Essence and goodness of herbs is absorbed in oils to make Ayurvedic herbal oils. Sesame oil, coconut oil, castor oil OR combinations of such oils are used as base oils. Herbs are made into juice, paste, decoctions and are mixed into the oils. This mixture along with some whole herbs is boiled on a low flame for hours and hours so that the water part is evaporated and the oil takes all properties of herbs. The oil is then filtered carefully and stored.
Sometimes this process of boiling the oils with herbs is repeated again and again to intensify the effect of oils further. These special oils are called “Avarti taila” e.g. Bala (25) Avarti, Kshirabala (101) Avarti, etc.
Ayurvedic oils stay stable much longer then the basic oils. They become more effective due to herbs in them. They get absorbed in the skin better. Their penetration and absorption power is more in comparison with basic oils.
Ayurvedic oils are used for internal and external usage. They are used externally for various treatments like massage, as nasal drops, enema (Basti), Pinda swedana (herbal ball massage), Shirodhara (oil drip on head) and Pizzichil (Pouring oil all over body), etc
