Designed by our resident herbalist and prepared by hand on the premises, Opal Oils are used gratis in our treatment sessions and are available for take-home purchase. They are designed to suit a variety of needs and moods.
Below is not a complete list of Opal Oils; these are the blends we currently offer for sale, based on popular demand.
RELAXATION
Geranium, lavender and chamomile calm, soothe and help prepare you to rest and sleep. Also useful when anxiety is suppressing your appetite.
BREATH*
Assists the optimal functioning of upper and lower respiratory systems, and stimulates the immune system response to cold and flu. Stuffy noses and chests appreciate the aromas of peppermint, tea tree and eucalyptus while hyssop, marjoram and thyme soothe and assist in expectoration.
COMFORT
Rose, neroli and mandarin are like a nice cozy bed with freshly laundered soft sheets. A delicious respite anytime, Comfort also gently but deeply eases sorrow, grief, and depression, soothes crying spells, and warms and softens (non)feelings of numbness and disconnection, especially around the heart. Particularly effective for the heart and throat chakra areas and the face, tending to both the delicate skin and energetic
concerns of these regions.
BANISHING THE BLAHS*
Developed to help move physical and energetic qualities that feel stuck and “blah” from time to time: whether fluid and lymph or stagnant chi, it’ll be shown the door during the enhanced elimination processes encouraged by the all-star team of cypress, lemon, cedar, bergamot, lemongrass and eucalyptus. Excellent post-illness, midwinter.
ILLUMINATION (LISA’S BLEND)
Developed for a client who found, through a lengthy, life-threatening illness, a path to greater self-awareness and spiritual growth. Illumination’s uplifting yet soothing blend of ylang-ylang, bergamot, grapefruit and bitter orange inspire a light heart and compassion for self and others. Facilitates easygoing contemplation, and appreciation of being in the moment. A heart chakra opener, also useful to ease sorrow, grief, depression and harsh self-judgement.
MIRTH
Inspires merriment and enjoyment of being in the moment. Mandarin, rose geranium and atlas cedar open the heart, mind and senses while keeping you grounded and present.
REVERIE
A complex fragrance of jasmine sambac, grapefruit and atlas cedar conjures the mood of vivid and poetic daydreams. Inspired by memories of a trip to Mexico’s Michoacan highlands, where for thousands of years the world’s monarch butterflies have flocked every winter: so thickly do they gather that an orange glow completely blankets the mountaintop Oyamel fir forests, and in the rarified air at 12,000 ft., the stage whisper of billions of fluttering diaphanous wings fills your ears and stirs your senses.
MAMA’S ANYTIME ALL-PURPOSE BLEND
Lavender, chamomile, rose and mandarin is a balanced blend of scents especially useful and widely-applicable during the childbearing year–gently soothing and calming to nervous and digestive systems, as well as nourishing and healing to sensitive, delicate, and mildly irritated skin.
MAMA’S BREATH
A super-gentle alternative to our standard BREATH blend, featuring myrtle. Useful for sniffling, coughing conditions.
