What’s Your Dosha? Discover the Perfect Candle for Your Ayurvedic Type
At AyurLight Candles, we believe that scent should do more than just smell good, it should support your whole being. That’s why our aromatherapy candles are crafted with Ayurvedic wisdom to help restore mind-body balance through the power of scent.
In Ayurveda, your dosha—your unique mind-body constitution—guides how you interact with the world. Knowing your dosha helps you select essential oils and natural candles that bring you back to center.
Let’s explore how each dosha responds to scent, and how to find your ideal Ayurvedic candle.
