The founders of Botanic Garden – Elena and Anastasya – on Ayurveda and few other important things

Anastasya – on the left, Elena – on the right
Elena:
What attracted me in Ayurveda is this idea: its main goal is not to achieve beauty and health, but to help us find inner peace and accordance with our self. Ayurveda sees sickness as a sign of internal contradictions in soul and mind. And these contradictions sooner or later end up with problems at the physical level.
To be healthy, we first need to achieve a peace of mind, a peace of soul and a harmonious coherence between thoughts, emotions and actions. If there is no peaceful tranquility inside of us and if we don’t feel that we are happy, then it’s not likely, that we will be healthy and beautiful. The beauty will come once peace sets in inside our soul and mind.
To follow Ayurvedic prescriptions, that harmonize our emotions, is not tricky – it is pleasant. For example, there a many simple tricks, that will rebalance Vata (a personality type that has a dry skin, the one who talks a lot, etc. – as I am for example). Just do more of this – enjoy more often watching sunrises, take warm baths, find time for a short afternoon nap, make light massage with sesame oil, inhale warm aromas (such as geranium, orange, thyme), listen to the hiss of sea waves, drink warm teas with soothing herbs. From my own experience I know how effective are those seemingly simple things. For many-many years I haven’t suffered from flu and similar illnesses thanks to the power of essential oils. I know that if nerves are starting to manifest themselves a little, it will be taken care of by a cup of lavender tea and a herbs-infused bath. As for the most extreme cases, a seaside trip will save me from any trouble.
Ayurveda doesn’t separate from each other our diet, way of life, work, natural environment, our deep down inner goals – a person is important as he or she is as an individual. The crucial idea of the Ayurveda science is that everything in the world is interconnected, and the whole is not just a sum of parts. The whole embraces all parts and each part is a reflection of the whole. Everything is interconnected and, at the same time, every creature, every something is unique and inimitable – be it a human, a flower or a tiny cell.
Anastasya:
I have instantly liked the idea of ‘eatable cosmetics’. This idea came to Botanic Garden from Ayurveda. Ayurveda is an approach, where we nourish and moisturize our skin with essential oils. Essential and base oils revitalize and renew our skin. They also regulate our mental state – taking away bad moods and depression, subtly regulating emotions.
I remember my very first experience of using essential oils. It was a highly stressful situation. I was breastfeeding and it wasn’t going well. My head kept splitting apart. I couldn’t take any medicines – too harmful and dangerous for the kid. And then Lena brought me some lavender essential oil. I started breathing it in and also rubbed a little into the skin around my temples. And then, behold a miracle! Migraines had gone for good, while milk stayed and breast-feeding restored to full capacity.
Wisdom of Ayurveda amazes me. The world is now moving towards personalized healthcare, to highly individualized selection of medicines and tools for preservation of health and balance. And Ayurveda has been doing it for more than 3000 years – offering differentiated approaches to be healthier, depending on the physical and mental constitution of a person. This principle of differentiation is also applied when nourishing and moisturizing the skin. All oils and their combinations possess certain effect and character, due to which they can be used not just for treatment of certain issues, but also for certain personality types in general.
As a conclusion, here’s a simple Ayurvedic recipe to have a wonderful start of the day. What can be more genial, simple and effective for a modern man or woman than a natural foot bath – regularly take early morning bare-feet walks over cool, dew-covered grass. This ritual refreshes body and soul in a big way.

REVIEWS

inna-zukInna Zuk, model and beauty specialist, Italy & Estonia:
"I’ve got to know your products through a Facebook prize draw.
I’ve won two aromatic oils (cornflower & sage and moisturizing face oil) and a creamy mask for eye area… and all that in fact happened on my birthday.
I couldn’t but fall in love… i’m that type of people, rare kind today by the way, for whom a scent is enough to fall in love with. Scent for me is highly important. Basically, my nose is my eyes.
I’ve begun using all of the mentioned right away and noticed that my skin started to change… besides before sleep I gently massage my face, so both oils and mask are a great sleeping aid as well.
I apply creamy mask for eye area all over my face… this mask is that good.
When I saw you were gonna be participating in the Design Market, I’ve had no doubts to come there and say thanks in person and obviously to buy more stuff. At the market I’ve also got free sample of your herbal composition for dry skin.
I, as a genuine appreciator of Ayurveda, was simply melting away from a completely recreated – you’ve made it! – ubtan experience…
Last week I did scrubbing twice… even though my skin is very sensitive (I guess, after being treated by your oils my skin’s sensitivity has turned into sensuality). And the final touch for my skin, which I honestly abuse and over-use all day long is lavender floral water. Oh yes, it’s so gorgeous.
Everything you do is simply magnificent. I can feel passion in every can and bottle.
With love, Inna Zuk."

"My new absolute favorite skin care brand! It calls Botanic Garden. My sister gave it to me as a present for International Women’s Day on March 8th (Thank you, sis !) Everything is hand-made, hand-picked, made in small bunches, no-chemicals, cruelty-free, gentle yet effective. I just LOVE this brand so much! Definitely check it out, and give it a try."

"A few weeks ago I switched face care products and problems began in the chin area. Before now I haven’t tried organic carrier oils and elixirs and thus didn’t know what to expect from the event and the products. Now since then I have been absolutely ecstatic about Botanic Garden products. In addition to the fact that my skin is cleansed and moisturised with organic products, the skin on my chin has seemingly got better."

"We spent today's evening surrounded by the aromas of essential oils. Botanic Garden had invited us to introduce their organic cosmetics, which are hand made with the Ayurveda's principles in mind, and to let us mix some intriguing serums. We are already excited about Botanic Garden's products and soon you'll probably find more information from quite a few blogs!"
