Ayurvedic heater for oil massages

This heater was handmade and all the enamels used are lead-free . It is used to heat the oil during Ayurvedic massages : light a tea light candle and place it in the lower part of the heater, while the desired oil is placed in the jug with the addition of any essential oils. It keeps the barely warm oil at a comfortable temperature for the skin throughout the massage.

Produced by Flame in Auroville, an international community in southern India near Pondicherry. The fine products of local artisans reflect a fusion of indigenous and Western influences from this once French-occupied region.

Himalaya was born in 1989 with the aim of bringing extremely natural products, rich in tradition and culture, from ancient Ayurvedic wisdom, but also from traditional Italian phytotherapy. For this reason, from the beginning it looked to India , which for millennia has worked with a careful and respectful philosophy of human beings and the environment. From the beginning, the founders of Himalaya turned to the Auroville project, the international city created to be the evolutionary laboratory inspired by the integral yoga of Sri Aurobindo. The involvement has often turned into real economic and operational support , in the creation of the Tibetan Pavilion, which today is one of the liveliest realities of the Indian city, and for the activities of Auroville Village Action Group, for a project against the exploitation of child labor , which aims to train children and re-enter the working world at the right age.
