Kalya is a Sanskrit word meaning "healthy, well and able" and this is exactly the aim of Tanya De Leersnyder, aromatherapist and co-founder of Kalya, in creating her range of aromatherapy oils and creams.  The products are handmade by her in Stroud.   "Kalya products are for family health and well being and are made from the highest quality 100% pure essential oils.  The base cream is Soil Association approved, pure & nourishing, and all oil blends are almond oil with just a little wheat germ oil as a natural preservative. We wanted to treat all those common family ailments, such as skin problems, sore joints & muscles, coughs and colds or headaches, naturally, together with creating a wonderful way to relax or feel energised during our busy lives."
