The effects of the oils

At Het Sattvahuys, I work with high-quality oils, including medicinal Tailas (Ayurvedic herbal oils) and biodynamic oils from anthroposophy. Each oil has its own unique properties tailored to the needs of the body and mind. We discuss the energetic Tailas from Holisan, the soothing Pitta, Vata, and Kapha oils from Lakshmi, the harmonizing Moor Lavender oil from Dr. Hauschka, the nurturing Pregnancy oil from Weleda, and the unique oils from Wikkelfee, such as the Gold Rose Lavender Massage Oil and the Turmeric Rose oil. Discover how these natural oils contribute to well-being and balance during treatments at Het Sattvahuys.

1. Tailas: Medicinal Ayurvedic herbal oils from Holisan and Ayur Wellness

This series of Ayurvedic oils is traditionally prepared and aimed at balancing the three doshas: Vata, Pitta, and Kapha, as well as the "Satva Taila," which is suitable for all doshas and specially created to promote energy and cleanse the body.

• Satva taila: a refreshing, light oil that promotes clarity and energy. Satva Taila brings you into a "sattvic" state of being: a state of pure awareness, balance, and harmony. Ingredients such as trifala and guggulu help purify the body and are ideal for feelings of heaviness and lack of energy. The Satva Taila is characterized by a delightful fragrance that stimulates the senses.
• Vata taila: This nourishing and warming oil helps balance Vata energy, which represents air and ether. This oil is ideal for dry skin, promotes calmness and emotional stability, and helps hydrate the skin. The combination of lavender and fennel provides a relaxing, soothing effect.
• Pitta taila: A gentle and cooling oil, specially formulated to balance the fiery Pitta energy. The presence of Shatavari and Sariva helps soothe skin irritations and cools the body in the presence of heat. This oil is ideal for sensitive skin and supports the reduction of redness and inflammation.
• Kapha taila: With ingredients like neem and tulsi, this oil provides a stimulating effect and is especially effective in balancing the earth and water elements of Kapha. This oil regulates moisture and warms, making it ideal for skin prone to stagnation. The fresh aroma of deodara and mint offers a revitalizing effect.

2. Lakshmi Ayurvedic massage oils

The Lakshmi line also focuses on the doshas and offers massage oils specifically for Vata, Pitta, and Kapha. The oils from Lakshmi are characterized by delightful fragrances that stimulate the senses.

• Vata Stress-Free Life oil: a rich, nourishing oil with Indian basil and lavender that helps balance the mobility and nervousness of Vata energy. Ideal for dry or moisture-depleted skin, especially in cases of stress-related tension or overstimulation.
• Pitta Relaxation oil: this oil is cooling and soothing, ideal for elevated Pitta. It helps hydrate the skin and is perfect for skin that is sensitive to redness and eczema. With calming scents and herbs, this oil supports a peaceful, harmonious state of body and mind.
• Kapha Vitality oil: specifically designed for the Kapha constitution, this oil stimulates circulation and enhances vitality and energy. The warming ingredients, such as nutmeg and black pepper, help reduce Kapha stagnation and strengthen the skin's self-healing abilities.

3. Dr. Hauschka Moor Lavender oil

Dr. Hauschka Moor Lavender oil is a protective and soothing massage oil specifically designed to calm the body and mind. This oil is particularly suitable for individuals who need an extra layer of protection and tranquility, making it ideal for use during times of stress or nervousness. The formula contains moor extract and lavender, which together create a cocoon of warmth and safety. This makes the oil highly suitable for people with a sensitive nervous system, especially in the evening for a deep and restful sleep. Learn more about this special oil here. 

4. Wikkelfee: Turmeric oil and Gold, Rose, Lavender Massage Oil.

The oils from Wikkelfee are made in a special way and are perfect for wrapping and compress treatments, as well as for warmth and protection during the postpartum period.

• Turf oil roses: This "shielding oil" is protective and helps you feel and maintain your boundaries. Peat contains ancient remnants of sphagnum moss that have been preserved in bogs. A layer of peat ensures that the outside stays outside and the inside remains inside. When you burn peat, it reveals the warmth it carries. This oil, therefore, also has a warming effect. Door de toevoeging van rozenolie krijgt de olie een extra verzachtende werking en brengt deze olie je bij de liefdevolle energie van je hart. Ik zet deze olie in tijdens de post-partum massage wanneer het essentieel is dat de moeder warm blijft en de moeder bescherming te bieden tegen prikkels. Ook werkt de olie kalmerend bij stress en spanning.
• Gold, Rose, Lavender Massage Oil:: With 24-karat gold leaf, rose, and lavender oil, this oil has a harmonizing effect and helps bring balance to the heart. It is suitable for recovery and stress, as well as for those who benefit from a calm, harmonious effect. The oil can be applied after significant events or to support recovery processes. This oil is perfect for wrapping and compress treatments, especially for sensitive or highly sensitive individuals and during the postpartum period. 

5. Weleda Pregnancy Oil

This pregnancy oil is specially formulated to improve skin elasticity and help reduce the formation of stretch marks. The combination of almond oil, jojoba oil, and wheat germ oil provides intensive nourishment and supports the skin during the rapid changes that occur during pregnancy. With the subtle fragrance of rose and orange blossom, the oil is tailored to the sensitive sense of smell of pregnant women. Certified by Natrue, this oil guarantees natural and safe care during pregnancy.
