Sweet Digestion Belly Butter

Have you ever experienced a tight, uncomfortable belly after eating cold foods (like ice cream) in winter? Cardamom essential oil is so helpful for that . . . and any time you feel bloated because you’ve eaten a bit too much.

In Aromatherapy for Healing the Spirit, Gabriel Mojay says Cardamom essential oil is “. . . a general tonic of the body’s vital energy, and its principle use lies in the treatment of digestive complaints . . .”

One of my favorite ways to use it is in a light body butter that you can rub on your belly and low back. Here’s a blend you can use before or after eating (or both!).

Ingredients
  • 3 Ounces
    (84 gm) Babassu oil
  • 1/2 Ounce
    (14 gm) Beeswax
  • 15 Drops
    Cardamom Oil
  • 10 Drops
    Roman Chamomile Oil
