Belly Balm
With this balm i invite you to connect with your abdomen, belly or womb space. This is a topical made to connect with and remember the intelligence of your beautiful body. To support your personal power, to bring healing of the plants to a place where many of us hold shame, sadness, memories of all sorts. The place in which new life is created, no matter who we are we share this space as a portal to our lives as we know it.
Belly Balm is infused with 4 different plants of the earth. Two types of mugwort - for ancestral remembrance, for initiation on the plant path, protection. Thought to be one of the oldest plants - How many of your ancestors also knew or were witnessed by this plant?
Theres also yarrow, all together now, “we love you yarrow”. A womb balancer, gentle protector. & our regional sweetfern rounds out this blend. A revered North American plant for many different groups of Native Americans. Sweetfern has many medicinal properties. In this blend we call on Sweetfern for clarity, for releasing muck & allowing space for *the now*.
How to: Hold one of the individual salve discs in your hands. Warm it, rub your fingers over it and feel the smoothness, notice the shape, the texture, etc. Allow yourself to take it slow and spend sometime to rub this is circles around your belly.
Utilize in times when your self-worth is lacking. When you feel separate and have forgotten that you are a part of something more. Utilize for monthly cramping if your body experiences that. Utilize post-trauma to reconnect with who you are and who you are becoming.
