the story:

“Relax” is the first ‘action’ and formula in our 3-step womb care program. It is important for us to relax because if we are tense, overly stressed, overwhelmed, overstimulated, or hyperactive, it becomes that much more difficult to approach health and integrate whatever healing work we do. Relax is the first step because it helps us settle our minds, hearts, and bodies enough to be able to fully perceive what healing work needs to be done, the best way to do it, and furthermore have the energy to act on that. This alcohol-free glycerite is ideal for soothing our senses and nurturing our bodies. Lemon balm and Oatstraw are in conspiracy here, working synergistically to help us pinpoint what is due to be released, all while aiding us in settling into more a serene and even-tempered energetic signature. Lemon balm can naturally relieve headaches and other aches which are likely to be experienced during the first trimester while the body is going through drastic hormonal shifts and attempting to adapt to the new flows. This is also useful for people who are not pregnant and just need to take the edge off after a stressful day. For all people, Lemon balm is helpful to the digestive system. This plant contains antispasmodic properties afforded by its essential oils and can help to relieve gassy conditions and the pains of air trapped in the system. The essential oils also make it effective upon the respiratory system which contributes to Lemon balm’s capacity for helping us to naturally clear our lungs and be able to breathe more deeply. Melissa, as Lemon balm is otherwise known, is mothering for children and helps calm fussy babies and tireless children. In Kiskeya, we give a mixture of Lemon balm and breastmilk to babies who are colicky. Oatstraw is another one for the babes and is particularly nourishing to all. This one contains a wide array of minerals, high in magnesium and calcium — also providing reinforcement to the supportive structures in our bodies, specifically the musculoskeletal system. An elder once advised this one for sadness, and I found that it works exceptionally to help mend our hearts. Grief often gets stored in our lungs and, like Lemon balm, Oatstraw can help clarify that space of any stagnant grief it is holding in the form of mucus and waters. In my practice, I have learned that when paired with tapping the point between on my chest where the thymus is (using my index and middle finger), Oatstraw tends to induce emotional purging and a subsequent feeling of lucidity, openness, and purity. It has diuretic properties which work in the kidneys and urinary region, helping to treat water retention, UTIs, kidney stones, and even associated lymphatic congestion. With their mineral richness, Oatstraw and Lemon balm also prove to help strengthen hair, nails, teeth, and bones. Throughout the world, both of these plants are revered for their supreme relaxing actions, so it is no wonder that the math of their combination equals ‘relaxation’. As we soften, unwind, open, and recline, we are able to restore ourselves from any deficiency and help remind our vessel of its self-sufficiency.
