Health and Healing Wash

The Health and Healing House Wash is a traditional blend used to energetically cleanse your space and encourage well-being. To make this wash, gather the following ingredients:

  • 2 parts sage
  • 2 parts thyme
  • 2 parts rosemary
  • 1 part salt
  • 1 part dill
  • a handful of shredded coconut
  • a handful of pine needles, if available

Start by placing the sage, thyme, and rosemary in a large bowl. These herbs are valued for their purifying and protective qualities, which can help clear away negative energy and support health.

Next, add the salt and dill. Salt is commonly used for cleansing, while dill is thought to attract positive energy and aid healing.

Add the shredded coconut to introduce a gentle, nurturing element to the blend. If you have pine needles, include them for their fresh scent and their traditional link to renewal and resilience.

Carefully pour boiling water over the herb mixture. Allow it to steep for at least 20 minutes so the herbs can release their beneficial properties. Once the mixture has cooled, strain the liquid into a clean container and discard the solids.

To use the wash, dip a clean cloth into the liquid and gently wipe down doorways, windowsills, and other entry points in your home. This process is intended to create a protective barrier and welcome healing energy.

For optimal results, choose a quiet time to perform this cleansing and focus on your intention. It is recommended to test the wash on a small area first to ensure it does not damage surfaces.

By following these steps, you can prepare a Health and Healing House Wash that helps maintain a harmonious and revitalized home environment.
