Son of Apollo Anointing Oil

do not underestimate the potency of the healing crisis!! whew. when forgetting that it is part of the process, it can feel scary & overwhelming. but asclepius truly comes through with the support and guidance to make such experiences generative. been helping me to root out some deeeeep deep seated coping mechanisms and heal emotional wounds

I've had this for a long time, and it's just as gold and radiant as when I first got it. Helps with relieving mental stress greatly, and is great for relaxing a busy brain before bed or big events. Something I might always need to have.

This oil feels so warm and comforting to use. It truly feels like being healed by sunshine. For body applications, I use the salve for physical pain relief, and the oil for depression and mental health. I also like using the oil to dress candles for Apollo and Asclepius.

Sealing minor wounds, scrapes, or infections with this oil will heal them, and because it doesn't contain a bunch of essential oils, can be applied to delicate mucous membranes (at your own risk and after a patch test, of course.)

I'm still learning the differences between this materia and the mainline Asclepius line, but for whatever reason, spirit calls me to use the Solar forms much more frequently, and baseline Asclepius items tend to be used on others.

Healed my irritated eye just this week. Washed the affected area, placed this on top of it, and it was back to normal the next day.

I've used this oil after experiencing major medical trauma. It was the only thing that helped. It immediately reduces any anxiety I have and makes me feel hopeful. It is hands down my favorite Sphere and Sundry offering. Thank you!

I got this one to compare with the Asclepius oil, which I've been using for a while and I'd say both work just as good but I do tend to reach for Son of Apollo when I have any aching muscles or a sore neck. I guess I just gravitate more to the warmer energy (I struggle with feeling cold a lot etc). Also, I know it's supposed to be used more during the day but honestly I often use it for bedtime and it still results in a great sleep for me.

More active and brighter in its nature than Asclepius oil. This is more solar in nature vs. Asclepius is more lunar. Can also use this during the day and Asclepius at night. Actively healing.

I find myself reaching for this more than Asclepius. When I have the winter doldrums, I think of this as a dose of summer beach sun in a bottle. It’s a gentle lift that prevents me from succumbing to the winter dank. I dig it.

This oil has become important for me for so many reasons. It's health supporting benefits cannot be overstated. Many reviews sing it's praises for this, and rightly so. In addition to this, it functions as an ongoing support for my natal Sun in fall. Solar materia has not been accessible to me as a result of this and other factors in the past. Yet the are many reasons why addressing Solar remediation felt like a undeniable need. Son of Apollo helped to fill that need so gently. Over time I believe it has not only nourished this area of my life, but working with it consistently has strengthened this area to the extent that now Golden Sol II is gloriously accessible to me.

All praise to the mighty Asclepius! I'm very fond of the Son of Apollo materia. The most recent thing it helped with was, my partner's health. He'd been having some problems which I won't go into, but... after working with SOA, he found the solution intuitively. It's honestly such a relief-- I was worried about him. I love you, Asclepius!
