Chakra oil

The chakras are energy centers in the body and aura that correspond to different feeling and physical organs. It is necessary for these chakras to be balanced in order to experience overall wellbeing. The chakras oil is a combination of three essential oils – cedarwood, cypress, and sandalwood. Cedarwood has an earthy aroma which provides a soothing effect and grounds you. It also elevates the mood and relaxes.

Cypress on the other hand is related to transition, transformation and renewal while sandalwood is energizing, and provides stillness, being and unity. The combination of these three in the chakra oil makes the breathing deep and helps in regulating the inner flow of energy. Thisyoga oil cleanses, stabilizes and balances the 3 bio and mental energies which can become imbalanced due to stress, wrong lifestyle, aging process or even environmental factors.

Rose oil

Rose has a calming effect and aids relaxation. It is especially useful in times of stress and grief as it boosts self-esteem, confidence and mental strength and also alleviates depression which may be caused due to any reason. This oil relieves anxiety and is widely used in the system of aromatherapy for feelings of joy and spiritual relaxation.

At the same time, on the physical level it is a tried and tested remedy for colds and blocked nose. Lavender has a sweet floral aroma, which is refreshing, soothing, calming and comforting. It is a good idea to immerse in the fragrance of lavender before going to sleep as it aids relaxation. Rosemary is meant for discovering your self-identity, destiny and dedication but should not be used in pregnancy and high blood pressure.
