SANJULA - Yoga and Ayurveda

AYURVEDIC WISDOM – AUSTRALIAN BOTANICALS

According to the ancient Indian healing system of AYURVEDA, the mental, physical and spiritual tendencies of an individual can be classified according to three elemental groupings known as DOSHAS. Determined at birth, each of us is constituted of a unique ratio of these doshas known as; vata (air), pitta (fire) and kapha (earth). For optimum health we need to maintain our unique doshic combinations. This means we need to be in touch with the way environmental stresses can upset these doshic ratios.

Australian Aborigines have always understood the importance of honouring the environment and the cycles of nature for wellbeing. Like ayurveda, Aborigines acknowledge, utilise and respect the healing properties of plants. Australian bush flowers have long been used by the Aboriginal people for emotional as well as physical wellbeing. In honour of ancient ayurvedic and Australian Aboriginal wisdom, SANJULA offers a range of products to encourage an holistic approach to health and beauty. SANJULA’s range of skin-care products is based on the ayurvedic understanding of the doshas combined with the healing properties of essential oils, sourced as much as possible from Australian botanicals.

SANJULA is a Hindi word meaning “beautiful”. Beauty, as we know, is not simply skin deep. It is an expression of physical, mental and spiritual harmony. SANJULA also produces a range of organic cotton yoga clothes, cotton mats and other accessories to nurture one’s inner beauty.

This holistic approach is a commonality between traditional indigenous healing systems of India and Australia (and most other ancient healing systems of the world). SANJULA seeks to highlight an underlying unity in our diversity and, in doing so, inspire in us a new level of respect for one another and this planet we share.
