One brand I love for Lip Balms is Hurraw!
They just released a brand new addition to their collection.
We are always thinking (ok, obsessing) about unique, beneficial and all natural balm combos. Decidedly, we took a challenge; to create balms based on basic Ayurvedic Dosha principles* Ayurvedic who? Dosha what? Hurraw is lucky to have an Ayurvedic practitioner on staff so bear with us here. Talk about obsessed! After two years of diligently formulating our asanas off, satisfaction arose.
We infuse rich, cold pressed organic sesame seed oil with plants, fruits and roots known to compliment each Dosha. We melt in our creamy raw organic coconut oil, rich raw organic cacao butter and emollient cold pressed organic castor oil. We mingle in a trio of flavors from pure essential oils and all natural flavor extracts to create a unique, long lasting, very nourishing lip balm.
Kapha balm:
An infusion of tulsi leaf.
Invigorating and zesty grapefruit subtly melds with stimulating eucalyptus while fresh ginger gives a bit of warmth.
Energizing.
The Kapha Dosha: steadfast, strong, calm, generous, damp
Element: water & earth
Commands: memory, devotion, stamina, density
Emotions: patience, attachment, sympathy, attentive
Pacified by: spicy, astringent, arid
*Ayurveda is the traditional medicine of India.
According to Ayurveda there are three Doshas: Vata (wind), Pitta (fire & water), and Kapha (water & earth).
These elemental forces manifest into one's mind and body characteristics. A unique combination of these three Ayurvedic principles (Doshas) are present in everyone.
