Ayurveda means the Science of Longevity. Our Ayurvedic massage blends are specially formulated and blended in India using organic herbs, pure essential and base oils to balance the doshas; this is based on the ancient Indian Vedic Tradition. They help balance the body and mind according to the three Ayurvedic principles called Vata, Pitta and Kapha. From the perspective of Ayurveda, the better the balance, the greater your health. Our Ayurvedic oils are preblended and ready to use. They are best applied warm, and are suitable for application all over the body (except scalp) in a unidirectional motion from the center towards the periphery without excessive pressure.

It is often used in cosmetics for its pleasant, invigorating fragrance. It is softening and deodorizing, and lightens pigmentation on the skin and hair. It also helps balance skin pH and repels insects. Lemon is said to foster love, longevity, purification, fidelity, and friendship.
Grape Seed Oil - (Vitis vinifera) A very light oil, especially great for use in massage oils because it is relatively non-greasy. It's wonderfully softening to the skin, and is non-allergenic, making it perfect for sensitive skin and delicate skin areas. Grapes are said to improve fertility, mental powers, and prosperity.
Wheatgerm - (Triticum vulgare) Wheat Germ Oil is widely used as both a cosmetic ingredient and as a dietary supplement. It is naturally rich in Vitamins A, D, and E, and also contains Vitamins B1, B2, B3, B6, F, Essential Fatty Acids, protein, and minerals. Because of its anti-oxidant and regenerative properties, Wheat Germ Oil is a wonderful ingredient to add to bodycare and cosmetic products.

Essential Fatty Acids support physiological functions, and are essential for the health of our organs and overall health.

These are needed for our cardiovascular, immune, nervous, reproductive systems, and to maintain healthy cells and body functions. The Vitamin E Oil present in Wheat Germ Oil promotes skin cell formation, and is great for nourishing and rejuvenating dry, mature, dehydrated skin, and reducing scars, stretch marks, sunburns, and damaged skin. It has anti-inflammatory and anti-oxidant effects, which may be beneficial medicinally as well as in cosmetics.
