Key Ingredients:
- Sesame Oil: Tiny seeds, with a powerful punch, sesame seeds have been used for over 3,500 years in the Mediterranean & India for their powerful healing effects. The sacred text of Ayurveda, Caraka Samhita, calls sesame oil the best of all oils. Ayurveda most certainly has a love affair with this oil & after using it, it is easy to see why! Sesame oil is traditionally used in Ayurvedic body oil formulations due to its warming, grounding & calming effects on the nervous system. It is highly nourishing & moisturizing, bringing deep hydrating relief to dry skin. Finally, sesame oil also has powerful anti-microbial properties which help eliminate any funk from the body, while keeping your ojas, or immune system, strong.
- Ashwagandha: One of the most important Ayurvedic herbs, ashwagandha root has been used for over 3,000 years to relieve stress, increase energy & improve concentration. In Sanskrit, its name translates to “smell of the horse” which refers to its unique smell & its ability to strengthen immunity. It is classified as an adaptogen, which means that it helps the body & mind to cope with stress, anxiety & even reduce cortisol levels. Many of its profound health benefits are due to its high concentration of withanolides, which have been shown to combat inflammation & tumor growth. With antibiotic, antibacterial & rejuvenating properties, this miracle root is extremely nourishing for dry skin, while also promoting firmness & elasticity.
- Cinnamon: Has been valued for thousands of years & dates back to ancient Egyptian times when it was rare & highly regarded as “a gift fit for kings”. Cinnamon is the inner bark of a tropical, evergreen tree which contains high amounts of cinnamaldehyde, the compound scientist believe to be responsible for most of cinnamon’s health benefits. Cinnamon has a warming effect & contains highly potent antioxidants, anti-inflammatory properties, supports healthy metabolic function & helps maintain a strong immune system, especially when seasonal threats are high. It has even been found to reduce the growth of cancer cells & inhibit the growth of tumors.
