This "inner fortress" is built from botanicals symbolizing wisdom, strength, and order. The top note of Cardamom is known in Ayurveda as a "clarifier of thought." The heart of Lavender, from the Latin lavare ("to wash"), symbolizes purity and peace. The solid base is a trinity of Sandalwood (the Meditative Sage), Patchouli (the Grounded Mystic), and Vetiver (the Master of Tranquil Meditation), which together construct a stable, serene mental space fortified against external disturbances.
