Oum Oil
3.4 oz. | handmade in ceremony | organic | botanical infused.
An infusion of ancestral plants that tend to the skin with profound + gentle nourishment. May these plants pull you into a deep connection with the energies of above (Frankincense), below (Cedar), + within (Rose) while tending to your skin with their ancient healing properties. Habibi.
Oum means mother in Arabic - and was created as an ode to my motherland of the SWANA region.
Essence: Sitting on the cedar forest floor, your back leaned on the trunk of an Ancient Cedar tree. Frankincense smoke carries up the mountain from the village below, and the smell of Rose perfume lingers on the shoulder of your blouse. Remembrances of your ancestors, of home, of love. Here you feel deeply connected to the earth below, spirit above, and the center of your heart. Here you are anchored in your truth, of where you come from and where you are going.

I feel my ancestors through these plants - my mother’s family from the lands of Lebanon. The strong Cedar Trees that watched over them and held space, the gust of Frankincense smoke in their sacred spaces, the roses they tended to in their gardens and gave to their loved ones….. and thus this oil was created. Chances are, you can feel your ancestors through one or all of these plants too, no matter what culture you are from.
Invitation For Ritual Use
I invite you to connect to your oil, especially the first time using it. Place two dropper fulls of oil in the palm of your hand. Gently rub your hands together and bring them to cup your nose. Take a few deep breaths - inhale the scent of the plants, calling them in, beginning to commune. Sink into surrender.
My oils are made in ceremony, and are so special when used in ceremony, too.
