Essential Oils
100% Pure and Organic
No Pesticides or Other Harmful Additives
Natural Aromas Only

What is Dharti Pukare?  Dharti Pukare is a Hindi phrase that translates to “My Earth.”  It is also the name of a retail store in India featuring handmade goods, organic foods and other environmentally neutral products.



Why Dharti Pukare?  Dharti Pukare Essential Oils are produced using eco-friendly steam distillation and cold-press processes and are free of harmful additives and other diluting chemicals found in other essential oils.  These are 100% pure natural aromas procured from a biologically pure source.  Additionally, because these oils are bought on a large scale at Indian retail prices, the savings offered by the friendly USD – Rupee exchange rate are passed on to you.  


Who am I?  I'm a recent college graduate with a degree in International Relations who recently returned from a study abroad program in northern India.  My placement within that program was with the newly opened Dharti Pukare store, located in the state of Himachal Pradesh (located south of Jammu & Kashmir and north of Delhi).  I'm going to post some of the photos from my trip below.  The timings range from September - December 2010.
