Even if the products aren’t herbal or organic, I do ensure to see the ingredients and get the stuffs that don’t contain nasty preservatives, parabens or “cones” in them. Since India is the birthplace of Ayurveda, organic and naturally made products, I knew I’d definitely find loads of brands here to check out.

Essential Oils and Usage tips Lately, I've been coming across various herbal, organic and ayurvedic products that have certain "essential oils" in them. We keep on hearing about them every now and then these days, but how much do we know about them except for their names like lavender, geranium, tea tree etc.? While reviewing certain of these “ Essential and aroma oil ” products, I thought of doing some research on these essential oils, typically used for aromatherapy and other beauty and health products.
