Anasazi

(Fortify)

Very little is known about this civilization, called the ancient ones, except for clues left behind.  Little is known about this blend, except it was created through inspiration, high in sesquiterpenes which aid oxygenation of cells and cellular communication. 

It has the feeling of a wilderness healer’s kit — deeply restorative, clarifying, protective, and quietly resilient—the atmosphere of cedar smoke and desert sanctuaries.
The overall effect is: physically restorative and spiritually fortifying.

Unlike blends built primarily around romance, luxury, or stimulation, this one feels functional in the highest sense.

Helps protect cells from toxins, chemicals, stress, and other harmful influences. 

Often I feel a craving for its subtle, yet powerful effect. 

Use for diffusing or dilute for anointing ~~especially the Ether Toe. 

Or use as a perfume on a diffuser pendant.
