Kapha is the dosha of earth and water - stable, grounded, nourishing by nature. But when it accumulates in excess, that same quality becomes sluggishness, heaviness, congestion, and a resistance to movement. Kapha needs activation. It responds to warmth, stimulation, and the kind of intentional physical practice that gets things moving again.

Surya's Energizing Body Oil is formulated for exactly this purpose. The base returns to sesame - Ayurveda's warming carrier - but the herbal complex is entirely different in intention. Triphala is here in full: Amalaki, Bibhitaki, and Haritaki together form Ayurveda's most celebrated cleansing and revitalizing formula, used for millennia to support detoxification, digestion, and renewal. Guggulu (purified resin) adds metabolic and circulatory support. Tulsi (Holy Basil) - Ayurveda's Queen of Herbs - is adaptogenic, detoxifying, and toning. Mustard seed provides natural exfoliation and stimulates circulation. Cardamom, Vacha, Punarnava, Garcinia, Anantamul, Bhumyamalaki, and Manjistha complete a formula that is deeply cleansing, circulatory, and invigorating. Eucalyptus essential oil delivers immediate sensory activation.

Use it in the morning. Apply before a warm shower. Move through the body with intention, and feel the difference. 6.7 fl oz.

How to Use: 

Warm a small amount of oil between your palms.

Massage into skin using firm, brisk strokes - beginning at the ears and neck, moving inward toward the heart.

Use circular motions around joints and vigorous back-and-forth strokes along muscles.

Apply before a warm shower in the morning for the most energizing effect - the warmth of the shower helps the herbs absorb and activates their stimulating properties.

Can also be applied to the scalp.

Best used consistently - daily Abhyanga produces cumulative effects over time.
