Origin & Lore

Nirvana is the goal of Buddhist practice, the end of craving and of the cycle of rebirth. This oil borrows the name for meditation and transcendence: moving past ordinary worry into a stiller state of mind. Use it to anoint the brow, the meditation space and candles.

Nirvana literally means blowing out, the way a flame goes out when its fuel is gone.

The word nirvana comes from Sanskrit, and early Buddhist texts compare it to a fire going out when its fuel is used up. In those texts it is described more by what it is not than by what it is: not burning, not craving, not bound.
