WHY WE LOVE IT
Used for over 3,500 years in Mediterranean and Indian traditions, sesame oil is renowned for its powerful healing properties. The Ayurvedic text Caraka Samhita describes it as the best of all oils, and its benefits speak for themselves. Sesame oil has a warming and grounding effect on the nervous system, making it an excellent choice for soothing excess vata dosha in the body. It is deeply nourishing and moisturizing, providing lasting relief for dry or itchy ears. Additionally, its strong antimicrobial properties help protect the body and support a healthy immune system (ojas). Regular use is highly recommended, especially before traveling by plane or car, to keep your ears protected and balanced.
Our steam-distilled lavender is sustainably wild-crafted in the high-altitude regions of France, where the finest flowers thrive naturally. Lavender is a versatile herb with numerous benefits, including its ability to support ear health. Its antibacterial properties help keep the ears clean and well-maintained. As a natural analgesic, lavender provides pain relief, while its anti-inflammatory qualities make it an excellent option for soothing earaches. Additionally, lavender has a calming effect on the nervous system, promoting relaxation and balance before or after a stressful day.
