About the Artisan
Mudra is a Sanskrit term meaning seal or sign. In Buddhist rituals, mudras are mostly performed as gestures of the hand and are conducted in order to influence the body’s flow of energy and positively affect the mind.
As these natural balms, salves and perfumes were likewise created with the hand with the aim of vitalizing the body and mind, Mudra was deemed an appropriate name for the products.
