Essential oils are highly concentrated volatile plant compounds obtained through steam distillation or cold pressing, embodying the sara (essence) of the plant. Though not traditional in classical Ayurveda, they align well with Ayurvedic principles through their potent prabhava (specific action), sookshma (subtle) nature, and ability to quickly affect the manas (mind) and prana (life force). Essential oils are generally tiksna (sharp) and ushna or sheetala in virya, used externally for abhyanga (massage), nasya (nasal therapy), dhupana (fumigation), or aromatherapy. They influence doshas through sensory pathwaysoften calming vata, invigorating kapha, or cooling pittaand are widely used for emotional balance, skin support, and respiratory wellness.
