Overheated, inflamed, or out of balance? Let cooling botanicals and timeless rituals restore your calm.

Long days under the sun. City heat, late nights, long-haul travel, emotional intensity—whatever your summer looks like, your skin feels it first. Redness, breakouts, irritation, puffiness, restlessness... these are more than surface-level symptoms—they’re signs of excess heat (what Ayurveda calls Pitta) showing up in your body, your mood, and even your sleep. 

Modern life rarely offers us moments to cool down. But Ayurveda does.

Size: 6.7 fl oz / 200mL



How To Use

Warm a few drops between your palms. Inhale deeply. Massage into your skin using light, rhythmic strokes—beginning at the ears and neck, moving inward toward the heart. Use circular motions around joints and long strokes along muscles. This is your moment to support lymphatic flow, nourish your tissues, and release tension.

Pro tip: Apply after a cold shower or swim for a deeply refreshing reset.

Pair it with: Surya’s Cooling Bath Soak for a spa-level ritual at home.

    Lovely!

    I tried the cooling and the calming oil. While I loved them both, the cooling oil is my favorite. I love the refreshing peppermint smell!

    Nourishing and sensual

    Marthas recipes are loyal to the ancient texts of Aryuveda but also have that added ingredient that she brings to the process, her signature touch results in a well balanced subtly blended oil that feels like a beauty product but which also has the weight of an ancient lineage of medicine behind it. I treasure this oil and use it sparingly as and when I feel my fie element is in need of a little balancing. I find that it works a treat and would recommend it to anyone who has the tendency to feel a bit riled up and burned out by the stresses and strains of our crazy modern world.
