Aurum Lavender Rose Cream and Massage Oils for Wellness

We live in challenging times, and it’s often difficult to step away from stress and stay in touch with our inner voice. Fear and anxiety often surround illness and epidemics, and both emotions can affect the immune system. Certain botanicals are useful for helping us to stay calm and centered and be less susceptible to contagious diseases.

Aurum Lavender Rose cream is a formula that contains homeopathic potencies of horse chestnut, horsetail, St. Johns wort, gold and myrrh. It also contains peat extract, lavender oil, geranium oil, rose oil and frankincense in a nongreasy cream or oil base.

The cream can can be applied over the heart and chest area twice daily, although the oil form may be used for general whole body massage at any time. It provides a calming, protective buffer when we feel stressed or oversensitive to the environment in body or soul and promotes balance and harmony in situations of stress and anxiety or hypersensitivity. People with heart ailments may also find it very helpful.

The peat extract provides a mantle of warmth and protection around the body, strengthening the skin to act as a permeable border between our inner life and outer world. The formation of peat in nature occurs in bogs where generations of plants grow and subside over long periods of time, but do not deteriorate completely. The plants maintain a spongy, living layer below the surface that is preserved indefinitely. Dried peat has inherent warmth and is used as a fuel like firewood in Ireland, as well as for insulation. The fresh peat is processed and includes it for its warming, buffering qualities.

The three wise men brought gifts of gold, frankincense and myrrh. Gold is a sun-like precious metal, related to the powers of clear, noble thought. Frankincense is a balsamic, milky resin obtained from the bark of a tropical, feather-leafed and fragrant tree. Since ancient times, it has been used as incense to enable the soul to expand and enter a higher spiritual condition. Myrrh is a bitter resin obtained from the Middle-Eastern commiphora bush, which is dried into crystal-like clumps and used to treat wounds or preserve physical forms. Together, these three substances support the healthy balance of thinking, feeling and will that we experience as well-being.

Lavender oil comes from the purple flowers grown in southern France, well-known for their calming, nerve-soothing, embracing fragrance. Rose oil is the most costly of essential oils because it takes 3,500 pounds of rose flowers to make one pound of rose oil. The rose has accompanied humanity since ancient times with a special relationship to the heart. The rose also shows remarkable balance between the three parts of the bush: strong, deep roots, abundant, well-developed foliage and the incomparable blossoms. All three aspects are strongly developed, yet in harmonious balance.

The horse chestnut tree prefers to grow in moist soils, where it takes up large quantities of water. It has a relationship to our liver, which is the organ of fluid balance. By contrast, the horsetail plant, although also preferring moist soil, is a dry, archaic plant composed of up to 70 percent silica, the same element that forms the quartz crystal. Horse chestnut seeds and horsetail herb are added to balance the processes of water and light in the body.
