​OCOTILLO ELIXIR

experience liberation from within
​

Ocotillo puts us back in touch with our wild instincts. For those who have experienced trauma, sexual or otherwise, and have lost their sense of agency and self ownership, or perhaps never known it to begin with – there is no better remedy. Ocotillo helps you to reclaim your creative power and your right to truly feel. It is a plant which governs the fluids of the body as well as the fluidity with which we move, and move through the world. Ocotillo is the newly installed gatekeeper, minding the dams which have held back your tears for too long and allowing them to flow like rivers full with Salmon once more.
 
When we feel stuck in life, like we've reached some invisible roadblock in the path, it is often due to repressed memories, unprocessed emotion, stagnation of the Spirit. Without careful attention, these things accumulate within our bodies and our hearts, the pressure growing ever greater and as it fills us by turns with a peculiar mixture of grief and anger, anxiety and restlessness. Ocotillo is a plant which goes straight to the root of our discomfort, in order to find resolution once and for all and to leave us feeling spacious and at ease in the world, once more. She is a plant who teaches us to dance gracefully with our shadow; to embrace the darkness of grief and wade through murky waters of long forgotten pain.

Ocotillo stokes the creative fire which lives within the womb, belly, and sexual centers, returning Eros to our world, renewing sexual vitality, and re-awakening the body to the electric sensations present in all of Life.  Her medicine invites you to speak your truth without apology, to stand your ground and stand up for who and what are important to you.  She reminds us how to reclaim our bodies, our time, and our pleasure as belonging solely to us and no one else.  Her medicine aids us in deconstructing the stories we tell ourselves about our bodies, our sexuality, and our respective pasts so that they may soften and take new form as we move toward blossoming.

What People Are Saying
​

"I've been taking this for about a week, and I can tell you it is incredibly powerful medicine. It has put me in touch with raw, neglected areas of self and given me subtle access to suppressed memories and knowledge of ancestral wounds. It's not a walk in the park. But it's a profound and intense journey that I know I am glad to have embarked upon."

"Wow I don’t know where to begin. Ocotillo has called me for awhile from its description. I feel like it was available at the right time I needed it , spirit works that way sometimes, I have ingested this the last five days and it’s amazing how it has much I have connected to my body my womb, the numbness is leaving, and my voice and truth are becoming stronger unfiltered.

Thank you so much for making this medicine, I feel the love and care that has went into it as well as the other products I have purchased, and I can’t wait to feel and see myself after the forty days!"

"My ghosts of the past were showing themselves and so I decided to dive in with Ocotillo. It has purged grief and many shadowy emotions that I like to pretend I've worked through completely. Ocotillo reminds me that there is deep despair in me, but also has tapped in to deep reserves of joy. I also feel that I am more in touch with the energetic nature of my sexuality and that has opened me back up to attraction out in the world. This plant's vibrations are dynamic and remind me that I am too."

"Like with all of Sophia's medicines especially, I felt drawn to this by intuition and based on what she wrote on this elixir. Having recently been in the desert and experiencing its profound healing benefits, I felt drawn to this medicine particularly at a time when I was ready to shift from stagnancy/heaviness in my womb space to more ease/lightness and inviting in new energy. Since, I have experienced a HUGE shift (and with the spring equinox) of receiving 10 fold what I have before, opening up to new work opportunities, friendships and love. I love the smoky taste as well. Definitely will revisit this and highly recommend! Thank you again, Sophia."

"I purchased one bottle of the Ocotillo Elixir last winter and proceeded to take one drop twice per day until the bottle was empty. After a while of taking the elixir I began noticing that I was processing a lot of anger; it was as if all the anger stored in my being was now being moved out. One night I was contemplating all of anger that had moved through me and I honestly had a life changing epiphany about the source of the anger and my own neurodivergence.

I had always wondered if I might be autistic and just yesterday, at age 35, I received a formal diagnosis that confirms my long held suspicions. I feel that I owe my arrival at this epiphany and the subsequent pursuit of investigating the reality of neurodivergence to this amazing medicine’s ability to peel back the layers and illuminate truth. I am so grateful to be in this place of greater understanding for myself and of myself and how that relates to every facet of my life and my relationships. "

"Took a drop for forty days four years ago and now my life is drastically different. My wholeness started seeping out. It catalyzed an overdue hatching. I’ve been learning to know the new eggling critter. This is a transformative offering. Thank you."

​"Last April, I had the privilege of visiting Ocotillo as a beautiful blooming backdrop for the wedding of my best friend in Tucson. In November, I was traveling through the Grand Canyon by raft and met Ocotillo high on her ridges, as we inched towards the Solstice and the darkest time of the year. This May, I began sipping this sweet and potent medicine internally, not knowing into which depths of my being it would take me but ready for the journey. I can only appreciate in these reflections just how clearly I was calling to her over the past year and how crisply she has replied.

As I've opened up to Ocotillo and begun taking this medicine I have become more acquainted with my sacred sexual center, organically exploring my deep crevices, at times with a lover and others with just myself.

So far, it has deemed dark and beautiful. I have been able to release very old tensions in my pelvic bowl, healing chronic pain, untangle blockages to my Heart and learn about these pieces of mine. I'm learning about Love & Creation.

I am so grateful to La Abeja Herbs, every effort and being that helped in preparing, storing and distributing this medicine. And to this sacred plant and her medicine. It is freeing me up to Love. Thank you."

"Sophia Rose has a profound gift and I’m so grateful I found her and the magical Elixirs and Essence she creates. Within the first few days of working with Ocotillo I experienced a deep expansive well of emotions surface.

Saying no and expressing my true needs and desires had been extremely difficult before but now the ease and softness of truth pours out of me and for the first time in my life I feel safe in my body. I have lived through trauma since childhood and have carried the heavy burden deep within my body for 40 years. Being too afraid to face the healing process I’ve held tight to all I’ve ever known but this year I knew it was time to heal.

​I’m not surprised I discovered Sophia and the healing properties of the products she sends out as little bottles of hope and freedom. Parts of me have been awakened in a way I never knew was even possible. I’ve fallen in love with myself and my life for the first time and know that I truly deserve healing and love."
