Hello, I'm Ema Tanioku. I usually work as a model with my twin sister, Eri. I'm sharing beauty information on Instagram and YouTube, utilizing my qualifications as an aromatherapy and aroma blend designer!

In the first part, Eri explained Ayurveda as a philosophy that can be easily adopted by anyone, fitting seamlessly into daily life. This time, I want to share the allure of aroma.

My family runs a flower and plant shop, and I grew up surrounded by plants and flowers from a young age.

Feeling vaguely anxious. Concerned about what others think. Unsure of my true self. Tired from work. These were all things I struggled with, and it was then that I discovered aromatherapy. Since then, I've been able to return to my true self and enjoy each day immensely.

Aromatherapy is generally understood as something to alleviate physical and mental discomfort, but it offers more than that; it conveys wonderful messages to us. It can become an opportunity to understand yourself more deeply by asking: what scents do I like or dislike in my current situation?

Helped by scent, I wanted to support others facing similar struggles, so I launched the skincare brand MANOROL. MANOROL delivers items that focus on the power of scent from "essential oils," which are concentrated with the energy of plants and flowers. We create them with the desire to fill your heart with scents that make you want to take a deep breath, helping you return to your true self.

There are three types of lotions and creams, each created based on Ayurvedic principles.

In Ayurveda, it is believed that humans have three vital energies called "Vata," "Pitta," and "Kapha." These three types of energy are known as doshas. By balancing these doshas to their optimal state for each individual, one's mind is kept healthy.

"Mental Stability"
I wanted to help people establish a strong sense of self, unswayed by others. Therefore, I blended scents like cedarwood, which is said to anchor you firmly to the earth, the elegant frankincense, lavender, and tea tree.

"Bringing Out Individuality"
I blended damask rose, said to be themed around "love and forgiveness" and accepting oneself wholly, with the refreshing scent of geranium, hoping to bring out each person's innate individuality and charm. Scutellaria baicalensis root extract supports anti-inflammatory action, leading to firm skin.

"Restoring Brightness and Purity"
I blended orange sweet, with its bright, fresh scent, with the refreshing forest-like aroma of tea tree and lemongrass, and benzoin. The scent of orange sweet is said to inspire an exciting feeling of "Let's enjoy life and make it abundant!" when engaging actively with others. Aloe ferox leaf extract provides moisture and leads to refined skin texture. All types feature a gentle, all-encompassing aroma.

Let's return to our true selves and enjoy fulfilling days with the blessings of aroma from nature.
