🌿 Why This Works

Ayurveda emphasizes the power of Gandha (scent) to influence mood and energy. The combination of natural oils and waxes holds aroma molecules close to the skin for hours, releasing them gradually. Sandalwood and Vetiver calm the mind, while floral and citrus oils uplift and balance the senses — a perfect daily ritual for mindful self-care.

⚠️ Note

• For external use only.
• Patch-test before use; avoid contact with eyes and mucous membranes.
• Keep away from direct sunlight and heat sources.

📜 Ayurvedic Reference

Inspired by the ancient practice of Gandha Yoga — the art of scent therapy in Ayurveda, where aromatic herbs like sandalwood, rose, and vetiver are used to balance the mind, body, and spirit.
