Hey Everyone! It has been really long since I have shared the products in my shelf with you all. So, I thought it would be a good exercise to start with the essential oils first. Most of the essential oils I buy from a wholesale retailer Moksha lifestyle and I love Kama ayurveda essential oils as well thought they are very expensive!!

Kama Ayurveda's
  • French Cypress - no idea what it really does but smells heavenly!
  • Peppermint - best for hair growth!
  • Lavender - not sure if it really suits me but it helps in soothing the nerves, calms the mind and helps one sleep. also helps in hair growth and oil balancing. can be applied neat on skin.
  • Ylang Ylang - I love this! and, helps in hair growth.
  • Tea Tree - keeps away pests and mosquitoes and helps with any skin problem. can be applied neat like lavender.

Moksha
  • Rosemary - helps in hair growth.
  • Patchouli - smells beautiful. apparently can be used as perfume if used as perfume oil.
  • Cinnamon Bark - helps in hair growth but can be irritating on skin if used in excess.
  • Ginger - stimulates circulation and helps in hair growth.
  • Cedar Wood - no idea again but smells good.
  • Frankincense - second favourite in essential oils. one of the best essential oils to be used in diffuser.

  • Afrazan's Palmarosa - can be used as a substitute for rose essential oil.
So, what do you say?

  2. Swati,, I had been thinking of this for a pretty long time.. With my age nearing to 30s and a hefty schedule I need to take care of my skin and hair as well. Hence ditching all the chemical laden creams and lotions and coming back to my essential oils and natural stuffs ..

    1. haha....true, me too hitting 30 soon :( yup eo's are pretty helpful. for a start you can go for your favourite carrier oil and tea tree unless your skin is really dry!! tea tree helps normal and combination skin too.
