Vata Body Oil: Nourishing Ayurvedic Abhyanga Oil for Dry Skin
Vata Body Oil: Nourishing Ayurvedic Abhyanga Oil for Dry Skin
As the crisp winds of autumn heighten vata dosha, keep your skin soft, hydrated & your nervous system calm with this grounding Ayurvedic body oil—crafted for daily abhyanga ritual.
Comprised of the air & ether elements, vata dosha is naturally light, cool & dry. When out of balance, vata types often experience rough, dehydrated skin & a sensitive nervous system. Our Vata Body Oil is formulated to counter these qualities with grounding, warming & deeply nourishing botanicals that restore softness & stability to body & mind.
Infused with adaptogenic Ashwagandha, warming Cinnamon & ultra-hydrating Sesame Oil, this luxurious blend supports daily abhyanga (self-massage), delivering lasting moisture while calming vata at its root.

Infused with Ayurvedic Healing Mantra | Handcrafted in Small Batches with Love | Tested on Family & Friends
Hey, you. We're committed to giving you the best stuff out there, and sometimes that means we find other cool people making awesome things. It's like we're the best matchmakers for your self-care routine.
This product is from one of those super rad, small businesses that we’ve vetted and love. But since they're the experts, they'll be shipping it directly to you.
So, don't be shocked when this little gem arrives in its own separate package, all by its lonesome. It's just a special delivery from a friend of the family!
(Real) Ingredients
(Real) Ingredients
We use real pronounceable ingredients that are ethically sourced and high quality for your product.
We either grow or work with local growers to source for our formulas. This supports the local economy, gives us the most potent plants & reduces reliance upon fossil fuels.
We make products from herbs that will grow here over herbs from the Amazon, China, or Africa. Oftentimes, those trendy herbs are taken in an unsustainable way & local people do not have access to their native medicines any longer. Bioregional herbalism is where it's at!
Packaging
Packaging
We are working to eliminate plastic from our packaging. Currently, 99% of our packaging is metal, glass, or paperboard. We are always looking for ways to eliminate microplastics from your body and the planet!
How to Use
How to Use
Herbal remedies, supplements, and tonics are fundamentally different from pharmaceuticals (and we like it that way). They are designed to restore your body and its systems to homeostasis gently- working with your body.
Specifics on dosages and administration for all products are in our FAQ. Find the FAQ in the menu under the "About" Section.
We post basic dosage guidelines, but keep in mind if you have more body mass or a faster metabolism than the average bear, you may need to take a larger dose than indicated. If there are hard-and-fast limitations on how often you can take the product, it will be listed on the package. Most can be used up to six times daily without problems (but we doubt that you would need to do that).
Remember, there are no "magic bullets" in life, and any product (herbal, pharmaceutical, or otherwise) claiming 100% success without knowing you, your constitution, and your lifestyle is lying and trying to get into your wallet. Often, herbalists (and MDs) need to try several products before we find the one that works for your unique biochemistry.
Feel free to email us if the product didn't quite do the job, we can recommend another that could do the trick. We are blessed with many plants that have the same action in the body- and often it's just a matter of finding the right one for you.
