Vernacular Names & Parts Used

Nirgundi Oil is extracted from the seeds of Vitex Negundo, commonly referred to as Nirgundi or Sambhalu in traditional markets. The oil is prepared using cold-pressed extraction from mature seeds to retain its natural aroma and characteristic properties.

Ayurvedic Properties & Common Uses

In Ayurvedic literature, Nirgundi is described as Ushna and Vata-balancing in nature, traditionally incorporated into external oil applications. Nirgundi Oil is commonly used in massage oils, herbal liniments, and wellness formulations as part of daily or seasonal routines.

Traditional practices recommend warming the oil slightly before external application and using it as directed by classical texts or experienced practitioners. Proper storage in a cool, dry place helps maintain oil purity and effectiveness.
