It's important to me that we all become more accustomed to utilizing seasonal gifts that Gaia offers when she offers them! I don't know about you, but when I was a child, I could not be convinced that dandelions were weeds. I simply believed them to be an unloved flower. As it turns out, dandelions are one of the most vibrant and medicinal gifts in herbalism! Not only are they potent allies when ingested internally for detoxifying the liver and moving waters through the body, they are a powerful antioxidant. Topically, they are anti-inflammatory, skin firming and antibacterial/anti-fungal. For a detox themed soap, I pulled out all the stops. I infused the oils with fresh dandelion, palo santo, frankincense, sage, and myrrh. I went on to add Celtic sea salt, activated charcoal and yellow/green Brazilian clay to detoxify the skin further. She is scented with frankincense and lemon essential oils, which feels like a crisp new start. Have you ever felt like you just need to shower and rinse all the gunky vibes of the world down the drain? This will do it both literally and energetically. A hearty thank you to the star of the show, dandelion. You were never a weed. I always loved you. All ingredients are organic and locally sourced when possible. Used herbs are offered back to Gaia as an offering of gratitude.
