The meaning behind the name illuminate the sea for this herbal infused oil was inspired by the Illuminated sea acupuncture point that I discovered when practicing qi gong.

The point signifies the moonlight dancing on the vastness of the ocean. What does this image evoke within you? What does it allow you to access? It is a gateway into tapping into the powerful source of energy of water. Massaging the point allows us to embody water. Letting the energy flow. Allowing us to work though our fears by becoming aware of our inner power and wisdom like it has no bounds.

The moon represents yin energy and our essential nature that is unformed, creative and full of possibility. You may look out at the light on the water and feel the dance between certainty and uncertainty. The illuminated sea invites us to trust who we are through times of transition with trust and certainty.

The illuminated sea point is part of the kidney meridian which is connected to the liver system because the wood element is nourished by water. Maintaining harmony with our vitality and regulating the flow of chi and energy.

Cottonwood and mugwort paired together create a similar symbiosis. Stimulating, nourishing and relieving our internal energy through applying herbs directly on the skin. Or even better through the power of water during a nice bath. Increasing blood flow, reducing inflammation, activating the central nervous system and activating the bodies pain relieving mechanisms to help us find healing through the elemental makeup of nature.
