The Classical Ayurvedic Massage Oil of Ashwagandha, Boswellia & Turmeric
Mahanarayan Oil is the classical Ayurvedic massage oil, often called the King of Oils, for stiff joints, tired muscles and easy movement. Ashwagandha, boswellia, turmeric, valerian and shatavari are among 51 herbs infused into sesame oil, following the traditional Mahanarayan recipe.
The Herbs
Mahanarayan Oil, the ‘King’ of Ayurvedic Oils, brings together three groups of herbs traditionally used in Ayurvedic massage. Circulatory herbs ease stiffness and encourage healthy local circulation. Calming herbs settle muscle spasms and tension. Nourishing ingredients care for connective tissues. Together they make an oil for comfortable, easy movement.
To Ease Stiffness
Turmeric Root (Curcuma longa): Traditionally used to support healthy local circulation, comfortable joints and the body's natural inflammatory response.
Boswellia (Boswellia carterii): An aromatic resin traditionally valued for comfortable joints, healthy connective tissues and the body's natural inflammatory response.
Ashwagandha Root (Withania somnifera): A renowned Ayurvedic herb traditionally valued for muscular resilience and easing physical fatigue.
Rosemary Leaf Oil (Rosmarinus officinalis): A warming aromatic oil traditionally used to encourage circulation and ease muscular stiffness after activity.
To Calm
Valerian Root (Valeriana wallichii): Traditionally relied upon to ease muscle spasms and restless legs, settle overactive nerves and promote physical relaxation.
Lavender Oil (Lavandula angustifolia): A calming oil traditionally used to promote relaxation and ease muscular tension during massage.
To Nourish
Shatavari (Asparagus racemosus): A classical Ayurvedic herb traditionally used to nourish connective tissues and support healthy joint lubrication.
Sesame Seed Oil (Sesamum indicum): The traditional base of Ayurvedic massage oils, rich and nourishing, carrying the herbs into the skin during massage.
Why an Ayurvedic Massage Oil?
Mahanarayan follows one of Ayurveda's most respected classical recipes. Rather than relying on a single herb, it brings together 51, decocted and infused into sesame oil, to be massaged in as part of Abhyanga, the Ayurvedic practice of self-massage.
