This is a time of year when we all start to think about love and romance – but while you’re showing your love for all the special people in your life, don’t forget to show yourself some loving care as well.

The concept of Ayurvedic healing is one that’s been around for centuries, but is also growing more and more relevant to the modern world as more people seek natural ways to keep their bodies and minds in balance. We’re so excited about our brand-new arrivals; the SoulTree Ayurvedic skin care and hair care products designed to give you that natural pampering you deserve. Each one is made with a special blend of Ayurvedic herbs to offer you a range of healing and beautifying benefits.

An Introduction to Ayurveda

Simply put, Ayurveda is a “science of life” that originated in India over 5000 years ago. The word comes from the Sanskrit āyus (life), and veda (sacred knowledge). Ayurvedic healing is based on the principle that all people posess a unique mix of three mind/body principles, known as Doshas. These Doshas determine the specific mental and physical characteristics of each person.

The three Doshas are known as Vata, Pitta and Kapha. To learn about your dominant Dosha(s), take the Dosha quiz, and then check out our blog on caring for your Dosha type.

Once you know more about your Dosha, and what your skin and hair type need to thrive, you’ll be able to choose the most beneficial products to suit your needs.
