Poem by Pua O Eleili Pinto

E nā hoa makamaka,

Mahalo nui for working tirelessly day in, day out. We are so grateful for your leadership in this confusing time. 

This is a small gift of appreciation to hopefully give you just a moment of rejuvenation. Our breath is our supporting stalk that boosts our immunity, clearing out our bodies of the hurt, restoring them with strength and grounding. 

The herbs infused in this chest rub are carefully blended to both enhance your breath as well as deepen your connection to our ancestors and the environment. 

You are supported by many seen and unseen. 

When you need to feel those supporting you, please take a moment to rub this salve on your chest and take a couple deep breaths. 

Nui ke aloha, 
Hoʻoulu ʻĀina
