For Breath That Was Never Released​

There were travelers who breathed quietly - too quietly.
They held their breath when the road grew tense, when decisions felt heavy, or when grief was too large for words. This balm was made for them.

Neroli softens emotional tension in the chest.
Angelica root loosens the “held breath” behind the ribs.
A trace of myrrh settles panic and grounds the lungs.

This balm was warmed between palms, then pressed onto the chest - a reminder to exhale fully, to soften, and to let breath be felt again.

It was said that after applying it, people spoke more slowly… and more honestly.

​

Ingredients (makes 30 ml - one small jar)

• 15 ml Olive Oil (or Almond Oil)
  Substitute: sesame oil for deeper chest warmth

• 5 g Beeswax Pastilles
  (raw chunk option - see note below)

• 3 drops Neroli Essential Oil
  Softens tension in breath and emotions

• 2 drops Angelica Essential Oil
  Loosens held breath and anxiety stored in the rib cage

• 1 drop Myrrh Essential Oil
  Stabilizing for panic and chest tightness

• Optional

  • 1 drop Lavender Essential Oil (if sleep is also disturbed)

 

Method

1. Combine olive oil and beeswax in a heat-safe cup.

2. Warm gently over simmering water until melted. Do not boil.

3. Remove from heat and add neroli, angelica, and myrrh.

4. Stir gently with a wooden stick or spoon.

5. Pour into a small jar and let cool fully before sealing.

​

Beeswax Note (Pellets vs. Raw Chunk)

• Pellets (pastilles): use 5 gm

• Raw chunks: measure a small walnut-sized piece, or grate

• Raw beeswax produces a balm with a firmer, ancient-scented texture

To make balm softer, reduce beeswax to 4 gm
To make it firmer, increase beeswax to 6 gm

​

How to Use

• Rub a small amount between palms to warm.
• Press hands onto upper chest and collarbones, not rubbing hard - the goal is calming, not force.
• Breathe in deeply through the nose, exhale slowly through the mouth.
• Use before sleep, before crying, or during anxiety.
• Ideal for people who never let themselves fully exhale.

​

Shelf Life

• 6-12 months
Store tightly sealed, away from sunlight or high heat.

Energetic Vow

"May breath return without fear, and may softness come without surrender."
