Our beginning
Our founder grew up surrounded by scents since she was a little girl. She remembers instances of pure joy, jumping into piles of flowers which were collected to be steam-distilled into rose water, or mogra water. An artistry her family has been crafting for more than a century, 110 years to be precise. She loved her time in rolling down grass-laden hills, or even talking to plants.
However, as she grew up and started working in cities, as adults mostly do, she felt a disconnect from nature. She loved working in films, but the high stress environments led to physical and mental health issues in the people around her.
Even then, an escape to a lush green place brought her peace. This led her to shift bases to one of the greener states of India, Goa, where she studied nature even more deeply, aided by the study of Aromatherapy.
With her ancestral background in fragrances and her study in Aromatherapy, she decided to start something which would bring these blessings of nature closer to us.
​
Even today, she always finds magic in nature, she still works with her camera and enjoys the little details when out for a walk.
How much a little sunshine can do for us?

HEALING POWERS OF NATURE
The science.
Being in nature increases dopamine and serotonin in our brains – chemicals that are associated with an improved sense of satisfaction and motivation. Nature reduces anger, stress, and aggression. It promotes a sense of community, it promotes healthy babies. Nature is a powerful antidepressant.No big words needed, go to a place with trees and just be for sometime, feel it yourself.
The inherent power of nature to create, heal, restore balance.
​
The intelligent force of life – one that strives for balance and health, one that can heal us.
It is in our bodies.
It is in our food.
It is in our plant medicine.
It is an inherent force in our natural world.
The science.
Scents bypass the thalamus and go straight to the brain's smell center, known as the olfactory bulb.It is our most primitive sense and yet is one of the most powerful senses that cannot be turned off. The olfactory bulb is directly connected to the amygdala and hippocampus, which might explain why the smell of something can so immediately trigger a detailed memory or even intense emotion.
POWER OF THE SENSE OF SMELL
Your sense of smell enriches your experience of the world around you.
​
Different scents can change your mood, transport you back to a distant memory, and may even help you bond with loved ones. Your ability to smell also plays a key role in your health.
The science.
Essential oils are derived from any plant parts like flowers, leaves, fruits, or even the resin from the bark of the tree. They are derived through steam- distillation or cold-pressing methods, and the tiresome process leaves us with the very essence of the plant - and hence its powers to heal, revive, grow.
Many essential oils act on your brain, nervous system, and muscles to promote feelings of comfort and relaxation.
Lavender, for example, affects the parasympathetic nervous system and helps regulate bodily processes such as heart rate, breathing, and hormones.
AROMATHERAPY
Aromatherapy is a way of absorbing the healing powers of nature through the power of scent.

ANCIENT MEDICINE
Essential oils and floral distillates are the inherent essence of plants and flowers. The technique of extracting essential oils and floral waters - distillation - is centuries old. In fact, the first ever recorded process of distillation is as early as 1200BC.
Herbs were the original ancient medicine, used in certain proportions and combinations to heal.
