Open sesame!
We took a challenge: to create balms based on basic Ayurvedic Dosha principles*
We infuse rich, cold pressed organic sesame seed oil with plants, fruits and roots known to compliment each Dosha. We melt in our creamy raw organic coconut oil, rich raw organic cacao butter and emollient cold pressed organic castor oil. We mingle in a trio of flavors from pure essential oils and all natural flavor extracts to create a unique, long lasting, very nourishing lip balm.
Kapha balm: An herbal infusion of tulsi. Invigorating and zesty grapefruit subtly melds with stimulating eucalyptus; fresh Malagasy ginger gives warmth. Energizing.
The Kapha Dosha: steadfast, strong, calm, generous, damp.
Element: water & earth.
Commands: memory, devotion, stamina, density.
Emotions: patience, attachment, sympathy, attentive.
Pacified by: spicy, astringent, arid.
*Ayurveda is the traditional medicine of India.
According to Ayurveda there are three Doshas: Vata (wind), Pitta (fire & water), and Kapha (water & earth). These elemental forces manifest into one's mind and body characteristics.
Please note if you have allergies: although there are no nut oils in these balms they are made on equipment shared with almond oil. Coconut oil is considered a seed oil.
