My Favorite Soap




My favorite soap is a jasmine scented soap from an ashram in India. It's a natural Ayurvedic soap that smells like fresh jasmine and not artificial flower scent. It's produced by the Santhigiri ashram based in Kerala, India. I can only get it twice a year when my husband goes to India, and it's worth it, since it's such a gentle soap with a soft jasmine smell and gentle on the skin. Made in the Ayurvedic tradition which is a traditional medicine of Indian origin which emphasizes plant based medicine. Since this soap is hard to find, I recommend another popular Ayurvedic brand called Himalaya which can be found here: http://store.himalayahealthcare.com/skincare/soaps.htm The Himalaya brand can also  be found in Indian shops in the U.S. and is a well known brand in India.
