This bath bar is a tribute to the stinging honeybees of the Amazon, carrying their powerful medicine and the radiant force of the sun. Let the nourishing blend of cacao, shea, and mango butters bathe you in their grounding protection as the honey works its magic.. sweetly cleansing your spirit, bringing protection, healing, and abundance.
The Spirit of the Stinging Honeybee
In the Amazon rainforest, the honeybee is more than a diligent pollinator.. she is a sacred messenger, a powerful protector, and a symbol of abundance. Tribes such as the Kayapó and the Yanomami revere the stinging bees, known for their unwavering connection to the Earth and Sun. For these tribes, the honeybee’s sting is a lesson in balance: one must respect the delicate harmony of life, for the bee defends with precision and purpose, protecting the sweetness of nature.
The Kayapó people believe the honeybees are emissaries of the sun god, transforming the sunlight into golden nectar. Honey is seen as a divine substance, gifted to humans as a source of sustenance and spiritual nourishment. In their rituals, honey is used to anoint the body and spirit, invoking protection, healing, and a deeper connection to the natural world. The Yanomami, living deep within the forest, see the bees as guardians of the sacred flowers of the jungle, pollinating plants that carry medicinal and spiritual powers. To them, honey is a link to the heart of the forest, bringing the richness of nature’s bounty into the physical and spiritual realms.
These bees play an essential role in sustaining heirloom, wild blossoms from one of the most biodiverse areas on the planet. By harvesting nectar from these ancient, sacred flowers, the bees help preserve the delicate balance of the forest ecosystem, ensuring these rare and powerful plants continue to flourish. As a result, their honey is not only rich in nutrients and medicinal properties, but also carries the vibrant life force of the rainforest itself.
Spiritual and Energetic Properties of Amazonian Honey
The honey in this sacred bar is sourced from wild Brazilian stinging honeybees, who gather nectar from innumerable heirloom, wild blossoms in the Atlantic Forest South-East Reserves. These reserves are a collection of 25 protected areas in Brazil’s Paraná and São Paulo states, covering nearly 470,000 hectares. Listed as a UNESCO World Heritage Site, these reserves represent one of the largest and best-preserved areas of the Atlantic Forest, a critically threatened ecosystem that stretches along Brazil’s eastern coast into Argentina and Paraguay.
This vital rainforest is home to many unique and endangered plant and animal species, including jaguars, sloths, tamarins, and toucans. The bees play a crucial role in sustaining the rich flora of this ecosystem by pollinating heirloom, wild blossoms, helping ensure the survival of these ancient species. Their honey is more than just nourishment; it is a life-giving force, carrying the energy of this threatened yet resilient forest.
By engaging this sacred bath, you are connecting with the energy of the Atlantic Forest and the powerful work of the bees that help sustain it. The honey they produce embodies the strength, purity, and vitality of the forest, and in your ritual, you are invited to honor this connection, drawing in the wisdom and healing power of nature itself.

The nurturing energy of honey is seen as balancing and calming, which helps restore harmony within the spirit.
- Protection and Sacred Balance: The honeybee fiercely defends her hive, and in the same way, her honey brings protection to those who engage with it. This bath bar acts as a shield, safeguarding your spirit while maintaining the delicate balance between giving and receiving in life.

Plant Spirit Medicine is a form of spiritual remediation rooted in ancestral traditions that combines classical Chinese~ Five Element theory, the indigenous practice of calling upon plant spirits, and the Animism religion (the attribution of a soul to plants, inanimate objects, and natural phenomena.) Plant Spirit Medicine recognizes that like humans, plants have spirit, and their spirit has the unique capacity to touch and rebuild the spirit of a human being and restore us to our own essential nature. Our ancestors lived this way–-an existence in which there is no illusion of separation from nature. They would make friends with the spirits of nature and call upon them for restoration and other everyday affairs. This ancient practice was remembered, revitalized, and reintroduced by the late teacher and healer, Eliot Cowan, and has proven to be as effective in today’s world as in times past. Modern people are once again turning to plants for guidance and for their ability to regenerate spirit.
