deep muscle relief
|
Therapy begins at home. We reformulated our family Ayurvedic recipe to make Ma’s Massage Oil for aching joints and tired muscles. In fact, that's her on the label.
We've prepared this one the old school Ayurveda way. Camphor, Eucalyptus, Peppermint, Mustard Seed, Ajwain Seed and Clove Oils work together to soothe, stimulate circulation and combat inflammation, spasms and pain. Use it the Ayurveda way, too—warm up the oils before you apply them. The heat helps make massaging and absorb-ability of the oils easier. "I recently bought some of your massage oil while in Vancouver, and I want more please!" Greg R., Alberta, Canada |

Let go of the stresses of the day
|
We live in a stressful world. Our Head Balm is blended with Essential Oils that can relax a heavy head and melt away the day's stresses.
Half the magic of our Head Balm comes from the essential oils in it. The other half comes from the massage you give yourself when you apply it. Rub a little balm between your fingers and warm it up. Then, in a symmetrical fashion, massage it into both your temples and across the top of your forehead. Take some more Balm between your fingers and warm it up. Now massage this round onto the bone behind each of your ears, starting from the top of the ear to the bottom. This area holds acupressure points that connect to your brain. Next, massage the balm into the back of the neck, from just below the hairline to the shoulders. You've just surrounded your head with relieving goodness. "This Head Balm works for my migraines." Sheila R, Santa Clara, CA |

No need for your skin to be in toxic relationships
|
Our Thieves Salve can help. The legend goes that during the plague, grave robbers didn't get sick thanks to covering their mouths with a handkerchief soaked in a blend of 5 antiviral, anti-fungal, antibacterial oils—Eucalyptus, Clove, Cinnamon, Lemon and Rosemary. The first four were staples on my Grandmother's Ayurveda medicine shelf.
Thieves Salve takes those essential oils and puts them into a massage-able format. It can be used topically on cuts, wounds, scrapes or cold sores. It can also be used as a chest rub during a cold, or rubbed on the soles of your feet to boost your immune system with antibacterial Essential Oils. "Thanks for Thieve Salve. I like that the oils are in a cream. It's a lot less messy to use than the oils by themselves." Judy B, Edmonton, Canada |
Every good relationship needs boundaries

Body Therapy FAQ's
What's the SPF on the Sun Balm?
Our Sun Balm has not been scientifically tested for SPF. But Sun Protection Factor is based on how long a time between applications. Based on our own tests, we've found that you can go 30-60 minutes (depending on how much melanin in your skin) before re-application.
Why is the Head Balm and the Thieves Salve solid instead of a roll on or oil drops?
We thought about this a lot. In the end, we went with a wax-based balm because the wax does a great job of holding the essential oils to your skin. It also gives you the ability to massage it in, allowing the healing power of touch to work its magic.
Do I use the Irritated Skin balm or Uber Rich help my eczema?
Both are designed to help skin issues. Our customers have reported back that the Irritate Skin Balm can help with red, rashy conditions like Rosacia. Uber Rich can help with super dry skin conditions, like certain kinds of eczema.
Is it Vegan?
The balms and salves are not vegan. We use beeswax in them. Ma's Massage Oil and Shoo Fly! are vegan.
