when / where you bring them out
and how you work with them

~ CLAREIA ~
One of my favorite companies! Their luminous liquid light spray is amaaaaazing. They also have lots of other ethically sourced, high quality plants and medicines.

My favorite source for copal sticks.

This is a pretty great place to source high quality and affordable essential oils. Off topic, but their breast cream is my all time favorite as well :)

*** Most hydrosols and sprays I have, I have found along my journey and travel at different little health / herbal shops, and from friends who make them. So I don't have many specific sources to share. Often you can find great sprays made by various small companies and local folks at magic or herbal shops. Even little boutique shops and co-op or natural food stores, and farmers markets are great places to look.
