Ashwagandha Oil, Withania somnifera Herbal Infused Oil in Sesame or Coconut Base for Body Massage, Scalp Oils and Ayurvedic Formulations

Quick answer: Ashwagandha Oil is a traditional Ayurvedic herbal oil made by infusing the root of ashwagandha (Withania somnifera) in a base of sesame oil or coconut oil. It has an earthy, herbal smell and is used in body massage oils, scalp oils and Ayurvedic-style personal care products. It comes in 100 ml and 500 ml bottles for home use and 1 kg to 25 kg packs for brands and bulk buyers.

Ashwagandha, also known as Indian ginseng or winter cherry, is one of the most widely used herbs in Ayurveda. Ashwagandha oil is an infused oil, made by cooking or steeping the herb in a carrier oil, and it is a traditional choice for abhyanga, the Ayurvedic practice of self-massage with warm oil. RV Organica prepares and packs it at our facility in Nimbri, Panipat, Haryana.

What is ashwagandha oil and how is it made?

Ashwagandha, Withania somnifera, is a small woody shrub of the nightshade family that grows in the dry regions of India. To make the oil, the dried root is infused in a base carrier oil, sesame or coconut, and the oil is then filtered. It is not a pressed oil and not an essential oil.

The finished oil carries the fatty acids of its base oil along with natural compounds from the root, including withanolides. Because it is an infused product, its colour and scent can vary a little from batch to batch. The COA for your batch confirms its base oil and values.

What does ashwagandha oil feel and smell like?

Ashwagandha oil is a pale yellow to brownish yellow oil with a characteristic earthy, herbal and slightly animal-like smell, which is where the name comes from (ashwa means horse in Sanskrit). It has the light-to-medium feel of its base oil.

How do you use ashwagandha oil for body massage?

Warm the oil gently and massage it into the skin with long strokes on the limbs and circular strokes on the joints, as in traditional abhyanga. Leave it on for 15 to 30 minutes before a warm bath or shower. It blends well with brahmi oil and plain sesame oil, and essential oils such as lavender can be added for scent using our essential oil dilution calculator. Do a patch test first.

Can you use ashwagandha oil for the scalp and in formulations?

Yes. It can be massaged into the scalp as part of a traditional hair oiling routine, on its own or with bhringraj oil and coconut oil. Ayurvedic and personal care brands use it in massage oils, body oils and scalp oils. Our herbal hair oils collection has other herbal oils to combine with it.

Is ashwagandha oil safe to use?
