Ruda & Copal (Soothing, Circulatory Oil)
This oil blend of Ruda/Rue/Feyjan is grown & tended with so much love, and lovingly gifted Copal from Mexico. This blend came from navigating thresholds of rage, and grief, and re-orienting the body and psyche during times of ongoing genocide and injustices towards Earth/Lifeways/Family/Kin. My prayer is that this blend can support the emotional, spiritual, and physical terrains you hold while moving toward the visions of liberation with discernment and clarity.
How: Apply on temples, sacral/abdominal area, chest, heart, low back. A wellspring of warmth, cleansing & protection, helpful for release work, homecoming & courage. Also can be used as anointment oil.
Ruda (Feyjan in Arabic) is a beloved ancestral plant kin with whom I have deepened my relationship every year. Honestly, there’s so much mystery yet profound familiarity to them. Their roots with a long & rich tradition come from the SWANA & Mediterranean area and have become part of traditional lifeways & healing traditions in Mesoamerica. Simply said & summarized, they hold profound significance in cultural & healing practices due to their protective, warming, and circulatory properties. From protecting & cleansing from the “evil eye” (also “susto” in Spanish, “ghouf” in Arabic), reinforcing psychic and emotional discernment, to bringing in warmth to ease pain, congestion, and stuck energy. They make a wonderful ally for aiding cramps, promoting circulation, and healing sacral/pelvic trauma. Copal(Copalcoahuitl/Copalli) was added to assist with the detangling process which can feel heavy while offering a refreshing perspective. Copalli’s uplifting and enlivening aroma brings us back to remembering ourselves in the wider web of life. Like most tree resins, Copalli is a guide and teacher for strengthening intention and bridges between the seen/unseen realms while purifying the mind and sticky residue. Therefore, amplifying discernment, protection, and rekindling connection.
Herbs are lovingly gathered and slow-infused in organic almond oil.
Caution — due to their volatile oils and warming properties, do not work with Ruda if intending to get pregnant or are pregnant. They hold traditional uses for promoting the release of unwanted pregnancies (via stimulating the uterus) if worked with properly and at the correct timing.
Caution with Sun exposure when product is applied, some folks have a skin reaction to rue — especially if applied before direct sun exposure. Try on a small skin patch first.
