Kosha Body Oil

$45.00

In Vedantic philosophy the Koshas are the five layers, or sheaths, that cover the essential soul. The Koshas are: the body, prana (energy), the mind, wisdom and bliss. Guna's Kosha Body Oil nourishes you from the inside out.

Kosha can also be used for abhyanga - an Ayurvedic ritual of self-massage with oil - to nurture the body. Abhyanga is an important part of an Ayurvedic routine and has been practiced for centuries to detoxify, cleanse and moisturise skin. Black Sesame has been used since Vedic times - the ancient Ayurvedic scholar Caraka, in his well-known treatise on Ayurveda, claims that it is the best of all oils and it's the traditional choice for abhyanga.

TIPS AND TRICKS

How-to

Treat your body and hair with this rich oil that's full of essential fatty acids, antioxidants, vitamins and essential oils.

• Massage into warm, damp skin after a bath or shower, focusing on areas of tension or concern.

• For abhyanga, massage Kosha into your skin before a bath or shower, focusing on joints and dry areas. This works especially well for dry skin, as it'll keep your skin from drying out.

• Massage Kosha into your scalp to stimulate circulation and into your strands and tips to treat dry and damaged hair. Leave it in for at least an hour before washing your hair, overnight if possible.

My favourite body oil which I use after a shower. Smells great without being overpowering. Have bought it several times and as gifts for others as well.

Smells lovely, nourishes my skin without being greasy

I’ve been using this body oil for a few years now as it’s the only treatment for my skin that works in both summer and winter. And it makes me smell AMAZING all day long.

I live in London so the water is pretty hard, stripping my skin of its oils. For years I had to use layers of shea butter and almond oil - but I hated how my clothes would get greasy and my skin would still dry up and flake.

Kosha gets fully absorbed by my skin without looking greasy, and gives a beautiful scent to my clothes. That also means I don’t have to do laundry as often as I used to..!

Love this oil - please don’t ever take this away, as it’s the only thing that’s worked with my skin!

Thank you Guna!

FAQ

My skin is very dry. Does Kosha work?

Kosha is a rich body oil, richer than most. We've used ingredients like Pumpkin Seed Oil, Shea Oil and Virgin Argan Oil, all of which are especially good for dry skin.

To prevent skin from drying out, massage Kosha into your skin before a bath or shower, as a form of abhyanga (Ayurvedic self-massage).

For a very rich body treatment, you can mix some Universal Balm and Kosha in your palm, and then massage it into your skin. The combination of the balm and oil is especially rich, and will leave your skin super soft and supple.

How does a hair oil work?

Hair oils are commonplace in South Asia, and used extensively in Ayurveda. They're a weekly ritual, with a family member usually applying oil to your scalp and hair, giving you a relaxing head massage at the same time.

Applying Kosha to your scalp is great for your skin and follicles. Distributing Kosha through your strands and tips helps with dehydration, frizziness and roughness. With regular use, your hair will be silkier, softer and more lustrous.

How often should I use Kosha?

As a body oil, use it as often as you need. It's best used before or after a bath or shower, so your skin absorbs it.

As a hair oil, Kosha works well as a treatment once a week. If your hair gets damaged from colouring, heat, swimming or sun, you'll get best results by leaving it to soak in overnight before washing it out.
