The Indian science of Ayurveda and Ayurveda Aromatherapy is based on the Elements, Doshas / Prakruti (genetic constitution) and Vikruti (presenting condition. There are three Doshas, Vata (Air & Ether) Pitta (Fire & Water) & Kapha(Water & Earth) – originating from the five basic elements Air, Ether, Fire, Water & Earth.

It is said that we are born with an inherited genetic blueprint, or Prakruti of these Doshas within us, some more pre-dominant than the others. When the Doshas are balanced according to our Prakruti, they support the body. When not in balance, they cause disease and disorders.

Our skin is the best diagnostic tool to determine this imbalance. Due to over-indulgence in food and an unbalanced lifestyle, toxins accumulate resulting in ailments and ultimately ageing. This Dosha blueprint is also found in all matter including plants. Essential oils are the Prana or the life force of the plant.

Subtle Energies have incorporated these principles into their unique skin care range, which works to achieve balance and harmony at the individual Dosha level, whilst also nurturing the skin and senses.
