Is there more to the Cancer Zodiac sign than just being"the nurturer"? ♋✨

Join clinical aromatherapist Elizabeth Ashley (The Secret Healer) and Adam Barralet for a "sideways" journey into the heart of the Cancerian archetype. In this episode, we explore why Cancerians are the "mother hens" of the zodiac (regardless of gender!) and how specific essential oils can support their unique emotional and physical landscape.

From the "womb knowledge" of Myrrh to the gentle community spirit of Roman Chamomile, we look at how plants reflect the Cancerian desire to create a safe haven. We alsotackle the "moody" side of the crab—exploring how Eucalyptus helps us breathe through heated emotions and how Patchouli grounds those who find themselves lost in nostalgia.

Finally, we dive into the traditional world of Medical Astrology. Discover why the Cancer sign traditionally governs digestion, the lymphatic system, and the breasts, and how botanical allies like Fennel can be used to soothe the "stewing" of astressed-out Cancerian.

🌿 Featured Oils & Topics:

The "Mother" Archetype: Why Cancerians are the matriarchs of their social groups.

Myrrh: Connecting to the "High Priestess" and seeing beyond the veil.

Roman Chamomile: The "Doctrine of Signatures" and the power of white flowers.

Eucalyptus & Jasmine: Cooling the "boiling water" of emotions and finding sensual flow.
