Harness the Science of Life with In Fiore
The Ayurvedic Practice of Full Body Oiling
In Sanskrit, Ayurveda means the 'science of life,' a principle at the heart of In Fiore. Our products are predominantly oil-based, making it effortless to integrate Ayurvedic practices into your daily routine and balance your dosha.
Why Choose Oils?
Founder Julie Elliott's dedication to Ayurveda led her to create a line of oil-based botanical solutions and body balms. She explains, "Oils are lipophilic, allowing them to penetrate the skin's lipid layer quickly, preventing water loss, plumping the skin, and improving skin tolerance while offering free-radical protection. They are also perfect carriers for delivering essential nutrients deep into the skin to the collagen-producing cells.
"Our body care products are infused with unique aromas, providing sensorial and psychospiritual benefits for a fully integrated mind-body experience. Essential oils interact directly with the energy plane through the sense of smell and wave resonance, enhancing the flow of vital chi through the body's meridians and channels."
Long Life, Good Sleep & Healthy Skin
The Benefits of Abhyanga
Abhyanga, a Sanskrit word meaning "glow" (Aba) and "limbs" (Anga), is the Ayurvedic practice of full body self-massage. Ancient texts highlight its impressive benefits:
"It wards off old age symptoms and exertion, bestows good vision, provides nourishment to the body, equips one with a long life, good sleep, and healthy skin."
Using freshly infused, botanical solution or body balm for your daily Abhyanga can:
• Strengthen the body
• Impart firmness to the limbs
• Tone and vitalize tissues
• Nourish the body
• Increase longevity
• Improve sleep patterns
• Strengthen tolerance and immunity
• Stimulate circulation
These benefits synergize to minimize the effects of aging.
Ayurveda teaches that the body has seven dhatus or layers of tissue, each more concentrated and life-giving. To reach the deepest layer, massage the oil into your body for 800 matras (about 5 minutes). Given daily stresses, we recommend at least 15 minutes of intense massage. Don't forget the feet – oiling them benefits tissues, veins, and ligaments, alleviates stiffness and fatigue, strengthens and firms them, and enhances vision.
Incorporating the Ayurvedic practice of full body oiling into your daily routine can transform your skin and overall well-being. Embrace this time-honored tradition with In Fiore.
