Perhaps it's because the weather's turned a bit cooler here in New York, but for some reason I have an insane urge to traipse around in the Mohave desert at sunset with some long trailing poncho and perfectly windswept hair (cocktail in hand of course). I'd stumble across a Native American sweat lodge fragrant with burning sage, decorative Pendleton throw pillows and I'd find out what my spirit animal is...hey, a girl can fantasize!
Keeping in the shamanic vein, on my fall wishlist is some palo santo essential oil. Palo Santo Oil or “Holy Wood” is rare and unique oil from Ecuador. A relative of frankincense, it is commonly used in spiritual practices to help cleanse energy (similar to sage smudging). It is also considered to be anti-infammatory, anti-bacterial and good for muscle aches. I love the smell when I burn the wood at home and it immediately gives me a sense of well being. Ideally, I'd love to combine this with jojoba in a rollerball so I can pop in my bag and use anytime I need a little spiritual stress reliever or pick me up.
What's your go-to stress reliever oil? Comment below!
