A nourishing and stress relieving ritual
It’s holiday time and now as wonderful as the holidays are, they’re often accompanied with stress. It’s a time of increased expectations and engagements which can be depleting and overwhelming. In these darker winter months, we find ourselves wanting to hibernate but we’re left feeling spread too thin. Not to mention the family gatherings which can be triggering to say the least.
When we’re experiencing stress (emotional, psychological, environmental, nutritional, physical) our bodies can’t heal. So if you’re actively trying to heal any imbalance or dis-ease managing stress will be incredibly important.
If you’ve been following this work than you know that the breasts are incredibly sensitive to our emotional state and hold on to our emotions. One of the most important things we can do at the end of every day, is to release these emotions and stress. Stress accumulates and over time can contribute to many imbalances. It reduces important vitamins and minerals which are key in maintaining homeostasis and support the body in it’s healing journey.
This breast mask is designed to help you to relax and return to a calm and peaceful state.

Breast Mask Formula
Ingredients
St John’s Wort oil
Ylang Ylang essential oil
Oak Bach Flower Remedy (2 drops)
German Chamomile powder
Oatstraw powder
Lemon Balm powder
Directions
Depending on your chest size you’ll need to adjust measurements accordingly.
Let the ingredients speak to and guide you. Start with smaller amounts (1/2 tsp + ). I recommend intuitively combining the ingredients in quantities that feel right for you and will completely cover your chest area.
Apply to breasts, chest area up to collarbone and underneath armpits.
Wrap your chest with the seaweed sheets on top your mask to add extra moisture and to help detoxify tissue.
Visualize the the mask binding to the toxins and eliminating them via the lymph.
Apply your favorite breast oil afterwards and follow with a breast massage to clear toxins and stagnant energy.
~ I like to use a spice/coffee grinder to turn the dried herbs into a powder.
