Inspired by the anti-mafia slogan, Vedo, Sento, Parlo—I see, I hear, I speak—and the spirit behind it. A spirit that is embodied around the Mediterranean basin against the numerous exploitive and corrupt forces. This oil is made with three plants all native to the Mediterranean basin that also embody this spirit and offer us support in embodying the courage, rebelliousness, and fortitude to keep fighting for each other.

Made with Rosemary, Atlas Cedar, and Aleppo Pine—these three ancient evergreens from the Mediterranean embody clear sight, memory, and resilience. Together these plants support circulation, soothe our nervous system, help us remain alert, with their both relaxing and invigorating aromas and lends potent antioxidant and antimicrobial action. When massaged into our largest organ, they serve as a protective layer—a first layer of defense against unwanted energies and pathogens—a reminder you are never alone.

The consequences of the mafia aren’t contained to their country of origin—they are global—as are the cultural and environmental factors which bring about and foster them. Factors rooted in our attitudes on and proclivities toward greed, power, violence, exploitation—deeply rooted problems which command us to ignore what we see and hear and take others word for it, keep our mouths shut, continue on with business as usual. We must confront this if we as a species want to continue, it is way is antithetical to life and ultimately serving no one, not even those who benefit from it in the short term. Vedo Sento Parlo is a declaration to no longer betray your own senses and moral compass in order to protect those who exploit you and your neighbors.

Our herbal oils are made by infusing whole plant material into oil using the most effective methods for each plant, rather than substituting this with the use of essential oils as is commonly done today. This results in true herbal oils that carry the full spectrum of oil soluble constituents the plants offer, rather than just their concentrated volatile oils. They embody and encompass the medicine, spirit, and natural scent of the plant while being gentle and effective for everyone/ everywhere on your body—yes, including face!

Applying herbal oil to our bodies is a gift for out past, present, and future self. It supports our musculoskeletal and nervous system health and promotes circulation, lymph drainage, softer and stronger skin. It relaxes our muscles, stimulates internal organs, helps relieve pain, and increases our mobility. Taking that time with ourselves and giving attention to our whole body clears the mind, enhances our quality of sleep, and life. To get the most out of this practice, I suggest applying the oil after bathing while your skin is still damp, and to use in conjunction with a hydrosol to really lock in moisture and add hydration.
