Stimulating Ingredients tips


Lemon Grass
Often used to energize (it’s a great natural jet lag cure), lemon grass stimulates the digestive and endocrine systems. It’s also a natural anti-fungal agent and eases muscle pain when applied topically.

Thai White Clay
A common component in Thai facial and body masques, this mineral-rich chalky paste gently exfoliates, helps draw out impurities, and calms the skin.

Ginger
Used in scrubs, wraps, massage oils, and masques, this warming root helps soothe sore muscles and relieve aches and pains.

Turmeric
A common ingredient in many Ayurvedic treatments, this spice is a strong antiseptic.

Camphor
It’s usually inhaled to treat respiratory problems, like sinusitis, but this essential oil is also used in ointments to treat muscle and joint pain.
