Seasonal Apothecary

May 23, 2019 / by Katie Vie / Leave a Comment

Essential oils are super popular these days.

They’ve been super popular with me for 22 years.

I learned Aromatherapy in massage therapy school in 1997. My classmates and I would drive out into the New Mexico desert to camp. We’d crawl into the back of my pick up truck that had a camper top and pass around our little bottles of essential oils. 

This two-decade devotion has given me a unique perspective on how to use essential oils called Mystical Aromatherapy.

To formulate The Tantrika anointing oil, I focused on aromatic oils derived from Flowers and Resins.

I call this approach “Mystical Aromatherapy“– designing blends for the spirit inspired by plant archetypes.

Flower-derived oils, attars, and absolutes will put your in touch with your innate ability to bloom: attracting what you want, Yin medicine, and an ease of allowing yourself to be seen or detected.

Flower oils include Rose Otto, Jasmine, and Neroli.

Resin oils will remind you of your innate ability to heal yourself: confidence to withstand injury, and the ability to focus on the beauty that comes from healing instead of the wounding.

Resin oils include Frankincense, Myrrh, and Balsam.

Combining Flowers and Resins for The Tantrika produced an anointing oil that grounds you through strength & confident healing so that you can bloom and attract your heart’s desire.


 My favorite suppliers for oils are:
Cathy’s Attars
Essential Aura
Eden Botanicals
Mountain Rose Herbs
