Heating, Drying, Stimulating
Description:
This
oil perks up the lethargy, heaviness and stability of Kapha. It
addresses such Kapha traits as depression, overweight, high
cholesterol, edema, colds/mucus conditions, greed, diabetes and
couch-potato-itis. Grapeseed oil is the primary base because it's
lightweight and won't add to Kapha's already heavy and oily qualities. Ginger is spicy and
hot, cardamom is both herbaceous and floral and grapefruit is uplifting
and fresh. This is a well-balanced, stimulating, beautiful oil!
Ingredients:
Grapeseed/Sunflower Oil Base, Vitamin E, Essential Oil Blend including
Fresh Ginger, Cardamom and Pink Grapefruit.
Ginger (Zingiber officinalis) is very popular in ayurvedic herbology. It's
warming, increases the metabolism and dries excess mucus conditions. It
increases digestive fire and absorption of nutrients. It stimulates
kaphas out of lethargy. Fresh ginger is less heating than dried ginger
so this oil won't tend to overheat those working with pitta-kapha disorders.
