Malkangni Oil is extracted from the mature seeds of Celastrus Paniculatus, traditionally known as Malkangni or Jyotishmati in Ayurvedic literature and regional markets. The oil is obtained from seed kernels using cold-pressed extraction to preserve its natural color, aroma, and properties.

Ayurvedic Properties & Common Uses

In Ayurveda, Jyotishmati is described as Ushna and Teekshna in nature, traditionally incorporated into external oil applications and wellness formulations. Malkangni Oil is commonly used in massage oils, scalp applications, and traditional herbal blends as part of routine practices.
