The Power of the Olfactory
Our sense of smell, the olfactory, is one of the most highly effective ways to ground, neutralize, and re-calibrate. Most animal species on this planet rely heavily on their olfactory for purposes of foraging, defence, sense, travel, taste, protection, and enjoyment. As a chemosensory system, the ability to smell comes from specialized sensory cells which aim to ensure the highest quality of life.
Because scent cells are renewed every 30 to 60 days, the decreased ability to identify scents may predict the initial shut down of the biological system and can predict major illnesses or even death. In addition, your sense of smell is a chemodetection - detecting chemicals related to smell or taste - detecting the chemical compounds of the environment. In other words, the phrases "I can smell danger," or "I can smell fear" is totally right on!
A major benefit to enjoying Esoteric Hawaiian Fern/Botanical Medicine, such as Wild Oils, is as a means to clear and re-calibrate the brain. If someone suggest they are in total peace chances are they are not being completely honest. In this day and age, being exposed to the Culture of Control, it is impossible not to telepathically receive elements of violence and distress. The individual self is incredibly vulnerable to the conditions of the collective. Applying oils of Pōhala, brewing deliciously medicinal Fern Tea, spraying your space or body with luscious Fern or Maile spray, or allowing our powerful tinctures to rest in your mouth for a minute or so all have the ability to re-calibrate the perceived violence and distress that may distract you from living the most healthy and enjoyable life possible. Under all this violence and distortion is your very essence waiting to be aknowledged and accessed so that you may realize your greatest potential!
