An eternal gift to skin from Mother Nature.
 
Bringing a lush, fecund, forest of beneficial botanicals to the feminine source of creativity. When you cherish and love your yoni, you are bringing nourishment to the earth, since we all are made by and beat with the same heart. Use this Love elixir, this ambrosia, to play with your beloved or to bestow love to yourself. Rub along your limbs, and between your most intimate, delicate areas. This oil is to be used in reverence for the enjoyment of being in the realm of the senses. The harvested herbs are beneficial to a woman’s hormonal and libido strength. Kava Kava and Tulsi bring on a euphoric sense and relax the being, while Maca, schisandra, and damiana are known to enhance a woman’ hormones naturally and therefore the libido and inner fire.

March – Help to Boost Your Immune System
 
Activist Raw Mānuka Honey 850+ MGO is wildcrafted in New Zealand by bees that pollinate the native Mānuka Bush. Raw, unprocessed and produced in small batches, this honey is teeming with the life force of the hive. 850+ MGO honey is guaranteed to contain at least 850mg Methylglyoxal per kg. Packed with nutrition, plant enzymes and immune protection. Mānuka has been proven to have efficacy against antibiotic-resistant microbes, promoting its healing powers against pathogens internally and externally. When sick, it can even improve sore throats, help soothe coughs and improve common cold symptoms. Mānuka also helps people with acute sinus problems and allergies. We sometimes take a spoonful of raw Mānuka in the mornings when our hay fever begins to act up and gargle it with lightly warm salt water when our family has a sore throat. 
 
These beloved mushrooms are all grown in a small farm 100% organically and sustainably in Washington State. The mushrooms powders are all cell wall extracted for optimized bioavailability, and contain both fruiting bodies and mycelium. Although Anima Mundi loves and respects ethically wildcrafted mushrooms and herbs, they purposefully source our mushrooms from a small organic farm to impede the depletion of the wild. Particularly Chaga being in danger of extinction, we exclusively support organic farming of this precious mushroom to avoid extinction. If you can forage your own small supply (that’s awesome!) but be mindful and always leave some behind.
