Unlike massage oils used in the West, Ayurvedic oils are specially crafted medicinal substances that can be used externally. The traditional procedure to make such oils is labor intensive and requires the skill of a master Ayurvedic pharmacist, who slowly decocts medicinal plants and other natural substances into heat-stable oils at low temperatures. Padmashri oils are the highest quality Ayurvedic oils on the market, prepared according to authentic Ayurvedic practices. With Padmashri, you only get the pure unadulterated Ayurvedic oil, containing its original scent and texture, and nothing more.
