It’s a stressful life and sometimes, you just need to pamper yourself. EKAM sent TheGlitz a collection of essential oil blends that offers therapeutic benefits and make the process of aromatherapy more fun and accessible. We tried it out and guess what, we found EKAM essential oils really excellent for the mind, body and soul.
Let’s talk about the packaging of these 10 ml bottles first. They are colourful, happy and well-thought-of – a gentle grey for Gentle Peace, vibrant orange for Positive Energy, floral rose for Self Love and a zingy yellow for True Joy! …Must say, we loved the names – Self Love, Gentle Peace, Positive Energy and True Joy… very motivational. EKAM initiated a feeling of peace, rejuvenation and happiness starting from the names itself.
We started with Self Love essential oil that came in a 10ml colorful bottle and had a spicy scent. A few drops of it immediately relaxed us and took us to a happy zone filled with positivity and love. Made of a blend of extracts from cinnamon bark oil (this makes you feel very pleasant), ginger oil (sparks feelings of self-empowerment), nutmeg oil (balances the heart chakra allowing you to love yourself more), orange oil (helps with depression), patchouli oil (raises your sensuality) and pine oil (helps you think clearer), Self Love really made us feel loved and happy. Priced at Rs 385 for 10 ml.
Gentle Peace was the next one we tried out. It had a lovely floral scent that immediately uplifted our spirits and gave us a feeling of deep, undisturbed peace. Made of extracts from the best blends of pine oil (creates an ideal ambiance for prayer, meditation), cedar wood oil Himalaya (helps in feeling grounded and balancing emotions), clove bud oil (helps have a sense of well-being), aniseed oil (helps experience a positive energy shift), grapefruit Oil Pink (helps clear headaches), Jasmine Sambac Absolute (helps when feeling fear or a lack of emotion), Juniper Berry Oil (offers a grounding, calming effect), Petit Grain Oil (relaxes mood, helps with depressive feeling), Palma Rosa Oil (helps heal the immune system and Rose Absolute (gives off a peaceful vibe)… Gentle Peace is guaranteed to give you a sense of well-being and peace. Priced at Rs 350 for 10 ml.
