Muscle aches, stiffness and general tension respond well to a consistent Ayurvedic massage oil routine. Here is a grounded look at what this one does and how to use it.

What makes this oil different

It combines cold-pressed Black Sesame, Mustard and Wintergreen oils with precious herbs like Renuka and Eucalyptus, and is free from parabens, sulphates, silicones, synthetic colors, alcohol and mineral oils - suitable for all skin types, for both men and women.
