Cones
The cone has, for centuries, been associated with the pineal gland and spiritual expansion. A sculpture of a cone can be seen in Vatican City, as well as in ancient art from many cultures, and generally is said to symbolize spiritual enlightenment, divine wisdom and immortality. These essences are excellent for meditation, amplifying intention or prayer, and for brain balance and health. Essential oils made from cones are a rarity in the world of aromatherapy, and ours is artisan-produced in the Four Corners area of the US.

Flowers – Blossoms and Petals

As a group, flower blossom essences are extremely heart opening and are powerful, natural aphrodisiacs. They show us our greatest potential and they show us the power of acting from a place of love.
