Ayurvedic Cold Extracted Oils – Pure Wellness from Ancient India

At the heart of Ayurveda lies a deep understanding of balance — between body, mind, and nature. One of the cornerstones of this ancient Indian system of wellness is the use of pure, unrefined oils for nourishment, healing, detoxification, and spiritual vitality. SutraKart brings you a premium collection of Ayurvedic cold extracted oils, pressed using traditional wooden churners (lakdi ghani) to preserve their natural essence and therapeutic value.

What Are Ayurvedic Cold Pressed Oils?

Ayurvedic cold extracted oils are made by pressing seeds and nuts at low temperatures (below 45°C) using wooden churners. This method ensures the oil retains its full nutritional and energetic properties — essential for its effectiveness in Ayurveda. Unlike refined oils, which lose their pranic energy, cold pressed oils nourish the ojas (vital life force), lubricate the srotas (body channels), and pacify the doshas (Vata, Pitta, and Kapha).

SutraKart’s Ayurvedic oils are extracted fresh in small batches and are 100% chemical-free, unrefined, and untouched by high-heat processing. They can be used for cooking, abhyanga (self-massage), oil pulling, nasya (nasal therapy), haircare, and more.

Benefits of Ayurvedic Oils for Modern Living

1. Nourishment for Body and Mind

Ayurvedic cold extracted oils are rich in essential fatty acids, antioxidants, vitamins, and phytonutrients. These compounds are crucial for maintaining healthy skin, strong hair, sharp memory, balanced hormones, and strong immunity. Whether consumed or applied externally, the oils deliver deep nourishment and cellular repair.

2. Dosha Balancing

Each oil carries specific qualities that can help balance different doshas:

• Sesame Oil: Warming, grounding — balances Vata and Kapha.
• Coconut Oil: Cooling — pacifies Pitta, soothes inflammation.
• Mustard Oil: Stimulating — awakens Agni (digestive fire), detoxifies.
• Neem Oil: Cleansing — purifies blood and skin, anti-fungal.
• Castor Oil: Lubricating — supports elimination, softens joints.

These properties are only retained when the oil is extracted gently and naturally — without refining or heating.

Our Ayurvedic Oils – Applications & Uses

1. Abhyanga (Daily Oil Massage)

One of the most revered Ayurvedic rituals, abhyanga involves applying warm oil to the body to stimulate lymph flow, relieve muscular tension, improve skin tone, and calm the nervous system. SutraKart's sesame oil is ideal for Vata types, coconut oil for Pitta, and mustard oil for Kapha. Regular abhyanga helps maintain youthfulness, strength, and mental clarity.

2. Oil Pulling (Kavala / Gandusha)

Oil pulling involves swishing oil in the mouth for 5–15 minutes to detoxify the oral cavity, strengthen gums, whiten teeth, and improve overall digestive and metabolic health. Cold extracted sesame or coconut oil is ideal for this purpose. SutraKart offers both in pure, chemical-free form — tested for oral safety and freshness.

3. Nasya (Nasal Oil Therapy)

For those suffering from frequent sinus issues, headaches, or mental fog, nasya therapy involves gently applying warm sesame oil or medicated ghee to the nasal passages. It clears accumulated Kapha, lubricates nasal tissues, and sharpens mental faculties. Only oils that are free from solvents and toxins are safe for nasya — SutraKart ensures this purity.

4. Cooking & Nutrition

Ayurveda recommends cooking only with oils that enhance agni (digestive fire) and aid in nutrient absorption. Refined oils are considered tamasic and harmful. Cold pressed mustard oil, groundnut oil, and sesame oil are excellent for Indian dishes like khichdi, saag, sabzi, and even sweets like laddoos and halwa.

5. Hair & Scalp Care

Regular oiling with Ayurvedic oils like bhringraj, coconut, or castor oil strengthens hair roots, prevents greying, reduces dandruff, and enhances shine. SutraKart offers cold pressed hair care oils enriched with herbal infusions — all prepared using wooden churners and no mineral oil base.

Why Wooden Ghani Extraction Matters

Wooden cold pressing involves slow rotation of a wooden pestle inside a wooden drum filled with seeds. This age-old process:

• Prevents nutrient loss due to heat
• Maintains therapeutic volatile compounds
• Preserves subtle energy (prana) of the oil
• Ensures oils are not oxidized during extraction

This method was prescribed in Ayurvedic texts like the Charaka Samhita and Sushruta Samhita, where oils were viewed as both food and medicine.

Farm to Bottle – Clean, Honest, Transparent

We partner with local farmers in Kerala, Tamil Nadu, Rajasthan, and Assam who grow native seeds like black sesame, yellow mustard, coconuts, and neem. All seeds are sun-dried, hand-cleaned, and checked for purity before extraction. There are no solvents, no white-labeling, and no bulk processing.

Our production units operate under strict hygiene guidelines, and each batch is traceable by source, date, and seed variety. The result: therapeutic grade oils made with love and care.

Packaging That Preserves Purity

Oils are packed in food-safe, BPA-free HDPE bottles or recyclable glass jars, depending on the oil type and its sensitivity to light. We avoid metal tins, which may react with oils, and plastic pouches, which degrade the quality. Each bottle is sealed airtight to preserve its aroma, texture, and shelf life.

Common Ailments Supported by Our Oils

• Joint Pain & Stiffness: Castor oil, sesame oil massages
• Acne & Skin Disorders: Neem oil, coconut oil application
• Constipation: Castor oil (oral dosage – under guidance)
• Insomnia & Anxiety: Sesame oil abhyanga before bedtime
