This handcrafted, moonlight-infused, reiki-charged healing is oil made in the old way for fast, effective relief of joint pain. My lemon-and-olive oil infusions is derived from a formula that has been traditionally used for treating joint pain. This formula adds activating turmeric and ginger (for circulation), soothing lavender, and devil's claw for inflammation and pain.

BOTTLE ART MAGIC: The image on the bottle is that of Ollie Leola Davis, the matriarch of my paternal family, who is known for being nurturing and supportive. The Moon is a symbol for the mystery, the subconscious, the veil and the thing that connects us to light, even in the darkness. The moon connects us to spirit (imagine looking into the full moon on a clear night sky). It has a connection to women and the element water.
 
PROCESS: Small-batch herbal mixing and solar infusion are done over the course of 30 days. Daily physical agitation and reiki-energy infusion are the basis for a creative ritual which intends to align the user with the healing power of nature. 
 
INGREDIENTS: 
Olive Oil: The olive tree grows in very hot climates. It's oil is full of healthy fats and antioxidants that form the basis for the lubrication and hydration of the joint. 
Lemon Peels:  The main active ingredient in this oil, lemon peels are traditionally used to treat inflammation in the joints. 
Thyme Leaves:  Traditionally made into a tea to internally treat bouts of arthritis, thyme leaves are essential to this formula. Thyme is also an antimicrobial and helps to maintain purity of the product. 
Lavender Flowers:  Lavender is anti-inflammatory calming. Even it's aroma helps you to become relaxed into healing. 
Turmeric Root:  Turmeric contains 
curcumin, a chemical found in nature that is an antioxidant and anti-inflammatory. It assists with reducing arthritic pain. 
Devil's Claw Root: Devil's Claw has been shown in resent literature to contribute significantly to decreased symptoms, including pain.
Ginger Root: Ginger is hot! It warms, and moves the blood, clearing out lactic acid (from overworked muscles) and other toxins from the joints and tissues.
 
HOW TO USE: Apply a dime-size amount to the affected joint and rub in. Optional: wrap with a compression gauze for 20 minutes and rest. Remove the gauze, but leave the oil on the skin. The oil is designed to work best at night and during the full moon.
