These oils are nourishing to the soul and enhance the present moment.


There are multiple techniques to help a person enjoy the present moment using Essential Oils. A few of those are as follows:

Mindfulness can be practiced in small things like:

  • Eating food

When we are present in the moment, we enjoy each and every second of it. Similarly, when eating our food if we are mindful, we relish every bite of it. The gratitude associated with having food on the table gives meaning to life and the soul. Essential oils like Frankincense oil can be diffused in the dining area to make the whole eating experience a calming one.

  • While sleeping

Sleep is an essential part of one’s routine. It is rightfully said that good sleep is better than a hundred medicines. Hence, diffusing your bedroom with essential oils like chamomile oil can help create a relaxing atmosphere to facilitate a peaceful sleep.

  • Massage Oil

A massage is more than just an indulgent experience but rather an effective method of relaxation. When massage is combined with aromatherapy and panchakarma, people can enjoy the benefits of better health and wellness. Aromatherapy has been used to improve well-being by improving circulation in the body, reducing stress levels, and promoting relaxation. Similarly, Panchkarma benefits include purifying your body and enhancing overall health and well-being. Using essential oils when massaging your body can be deeply relaxing.

The warmth and comfort can be a great source of pleasure for your soul.





In conclusion, incorporating essential oils into your overall self-care and health regimen is a great way to add some luxury to your day.
