Ayurveda, or Ayurvedic medicine, is a sacred and comprehensive therapeutic science that has been practised in India for over 5,000 years. It is also a philosophy and a way of life. In Sanskrit, ayur means “life” and veda means “science” or “knowledge”. Originating from the teachings of the Rishis, or great sages of the Himalayas, it was developed through careful observation of nature and the five elements: water, earth, fire, air and space (ether).

Ayurveda is founded on the concept of the three doshas Vata, Pitta and Kapha, each composed of two elements.

Everyone is born with their own combination of doshas, often with one or two that are dominant. The aim of Ayurveda is to live in harmony with your natural constitution, to understand what helps you stay healthy, happy and maintain beautiful skin, and to recognise what may disturb your balance or lead to illness or unhappiness.

To keep the constitution in balance, it is advisable to choose activities, foods or plants that counter the qualities of the dominant doshas and help soothe them. Bitter orange belongs to the Rutaceae family. In Ayurveda, its bark is valued for its stimulating properties. This Bitter Orange Powder is also recognised for its astringent and toning cosmetic benefits. When incorporated into skincare products, it contributes to a fresh and radiant complexion. It is recommended for oily or blemish-prone skin, as it helps to cleanse the skin thoroughly. In hair preparations, it enhances shine, softness and suppleness while helping to strengthen the hair.
