, sweet, peppery and candy-like.  Many fragrance professionals regard Madagascar's clove as the best variety.  It has an appetizing scent similar to the common household spice. However, far beyond its fragrant appeal, this is an amazing topical antibiotic in a form much purer than any available in stores. 

Modern scientific research has shown that there are several reasons why essential oils can improve our health.  We are all familiar with the importance of having enough antioxidants to fight the harmful free-radicals that damage our cells and slowly cause us to age and develop chronic degenerative diseases.  Scientists at tufts University have developed a scale for the US Dept of Agriculture called the ORAC Scale: Oxygen Radical Absorption Capacity.  The higher the score the more capable any food or topical substance is of destroying free radicals.  The free-radical fighting ability of antioxidants is measured in ORAC units.  Broccoli and spinach have ORAC values of 890 and 1,260 respectively.  The berry group (blueberry, strawberry, raspberry, and others) has ORAC scores of between 1,200 and 2,400 (highest in blueberry).  However, he best fruits do not come close to the ORAC power of essential oils.  The weakest of essential oils (sandalwood) has an ORAC value above 2,000.  And, amazingly, clove bud essential oil has ORAC power of over 1 million!  With that kind of capacity to knock out harmful free-radicals, we should not be surprised at the healing properties of this essential oil.

Organic French High Mountain Lavender

The scent is fresh and sweet, floral, natural and winsome. Unlike some floral extracts, French Lavender is not the least bit overpowering.  It is gentle and uplifting, with a decidedly floral beauty. Chemically the European lavenders are quite different from English Lavender, which has higher linalool content, and that makes them a bit more pungent.  French Lavender has a higher ester content than lavenders cultivated at lower altitudes. For Lavender high altitudes are preferable. The distillations carried out at higher altitudes also tend to produce improved oils, due to lower distillation temperatures. This one is pure and organic to start with.  If you love lavender, it will be your all time favorite.  Rarely available in stores anywhere.

Lavender oil is known for its analgesic, anti-inflammatory, antiseptic, diuretic and sedative properties. It is used to treat skin problems like acne, psoriasis and eczema. It is used to topically treat burns, sunburns, wounds, sores and insect bites. Lavender oil is also helpful in curing bronchitis, sinusitis, flu, colds and throat infections. As it is calming and relaxing, it helps induce sleep and can help in the treatment of insomnia.

Peppermint

The absolute best, sweetest, most candy-like peppermint oil you will ever smell!  With its natural mint flavor and scent, Peppermint is useful in a number of personal body care recipes and around-the-house mixes.  Peppermint's powerful scent can change the environment and air quality very quickly thus acting as an air deodorizer. Peppermint also has an amazing ability to increase alertness to aid with concentration. In small doses, Peppermint has a cooling, soothing effect, and when combined with lavender it can be useful in treating sunburns. As an astringent, Peppermint is good for bacterial or viral infections of the mouth, as well as a variety of digestion issues, nausea and diarrhea.

Beneficial in treating osteoarthritis, cramps, muscular relaxation & sprains, and lower back pain, thanks to its anti-inflammatory and anti-spasmodic properties.  It aids with digestion, especially helpful in treating irritable bowel syndrome. Peppermint is an anti-inflammatory, antiseptic and an expectorant that is especially helpful during coughing attacks. It can also relieve itching from allergies and is frequently used as an insect repellent. My favorite use for Peppermint: Add 15 drops of Peppermint oil to 8 ounces of pure water and use for a mouthwash. (Your mouth will feel tingly.) To end nausea on the spot, inhale some Peppermint! Oh, and for gas... put one drop of Peppermint oil on a sugar cube and let it dissolve in your mouth.

Bergamot

Our Bergamot oil, from the Ivory Coast, is sweet and characteristically citrus but warm and with uniquely floral nuances. Bergamot is a fruit the size of an orange, with a yellow color similar to a lemon, and has a pleasant fragrance. Citrus bergamot is native to Asia and is commercially grown in Calabria (Italy), in France, and the finest specimens come from the Ivory Coast.  Bergamot grows on small trees which blossom during the winter. The distinctive aroma of the bergamot is most commonly known for its use in Earl Grey tea, though the juice of the fruit has also been used in Calabrian indigenous medicine as an herbal remedy for malaria and its essential oil is popular in all kinds of aromatherapy applications.  Like all citrus oils, it can cause photosensitivity to ultraviolet light.  Therefore it is not recommended before being in the sun directly or for long periods of time.

It refreshes and balances the emotions and is especially useful in times of anxiety and when dealing with depression. Good for bacterial or viral infections of the mouth, including nasal mucus.  Bergamot is useful in stimulating poor circulation, while relaxing and calming the nervous system. Bergamot has anti-inflammatory and slightly diuretic properties, which also makes it useful in treating varicose veins.  It helps relieve the pain, itch and swelling from insect bites and stings, while repelling insects as well.  A powerful antiseptic, Bergamot is useful in the first aid treatment of minor cuts and wounds. It also helps prevent scar tissue.

A great use for Bergamot: Add equal amounts of Bergamot oil and Lavender oil to some unscented vitamin E cream for the best dry skin hand lotion ever!

Himalayan Cedar wood

This most lovely and sacred cedar of all is from the high country of Nepal.  This is the cedar oil used for temple incense by Tibetan Buddhists. It is rich, sweet, woody and almost balsamic.  It has a gentle and complex aroma that works well in blends without overpowering the other fragrances to which it is added.   As a single scent it is also gentle, subtle, and very high energy. 

Cedar is recognized for its calming, purifying effects, and its benefits to the skin and underlying tissue. Possibly related to its use as a spiritually grounding scent, the oil may stimulate the pineal gland which releases melatonin as well as human growth hormone. The limbic system (center of emotions) is also stimulated by the high sesquiterpene content. Cedar oil is considered fortifying and strengthening, being noted as a tonifier of the kidneys, spleen and pancreas.  It is included in blends to enhance one's overall energy and to support adrenal function.

Eucalyptus

Eucalyptus essential oil has a balancing and stimulating effect.  Ours is wild harvested from the leaves of the Australian Native Eucalyptus tree.  Its aroma is a mix of camphor and the forest.  Eucalyptus oil has analgesic, anti-inflammatory, antiseptic, and antiviral properties. It is popularly used to treat lung disorders like asthma and bronchitis. Eucalyptus oil is often used to treat flu as a decongestant and it great for headaches and sinus problems when inhaled or massaged with base oil into the scalp. It is also used to relieve muscle and rheumatic pains by massaging it into the skin.

Eucalyptus is mentally invigorating and stimulating.  It increases alertness and gives one a greater ability to concentrate.  It is great for relieving driving stress and encourages alertness in the car.  In addition to that, eucalyptus has a powerful scent that can change the environment and air quality very quickly. It's a great odor remover.

Some aroma therapists say Eucalyptus is valuable for treating Urinary Tract infections and recommend a few drops in a bath. I especially like its ability to open up the nasal passages and invigorate the senses. Put some boiling hot water in a bowl, add a few drops of Eucalyptus, put a towel over your head and the bowl, and inhale the steam to clear out your sinuses. Or just put a few drops on a warm wet wash cloth and hold to your nose.

Red Grapefruit

Grapefruit is known as a happy oil due to its uplifting qualities, which also contribute to concentration and self-confidence. Ours is a red deliciously fragrant grapefruit that is absolutely the best Grapefruit essential oil we've ever come across, by far.

Grapefruit is used in aromatherapy spa treatments to improve lymphatic drainage and to ease muscle stiffness, by dispersing lactic acids. Grapefruit essential oil is anti-infectious, anti-inflammatory, anti-septic, detoxifying, anti-depressant, immune boosting, skin-toning and mentally rejuvenating.  In aromatherapy applications, grapefruit is refreshing, cheering, slightly euphoria-inducing and energizing. Grapefruit's sweet and familiar aroma can evoke warm feelings that melt sour dispositions. Grapefruit essential oil is a "releasing" oil -- so personalities that tend to harbor resentment or keep emotions bottled up can benefit from inhaling this oil.

Like many of the citrus oils, it has a unique 'fat dissolving' characteristic. This is the essential oil most noted for use in reducing cellulite, (it can be used by itself, or in a carrier and massaged into those areas) and can be included in massage blends for this application. It has been shown in laboratory studies to increase the metabolism of adipose tissue (fat cells, and specifically 'brown' fat cells.) It is also very useful for cleansing oily skin and helping with acne due to its astringent nature, therefore it is great for rejuvenating the complexion.

Ylang Ylang

Means "flower of flowers" and its beauty is legendary.  The flowers were once spread on the beds of newlyweds.  Now you can enjoy it in this precious essential oil that comes from the flowers of the Cananga tree. 

It is most commonly used for body perfume and fragrance for the room.  However, it also has serious therapeutic contributions to offer.   This beautiful oil has been used to treat depression, high blood pressure, insomnia, impotence, insect bites, frigidity, dry skin and hair loss.  Ylang Ylang helps to sedate the nerves while stimulating the circulatory system.  Its sedative qualities are helpful with relaxation, relieving anxiety, palpitations, and tearfulness.  It is most helpful in times of anger, aggression, irritability, nervous tension because it stimulates the production of endorphins (the body's natural pain killers).  This makes it an excellent oil in times of stress induced pain.  For the same reason it also helps to counteract the effects of hair loss, which is often related to overproduction of stress induced hormones.

For an evening of relaxation try combining three drops of Ylang Ylang and a drop each of Clary Sage and Bergamot into a tub of very warm bath water.

Available in 1/3 oz. and 1/6 oz.  

Clary Sage

Our Clary Sage is distilled from only the flowers, unlike most which come from both leaves and flowers.  This rare version has a fresh and delicate top-note which progresses into a rich sweet-herbaceous body-note of long duration.  Its dry-out notes are balsamic-amber-like, reminiscent of sweet hay and tea-leaves, with unusual tenacity.

Clary Sage soothes and warms while uplifting the spirit.   It is purported to be a nerve tonic and remedy for depression, tension, aging skin and PMS.  It can help to regulate and balance your emotions, and it's often used to clear the mind, de-stress, and treat insomnia thanks to its relaxing and soothing characteristics.  Clary Sage is useful in lifting depression and de-stressing.  Clary Sage is a natural antiseptic, antibacterial, astringent, and deodorant.  It can ease night sweats due to menopause and encourage peaceful sleep.

Rose Geranium

This essential oil is comforting and healing with a sweet, floral and earthy aroma. There are over seven hundred varieties of geranium.  All of them are very direct in their aromatic impact.  However, I feel that Rose geranium, which is a bit rosier and more complex, has more subtlety and softness to offer the senses.  All geranium oil has a balancing effect on the nervous system and relieves depression and anxiety, while lifting the spirits and making the world an easier place to live in. It has a balancing effect on the adrenal cortex and is great for relieving stress.

Its haemostatic nature helps the body systems to balance themselves, and since the adrenal cortex is stimulated and balanced, the hormonal system of the body is also corrected and aligned.  On the lymphatic system it has a greatly stimulating effect and with that helps with detoxifying the body and also affects female health in treating PMS.

It has a general diuretic effect on the body and balances the water systems in the body, correcting any poor elimination of water and waste material. It is useful for treating jaundice, gall stones and can also be used for restraining nose bleeds and other hemorrhaging.

Frankincense

The spirit of the sacred and of meditation has surrounded Frankincense essential oil for ages The English name of this natural incense is derived from the medieval French 'franc', meaning 'pure' or 'free', and from the Latin 'incensium', meaning 'like smoke rising to the heavens.”  Frankincense oil has the power to uplift human awareness to higher levels by freeing the nerves from excessive tension, allowing us to focus on the underlying transcendental unity of our inner Self.

Frankincense oil is linked to the psyche, which in Greek also means "breathing". It deepens and revitalizes the breath and adds to these effects its excellent immune-stimulant properties. In skin care, frankincense oil reveals its balsamic nature through its miraculous wound healing properties. Astringent and anti-inflammatory, it is traditionally used to treat scar tissue and skin ulcers, and nourishes dry and prematurely aging skin. Its anti-depressant, euphoric qualities are used in psycho-aromatherapy to treat anxiety & nervous tension.

The Frankincense tree, or Olibanum, upon first glance, may seem rather unremarkable. It appears as a gangly shrub, with many knurled branches topped with abundant slender leaves and occasionally, small white flowers. A native to northern Africa, it looks like it belongs in the desert, growing in some of the world's harshest conditions. It is not the tree, however, but its sap that has such profound lore surrounding it. When the tree's bark is pierced with a knife a milky-white oleoresin is exuded. The resin forms droplets known as 'tears' or 'pearls', which harden into the orange-brown gum known itself as Frankincense.  Because of this harvesting method, it is sustainable, as in Myrrh.

USDA researchers at Tufts University in Boston, Massachusetts, have developed a new laboratory test to measure the oxygen radical absorption capacity of different foods and natural substances.  Known as the ORAC scale, it is one of the most sensitive and reliable methods for measuring antioxidant capacity for any food or substance.  We list this wherever the score is known.  Most of them are amazingly high, and even the lowest is higher than blueberries, a high anti-oxidant food source.  Please keep in mind, however, that this is only one of the important values of an essential oil.
