Pitta Massage Oil
$25 - $50
(8 oz., amber plastic bottle)
|
Cooling, Calming
Description:
This
oil addresses typical Pitta traits like anger, perfectionism,
rashes/hives/acne/psoriasis, acid indigestion, redness/inflammation,
proneness
to infections, diarrhea, overheating, sensitivity to light and
headaches. Fractionated coconut oil is used for its lightness (Pitta
doesn't tolerate heavier oils) and because it won't harden at room
temperature. The main essential oils used are those
classically indicated for Pitta imbalance: lavender, peppermint and geranium. (Pitta Deluxe contains an extravagant blend of rare and costly essential oils: rose, sandalwood and multani mitti attar (baked earth distilled into
sandalwood).) This oil is more subtly scented than the others as Pitta
types tend to
have strong senses of smell. It's light and herbaceous with the subtle freshness of peppermint.
