Rivers Natural Lymphatic Body Oil

RIVERS is a supportive massage oil for the lymph system and movement of the vital waters of the body. Ocotillo, a potent desert dweller, is the star in this oil.  The skyward reaching branches are suggestive of movement of water, similar to the venous and lymph movement of our bodies.  Ocotillo has a strong effect on the emotional and physical waters and encourages movement of "stuck" energy, specifically in the pelvis.

Ideal for use with a Gua Sha tool or get both here.

• Concentrated moisture: Moisturizing with oils has so many benefits. Lotions are primarily water, they glide on smoothly, but there is little moisturizing power to them. They require a preservative. Using only oils is far more nourishing and natural for the skin, and if applied while skin is damp, the oils will absorb quickly and evenly.

  Ocotillo: Support for healthy lymph function and promoting movement, especially in the pelvic region. "Physically, in the pelvic region, ocotillo helps clear prostatitis, hot, protruding, and painful hemorrhoids, and stagnant liver qi, which can manifest as delayed, heavy, or painful periods and poor, sluggish digestion." from backwaterbotanics.  And as beautifully described by Rebecca Altman, "Ocotillo, at the core of its action, moves stagnation… Much like its branches come together and concentrate at its base, ocotillo's effect tends to go to the root of the problem, and spread out from there. As a result ocotillo's effects are incredibly broad-reaching."
