After the Healing Range was developed, Nikorn and Dorinda joined body, mind and soul and worked on the Thai Traditional Range. "This range contains all of the things about Thailand," says Nikorn They were named: Sawat Dee (hello - a greeting); Chok Dee (to be lucky); Khawp Khun (thank you); Sabai-Sabai (to feel free); Mee Cheewit Cheewa (to be full of life); Arom Dee (to be in good mood); Suk Jai (peaceful heart); Mee Kwan Suk (be happy); Jai Yen (calm heart); Jai Dee (generosity).

Dorinda knew how important it was to cleanse our body, not only from the inside, but the outside too, and took the Thai herbs used to cleanse internally and developed products that extracted toxins through the skin. "My philosophy is that what cleanses the body internally, also cleanses externally." With her knowledge of Ayurveda and other Asian herbs, she used the Thai herbs in traditional ways. For instance, to cleanse their bodies internally, the Thai people eat Tom Yum soup, and use roots, herbs, blossoms and leaves in many Thai foods for this purpose. Dorinda experimented with all types of gingers and Thai herbs that caused the body to heat and

herbs that cooled down the body. She chose a selection of these Thai traditional herbs and experimented with different scrubs. "Yes, this is how we began with the Thai herbal scrubs that you will find in Tom Yum soup and in a lot of the foods" says Dorinda. "We adapted the scrubs in a way that smelt nice, so it didn't smell like you were putting food on your skin". She made the scrubs simple 'n easy; only add hot water. The heating scrubs are the yang, sun energies that contain tumeric, plie and tamarind, which are the orange, firey colours used to dye the robes for Buddhist monks. Dorinda balanced the Yang sun heat with the Ancient Thai Scrub, a cooling, gentle "yin" scrub with the radiance of the moon's softness. Thus, came the first two Thai Traditional scrubs balanced with the essence of the Sun and the Moon.

Once Dorinda and Nikorn perfected the heating and cooling scrubs, four others came after it, all containing mixes of similar things. The Thai white mud which is locally called Bin Soor Poong was used by people to protect themself from sunburn. "You'll see Thais put this on their body, all over their face and ride around on their motorcycles," explains Dorinda. "Thai white mud pulls out toxins and is great for a hang-over", laughs Nikorn with his big radiant smile. "The Thai white mud is the Thai earth," he continues. Dorinda knows that this white mud draws out any sickness and heat from the body and the Thais use this gift from the earth to heal themselves.

Dorinda created very soft Body Masks to leave on the body using the Chinese Calin clay, which is also a white mud, ". . . and such a beautiful soft clay," she says. Two more clays were made as facial masks and whole body masks.

The last product of the Thai Traditional Range to be created was the Rung Gai body scrub. "This product, with it's rich cream base that contains blends of oils that we use as a base in all our oils," explains Dorinda. Rung Gai means "the body" in Thai and is strong as it's like a deodorant lemon grass . . . "We Thai people do not smell because of the lemon grass in our food, as it deodorizes the body; that's why we don't smell!!" chuckles Nikorn. Dorinda laughs with Nikorn as they turn into instant teenagers looking at each other in the eyes, like true soul-mates. "Yes", says Dorinda, "We have a base we use for all of our oils: apricot, jojoba, macadamia, wheatgerm, sesame, sweet almond, sunflower, evening primrose and canola.
