Every month brings its own rhythm, but some essences rise to the top again and again — the ones we reach for by habit, the allies that simply work. For our May Promotion, we’re sharing the Wisdom of the Earth Staff Picks: Our “Tried and True” Favorites, a collection of oils and essences we rely on daily for their steadiness, versatility and true plant wisdom.
These are the bottles we keep within arm’s reach: the clarifiers, the calmers, the brighteners, the protectors. Oils that meet you where you are — whether you need a quick reset, a deeper grounding, or a gentle lift back into yourself. They’re trusted because they show up consistently, across seasons, moods, and bodies.
This month, we’re offering them at 40% off as a way of saying: Here are the plants we count on. May they become your go‑to favorites, too!
Once again, here is the “administrative” side of participating in our monthly Promotion. Please read these instructions, even if you have participated before, as some ordering aspects may have changed.
1. The 40% off promotional offer on these select items runs Friday, May 15th, starting at 12:01 am, and ends Sunday, May 17th at midnight, Mountain Standard Time. Insurance is included in the shipping cost, which covers leakage, damage or loss.
2. If you normally order through your Wisdom of the Earth teacher or distributor, please do so for this promotion. You will receive the same 40% discount you would receive ordering directly from us, and doing so honors the ongoing relationship you have with our representative. They are also able to advise if you have questions regarding whether something would be helpful for you, and how to apply it most effectively for the use you have in mind, etc.
3. We have programmed the website to reflect the 40% off prices for these ten items; for reference, the regular price is shown in the product descriptions below. When you place an order for any of these ten products, the discounted price will be applied automatically. No coupons are necessary.
4. The name of each product in the descriptions below is a link to the product on our website’s on-line store, if you want to go directly to it. Or, you can just make a list of the ones you are interested in as you read through the descriptions, and use the search function on the website to take you to them when you are ready to order. The picture of each plant, with the name of the product in the center that accompanies the description, is also a “link”, and if you click on the name it will take you to that product’s location in the e-store as well.
5. The promotional pricing cannot be combined with any other discount you may qualify for on these ten items (for example, our 10% discount for locals), however if you wish to include other regularly priced items in your order, just enter your regular discount code, and it will be applied to the other, non-promotional products.
6. Please remember, these promotions result in lots of orders in a short amount of time, so we appreciate your patience, as it may take considerably longer than usual to process and ship promotional orders. If you have not received notice by email that your order has shipped by Friday, May 29th, please contact us so we can research the status of your order.
7. Important! If you experience any problems placing your order during the promotion, let me know via the website Contact Us form, or email me at [email protected] explaining the issue. If we can’t get back to you until after the promotion, we will still honor the promotional pricing if you have contacted us during the promotional period.
There may be some products in the Promotion you have never heard of…this is a great opportunity to try something you have not used before. As always, we will highlight the healing properties of each product; for your broader information, cultural and spiritual aspects of these beautiful offerings will be noted, as well.

Eucalyptus, True Eucalyptus radiata
A cornerstone of any apothecary, this tall evergreen is a powerful purifying force known for its crisp, camphorous aroma that immediately opens the senses.
As someone who enjoys long hikes with my puppy, I tend to come home sore! My favorite go-to oil is Eucalyptus True. It relaxes my sore muscles and eases my allergies. I recommend it for any of my fellow outdoor enthusiasts! ~Cristina McCartney, WOTE Marketing Associate
Medicinal Benefits: Primarily used as a potent decongestant and expectorant, it helps clear respiratory pathways, thin mucus, and alleviate symptoms of colds, flu, and sinusitis.
Emotional & Spiritual Benefits: It is a revitalizing essence that clears mental fatigue and brings stimulation and inspiration to the spirit.
Historical Significance: Traditionally used by Indigenous Australians for its antiseptic properties to heal wounds and infections, it was also planted globally to transform malarial swampy regions into habitable land.
Retail Price: 15 ml $29; 120 ml $203
Himalayan Soti (Wild) Cymbopogon sp.
Distilled from the flowering tops of wild, Nepalese lemongrass growing in the country’s high-altitude areas, Himalayan Soti offers the “magic mystical clarity of high mountain air” to clear stagnant energy. This plant is distilled in the “old way”…the flowering tops instead of just the stems and leaves…because the non-commercial, artisan distillers say that the flowering tops carry the plant’s “breath” or “spirit”. This aligns beautifully with this special oil’s sacred purifying properties.
Put on the “full body armor” of Himalayan Soti and you can do ANYTHING! ~Susie Chandler, WOTE Sacred Pourer
Medicinal Benefits: Acts as a natural tonic for mental and emotional exhaustion and provides respiratory relief for symptoms of asthma and coughs.
Emotional & Spiritual: Known as a “Green Ray Healer,” it is used for aura cleansing and strengthening, helping to restore balance during times of intense stress or burnout.

Retail Price: 15 ml $29; 120 ml $203

Lavandin Grosso (Biodynamic) Lavandula x intermedia ‘Grosso’
A robust, high-yielding hybrid, Grosso is a reliable favorite for its rich, sweetly camphorous scent and remarkably high vibrational frequency.
What a special, special oil this is….so alive, so uplifting. Lavandins, as a rule, are beautiful oils to experience, but when one is bio-dynamically crafted by an artisan farmer in California…there is a incredible energy to complement the amazing aroma. When our biodynamic source in France changed ownership/cultivation methods, we lost a reliable source of these specially-farmed oils. I was thrilled to find this source…in the US! This oil offers all of the usual benefits of Lavandin, blessed with the magic of biodynamic farming principles. It doesn’t get better than this! ~Audre Gutierrez, WOTE Owner
Medicinal Benefits: Highly antibacterial and analgesic, it is an excellent choice for soothing burns, bruises, muscle pain, and respiratory congestion.
Emotional & Spiritual: Promotes deep, restorative sleep and quiets a racing mind, bringing a profound sense of harmony and tranquility.
Historical Significance: Developed in the 1970s by French grower Pierre Grosso, it revolutionized lavender production by providing a hardy, high-yielding alternative to true lavender.
Retail Price: 5 ml $19; 15 ml $50; 120 ml $350
Linaloe Wood Bursera delpechiana
A sweet, woody essence similar to Rosewood, Linaloe Wood is a nurturing essence that provides a protective shield for the energy field.
Linaloe Wood has helped me come back to myself in real tangible ways – slowing my breath, easing the tension I didn’t realize I was holding and giving me the clarity to choose what is true for me. It’s become a steady companion in nurturing the parts of myself that feel most honest. ~Alissa Smith, WOTE Operations Associate
Medicinal Benefits: This anti-inflammatory ally supports skin regeneration, diminishes wrinkles, and offers relief for sinus congestion.
Emotional & Spiritual: Cherished as an emotional enhancer and aphrodisiac, it brings a warm, joyful energy that facilitates “cosmic protection” to grow in divine love.
Historical Significance: Native to Mexico, the tree was known as Xochicopalli in Mesoamerica and was used as sacred incense long before the Spanish gave it the name “Linaloe”.
Retail Price: 15 ml $33; 120 ml $231

Marjoram Sweet Origanum majorana
A warm, herbaceous “rest and digest” essence, Sweet Marjoram is a reliable comfort for the autonomic nervous system.
One of my favorite essential oils for bedtime is Sweet Marjoram. Not only is her fragrance heavenly, but she also takes away the troubles of my day and calms me down for a restful night’s sleep. ~Tara Sky, WOTE Retail Associate
Medicinal Benefits: Acts as a vasodilator to improve circulation and is widely used to ease intestinal spasms, menstrual cramps, and joint pain. It is also excellent for soothing tight or cramped muscles.
Emotional & Spiritual: Reduces overthinking and emotional tension; it was traditionally used to help one cope with grief and find peace after loss.
Historical Significance: Greeks and Romans honored Marjoram as a symbol of happiness and longevity, often crowning young couples with it at weddings.
Retail Price: 15 ml $36; 120 ml $252
Orange Petitgrain Citrus aurantium
Distilled from the leaves and twigs of the bitter orange tree, Petitgrain is a sophisticated, woody-floral essence that harmonizes its citrus brightness and earthy depth.
I love Orange Petitgrain because it brings me balance when my emotions feel scattered, heightened, or fragile…and it smells so good! ~ Cynthia Olivera, WOTE Educational Director
Medicinal Benefits: A powerful nervine and antispasmodic, it helps support the cardiovascular and digestive systems while toning oily or blemish-prone skin.
Emotional & Spiritual: Known for its protective qualities against mental anguish, it helps release anger and panic, promoting higher levels of consciousness.
Historical Significance: Its name comes from the French for “little grains,” as it was originally extracted from small, unripe green fruits; it was a key ingredient in the famous 18th-century “Eau de Cologne”.
Retail Price: 15 ml $33; 120 ml $231

Peppermint, India (Organic) Mentha piperita
Cultivated in the fertile fields of India, this variety is softer and more nuanced than harsher peppermints, offering a cooling, smooth wake-up call for the senses.
Peppermint is my go-to for a natural energy boost, especially during long drives. A quick inhale or a touch on the neck and wrists helps me stay alert—and it’s a trusted favorite for easing headaches. ~Taylor, WOTE Office Administrator
Medicinal Benefits: A trusted remedy for digestive discomfort and tension headaches, it also provides cooling relief for muscle pain and skin inflammation.
Emotional & Spiritual: Sharpens focus and dispels mental fog; it is exceptionally cooling for a quick temper, restoring calm when emotions run high.
Spiritually, Peppermint has a long history (Greek, Middle Eastern and European folk traditions) of being used to:
- Cut through illusion
- Dispel confusion
- Sharpen intuition
- Reveal the “next right step”
Peppermint offers a pause at key points in decision-making, suggesting “look again…you may have missed something” .
Historical Significance: Mentioned in ancient Egyptian medical texts dating to 1550 BC, peppermint has been used for gastrointestinal disorders across cultures for millennia.
Retail Price: 15 ml $30; 120 ml $210
Sage, True Salvia officinalis
Known as the “Wise Herb” or “The Healer,” True Sage is a powerful panacea that bridges ancient tradition and modern wellness.
Sage has calming and grounding benefits. And for women of menopause age, it helps with hot flashes and night sweats. This is one of my tried & true essential essences. ~Marilyn Abel, WOTE Office Associate
Medicinal Benefits: A vital support for hormonal balance , it also serves as a neuroprotective brain tonic and a purifying gargle for sore throats.
Emotional & Spiritual: Helps process knowledge into wisdom and clears negative energy to usher in a sense of fresh perspective.
Historical Significance: Its name comes from the Latin salvere (“to be whole” or “to be healthy”), and it was considered a sacred herb of immortality by the Romans and Greeks.
Retail Price: 15 ml $32; 120 ml $224

Red Raspberry Seed Oil Rubus idaeus
This nutrient-rich oil is a “hidden gem” of skincare, providing a natural barrier to lock in moisture and protect against environmental stressors.
Wonderful for rejuvenating the skin! Love the silky texture that it is light weight, yet deeply hydrating. It leaves your skin feeling supple and radiant. It is great for a soothing massage and as a sunscreen. ~Maija Wright, WOTE Office Associate
Medicinal Benefits: High in vitamins A and E and essential fatty acids, it calms inflammation and offers a layer of protection against UV damage as an effective natural sunscreen.

Cucumber Seed Hydrolat Cucumis sativus
A premier hydration elixir, this hydrolat provides a burst of moisture that revitalizes tired, dull, or irritated skin. Our producer uses fresh plant material that not only allows capture of all the volatiles, but most importantly, the cellular water from the living plant. It is this cellular water, imbued with nourishing minerals and fatty acids, that make it dynamic and vibrant compared to using dried material, which results in the loss of important skin-refreshing and aromatic molecules.
Cucumber Hydrolat is a wonderful friend for the skin and eyes, especially in the summer months. It’s great for soothing sunburn and minor skin irritations. ~Bronlin Chandler, WOTE Sacred Pourer
Medicinal Benefits: Its anti-inflammatory properties actively calm redness and sensitivity, making it an essential facial toner or after-sun spritz to lock in moisture and refine pores.
Emotional & Spiritual: The fresh, crisp aroma uplifts the senses and fosters a sense of security, helping to relieve worry and overthinking.
Historical Significance: Cucumber seeds have long been important in ancient healing traditions for their ability to help the body work in harmony and heal naturally from within.
Retail price: 120 ml $37; 500ml $141
