Nirgundi Ayurvedic Oil
Nirgundi Ayurvedic Oil
Nirgundi Ayurvedic Oil
Nirgundi Ayurvedic Oil is crafted by infusing the leaves of Vitex negundo — known in Ayurveda as Nirgundi, and long valued for its traditional role in Ayurvedic massage and body care — into a nourishing sesame oil base.
Nirgundi leaves contain flavonoids, including casticin, along with iridoid glycosides and volatile terpene compounds, which have been studied for anti-inflammatory and analgesic properties. Traditionally, Nirgundi Oil has been used in Ayurvedic massage to help ease tired muscles, support comfort around joints, and promote a sense of relief after physical activity — though this reflects traditional Ayurvedic use rather than established clinical evidence, and individual results vary; this is a cosmetic ingredient rather than a substitute for medical treatment.
Its gentle, warming profile also makes it a popular addition to formulations aimed at supporting skin health and scalp conditioning, and it is traditionally considered a versatile oil for everyday body care.
Apply a few drops directly to the skin or scalp, massaging gently until absorbed, or use as part of a traditional Ayurvedic massage routine. For formulations, blend at 5–20% into massage oils, balms or hair products. Test small batches to perfect your recipe.
Botanical Name: Vitex negundo (Nirgundi) Leaf Infusion in Sesamum indicum (Sesame) Oil.
Safety information: for external use only — not intended for ingestion. As the base is sesame oil, those with a sesame allergy should avoid use. Vitex negundo has not been established as safe for use during pregnancy, so as a precaution this product is not recommended for use during pregnancy without first consulting a doctor. As with any natural oil, a small number of people may experience individual sensitivity. A patch test is recommended before first use — see the Safety Data Sheet and Ingredient & Allergen Statement in the Product Documents section below for full detail.
