Olive Wood Massage Tool

This handmade olive wood massaging tool was sustainably crafted by local artisans using olive tree branches in Bethlehem. Use it with Eucalyptus Globulus (another freebie) and V-6 Vegetable Oil Complex, then use the handheld massage tool to pinpoint pressure points and soothe those tired muscles. This is also wonderful with Ortho Ease Massage Oil.

The Holy Land Handicraft Cooperative in Bethlehem provides fair-trade wages and stable employment to those in economically unstable circumstances. But as travel restrictions began to take place in 2020, many artisan groups shut down due to the lack of work.

These orders from Young Living provided much-needed relief in the mist of the economic downturn. Many workshops have reopened, reviving the area and its artisans. Creating and selling unique olive wood products enables these families to stay in their homeland, earn a living, and provide opportunities for their children.
