Sweet Digestion Belly Butter
Print
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
Instructions
Prepare a “double boiler” by putting a Pyrex measuring cup in a pot ¼ full of gently boiling water. The water will heat the Pyrex and melt the ingredients in it.
Melt your beeswax in the Pyrex.
Add the babassu oil and melt.
Remove the blend from heat and add your essential oils, stirring gently.
Pour your body butter into your glass jars (one 4 oz (120 ml) glass jar or two 2 oz (60 ml) glass jars) and set them aside to cool.
