Nīla Soma

A Lunar Balm for Skin & Spirit

Nila Soma is a seasonal, lunar balm — a living infusion born from over a decade of lineage, devotion, and ritual. Rooted in Ayurvedic wisdom and crafted during sacred planetary windows, this nectar of the moon is steeped in blue-hued botanicals, wild-harvested flowers, and golden resins that whisper to the nervous system and calm the currents of the doshas.

Each small batch is alchemized under the moon’s gaze, capturing a veil of soma — the cooling, bliss-giving essence said to restore vitality and inner peace. Melted into the skin post-bath or before rest, it invites the body to soften and the heart to remember.
