After bath Warming Oil
After bath Warming Oil
A spiced winter oil for aches, stiffness and cold hands.
Beat your winter woes with this warming and relaxing oil, made with stimulating spices, flowers and cooling camphor.
It works well at easing the unpredictable aches, pain and stiffness that always feel more distressing during the colder months. A warming abhyanga after a bath is one easy way to balance kapha and vata through the season, and the aromatic spices and parijat flowers make it something closer to aromatherapy at the same time.
It is fragrance free — the warm, spicy aroma is the spices themselves. Non-greasy and nourishing, and it suits all skin types.
