POWER

'Ohi'a lehua (o-hee-a lay-hua) trees grow on the slopes of the active volcano of Kilauea on the Big Island of Hawaii. Red hot lava flows of molten fire mow them down, however lehua exhault in fire and their seeds sprout directly from hardened black lava rock flows. This essence activates the Liver Meridian, an organ regenerates itself, like the lehua tree.

Taken internally 'O'hi'a lehua creates physical vitality. It's fiery nature helps overcome inertia by accessing stamina and will power. The flowers resemble volcanic eruptions and resurrect new fire and vibrancy for your system. (It's hot- only use it if you love red.) An aphrodesiac, it stimulates passion and creativity.

This essence may also be helpful when used topically on skin that is pale with small red eruptions. Add 1 drop to a skin cleanser and apply to eruptions. This may help release the redness by creating an alkaline ash condition, like the black lava in which this tree grows.
