Gaea's Garden - The Healing Power of Summer Days, Distilled into a Bottle

We’ve harvested summer's sacred botanicals so that you can enjoy Braïdo’s herbal healing intelligence throughout the entire year.

Gaea’s Garden is your herbal “permission slip” for indulgent self love. And as the darker season draws nearer, its very scent beckons you to invest in your own wellbeing by reminding you of summer’s richness.

Claim your right to feel grounded in your own skin

When you spread this rich and complex oil over your face and body, you're giving your nervous system permission to remember what safety feels like; like the warmth of sun kissed earth gently holding your body — solid, calming, reliable.

This is why it works

Neuroscience shows that botanical compounds activate the same brain receptors as pharmaceutical treatments, because the intelligence of plants has evolved a highly refined receptor systems over 140 million years ago which directly correspond with human neurological pathways.

For example, by massaging areas of tension with Gaea’s Garden you will naturally release the “feel good-hormone” oxytocin — your body's own "calm and connect" system, leaving you feeling:

Less anxious and more present
Ready for deep sleep
More easily connected to the people you love
Trustful of your own body

The inherent herbal intelligence of Gaea’s Garden can be traced back to its individual herbs and their properties:

Mandarin: lifts your mood and helps you communicate more openly
Neroli: melts tension and helps you feel safe in your body
Roman Chamomile: releases that which doesn’t support you
Lavender: calms your racing mind
Camellia Oil: gives you visibly healthier, more radiant skin

We know, from our own experience and from the testimonials of trusted customers, that these herbs have the power to transform a sometimes inattentive beauty routine into ritual moments that you’ll long for.

Micro Rituals — Here’s how:

1. Pump Gaea’s Garden into the palms of your hands. Then warm the oil by rubbing them together. Lastly, making “a cup” with both hands.

2. Close your eyes and bring your cupped hands to your face. Deeply inhale as many times as you like. You can silently vibrate a mantra (see below) while inhaling. Setting your intention for the day or guiding you towards a night of restorative deep sleep.

3. On dry skin, or (even better), on slightly damp and warm skin
after a bath or shower, gently smooth Gaea’s Garden all over your body (and/or face, if you like). Enjoy its gentle scent, working its magic on your nervous system, (and those around you), throughout the day or night.
