Hola & Aloha Ritual Body Sample/Travel Pack

MEDICINE ALLIES

All medicine work relies on relationships. All of the Hola & Aloha products are inspired by or include cacao in its many forms, but also include many other medicine allies, including plants and minerals, as well as imagery to support your practice. Here are several of the main allies we work with in these products...

CACAO BUTTER

BENEFITS for skin: In addition to being protective and nourishing for skin, similar to cacao husks, the butter is loaded with antioxidants, can help fight the damage caused by free radicals, and can reduce inflammation. Can reduce sign of wrinkles, UV damage and more.

BENEFITS for energy: nourishing, loving, grounding, protective, centering, and more, depending on how it is worked with by a practitioner/maker & you when you use it. 

SALTS

We use as a base HAWAIIAN sea salt and combine it with others for maximum benefits.

BENEFITS for skin: Salt absorbs dirt, grime, and toxins and cleanses your skin's pores deeply. Salt's mineral content helps restore the protective barrier in skin and helps it hold hydration.

BENEFITS for energy: from clearing energy, breakthrough to restoration, to spiritual protection, fortification, and more.

CORNMEAL

BENEFITS for skin: Cornmeal is a gentle exfoliant that can remove dead skin cells, oil, and product build-up. Its anti-inflammatory properties can soothe skin irritations and also help calm redness and promote a more even skin tone. Rich in antioxidants, including vitamins B, C, and E, it protects the skin from free radical damage and signs of aging and more.

BENEFITS for energy: As a medicina, it is nurturing, grounding, life giving and affirming, and connected to star medicine as well.
