The process of distilling essential oil is an initiatory journey in the alchemical realm. Through the still, the plants are exalted into a new form then recondensed back to this earthly plane. By using nutrient-dense plant matter, grown in our garden or wild harvested, Enki’s aromatic offering can provide a connection to nature and promote a sense of mental and emotional well-being. Enki’s intentional and alchemical approach can be viewed as a spiritual and artistic endeavour that elevates the senses and connects us to the natural world, to our home.\u003c\/p\u003e","published_at":"2023-04-26T15:41:47+10:00","sort_order":"alpha-asc","template_suffix":"aromatic-collection","disjunctive":true,"rules":[{"column":"type","relation":"equals","condition":"Essential Oil"}],"published_scope":"global","image":{"created_at":"2023-05-21T10:57:56+10:00","alt":"Aromatics","width":1024,"height":683,"src":"\/\/enki.au\/cdn\/shop\/collections\/DSC02382.jpg?v=1693049580"}}]
Native to the Australian landscape, Buddha Wood (Eremophila mithellii) is considered a rare and sustainable essential oil for those looking for sandalwood alternatives (1,2). Traditionally used by the Indigenous community of Australia (3), we seek permission before harvesting the beautiful Buddha Wood shrubs in Northern NSW to ensure care and intention is honoured from the beginning of the extraction process.
With earthy / smokey notes and hints of floral, Buddha Wood is a fixative, meaning that it’s aromatic qualities transform when applied to the skin with a carrier oil (1).
Considered as grounding and balancing in aromatherapy (1,2), the essential oil is thick and deep in amber tones. A powerful aroma during meditative practice to remain present and in the body, promoting relaxation to the mind, body and spirit (1).
100% of essential and infused oils extracted in-house.
Prepared and packaged in biophotonic violet glass for UV protection and longevity of potency.
Curated in our alchemical lab with intention and clarity.
