Ebba Sinus Relief Oil

The year was 870. Danish pirates Hinguar and Hubba invaded Scotland, and St. Ebba the Younger, abbess of Coldingham Monastery, knew what awaited her community. Anxious not for her life, but for her chastity, she assembled her nuns in the Chapter-house. What happened next shocked even the hardened invaders.

With a razor, Ebba cut off her nose and upper lip, and was courageously imitated by all the holy community. When the pirates burst into the convent, they were utterly repulsed. In rage, they locked the nuns in the chapter house and set it on fire. Ebba and her companions chose disfigurement and death over violation—and won the martyr's crown.

St. Ebba the Younger became the patron saint of the nose. The clarifying oils in this blend open airways and ease sinus pressure, bringing relief where Ebba once suffered. Her sacrifice reminds us that eternity is worth any earthly cost.

St. Ebba and companions, martyrs of Coldingham, pray for us! Give us courage to protect our virtue at any cost. Help us to value purity and faithfulness, and to trust that God sees and honors every sacrifice made in His name, knowing that what we suffer now is nothing compared to the glory that awaits.
