Lunar Tide Elemental Bath Soak | Water Element

There is a kind of emotional weight that the mind cannot resolve on its own. It sits in the chest, in the throat, in the belly, not as a thought, but as a pressure. The kind that has been there long enough you have stopped noticing it.

Lunar Tide was formulated for what water knows how to move.

This is a water-element soak designed for deep parasympathetic rest: the body's shift into its "rest and restore" state, and for opening the intuitive, dreaming channel that lives just below the surface of an exhausted nervous system.

• Mugwort: a traditional visionary herb used across ceremonial traditions, brings clarity to the dream-adjacent space between waking and sleep.
• Passionflower: one of the most respected nervines in botanical medicine, softens the body's held tension without sedation. 
• Blue Cornflower Petals: bring a quiet visual beauty and a third-eye association in the water.
• Myrrh, frankincense, lavender, and bergamot essential oils: sacred, contemplative, and rich, offering the kind of scent that slows the breath without asking it to.

The Alchemy

• The Mineral Base: Pharmaceutical-grade magnesium chloride flakes for transdermal magnesium absorption and nervous system relaxation. Dead Sea salt for skin-softening mineral content. Pink Himalayan salt for trace minerals. Dendritic salt as the essential oil carrier.
• The Botanicals: Artemisia Vulgaris (Mugwort) Herb: a visionary ceremonial plant traditionally used to support dream clarity and the liminal space between states of consciousness. Passiflora Incarnata (Passionflower) Aerial Parts: a classical nervine that softens the body's braced tension and supports deep, unhurried calm. Centaurea Cyanus (Blue Cornflower) Petals: delicate, visually striking in the water, and traditionally associated with third-eye and intuitive perception.
• The Accord: Commiphora Myrrha (Myrrh) Oil for deep, grounding, resinous sacred presence. Boswellia Serrata (Frankincense) Oil: elevating, contemplative, and clarifying without stimulation. Lavandula Angustifolia (Lavender) Oil for its calming, dreamlike quality and its deep nervous system familiarity. Citrus Bergamia (Bergamot) FCF Oil: a furocoumarin-free bergamot that brings bright, uplifting citrus balance to the depth of the accord without photosensitivity risk.

The Ritual

Fill the muslin bag with 1/2 to 1 cup of the soak and hang it beneath the faucet as your bath fills. Let the water do the drawing out. Once the bath is ready, settle in. Place one hand on your chest. Breathe toward your own palm. Let the warmth of the water and the weight of the accord do what the mind cannot, simply hold what is there.

This soak is especially suited to the Full Moon and Waning Moon: the part of the lunar cycle designed for release, rest, and letting what is ready to go, go.

Always use the included muslin bag. Do not add loose botanicals directly to the tub.
