Pure Oils

This is the same classical Tila Taila that Ayurveda has relied on for thousands of years, now available in the volumes that professional practice demands. Art of Vedas Sesame Oil is cold-pressed and unrefined, offered in 1 litre and 5 litre formats for practitioners, clinics and Panchakarma centres who go through oil at a pace that smaller bottles cannot sustain.

The Charaka Samhita calls sesame oil the foremost among all oils. The Sushruta Samhita and Ashtanga Hridayam confirm it as the primary medium for Abhyanga, Shirodhara, Snehana and countless medicated oil preparations. When the classical texts speak of Taila without further qualification, they mean sesame. It carries inherent Ushna Virya (warming potency) and Guru, Snigdha Gunas (heavy, unctuous qualities), making it the classical choice for Vata pacification and the base in which most Thailams are prepared.

Use it for full-body Abhyanga, Shirodhara preparation, Snehana protocols, custom oil blends, or as a daily self-care oil. The 1-litre bottle suits a home practice or smaller clinic; the 5-litre format is designed for busy treatment rooms.

Few oils in the Ayurvedic tradition carry the depth and versatility of castor oil. Known as Eranda Taila, it is one of the most frequently referenced oils across the classical texts. The Charaka Samhita identifies Eranda as the foremost herb among those that pacify Vata Dosha, noting its Ushna Virya (warming potency) and its remarkable ability to penetrate into the fine tissue channels of the body. Where sesame oil is the king of full-body massage, Eranda Taila holds its own distinct place: thick, deeply penetrating and uniquely suited for targeted, localized application.

Art of Vedas Organic Castor Oil is cold-pressed from certified organic castor seeds (Ricinus communis) without hexane, chemical solvents or artificial processing. The result is a pure, unrefined oil with a rich golden colour and the characteristic viscosity that practitioners and self-care enthusiasts rely on. Its thick consistency means it stays where you apply it, making it ideal for joints, lower back, shoulders, dry skin areas, and scalp and hair care.

Apply a small amount to the area and massage with slow, circular motions. For scalp care, massage gently into the scalp and leave for thirty to sixty minutes before washing. A little goes a long way.

In the classical Ayurvedic tradition, sesame oil holds a singular place. Known as Tila Taila, it is referred to in the Charaka Samhita as the foremost among oils, valued above all others for its ability to nourish tissues, calm the nervous system and support the body's natural equilibrium. The Sushruta Samhita and Ashtanga Hridayam confirm it as the primary oil for Abhyanga (traditional warm oil body massage), citing its unique capacity to penetrate all seven tissue layers when applied with steady, rhythmic strokes.

Art of Vedas Organic Sesame Oil is cold-pressed from certified organic sesame seeds, preserving the full spectrum of natural fatty acids, antioxidants and sesame lignans. No chemical solvents, hexane processing or artificial refinement. Its inherently warming quality (Ushna Virya) makes it the classical choice for pacifying Vata Dosha, the principle most easily disturbed by cold weather, stress and irregular routines.

For practitioners, this oil serves as the traditional base for Abhyanga, Shirodhara preparation and Snehana protocols. For personal self-care, warm a small amount in your palms, massage from head to toe using long strokes on the limbs and circular movements over the joints, and allow fifteen to twenty minutes of absorption before bathing.
