Pitta Oil - (118 ml)

Pitta Oil: Ayurvedic Cooling Massage Oil for Skin Nourishment, Relaxation & Daily Wellness
118 ml | External Use Only | Traditional Ayurvedic Formula
Also known as: Pitta Taila / Pitta Dosha Balancing Oil

Some days, the heat builds quietly. Not just in the weather, but in the body. In the shoulders that won't release. The mind that won't switch off. The skin that feels reactive before you've even figured out why.

In Ayurveda, that's Pitta talking.

Pitta dosha, governed by the fire element, can express itself through the skin as excess heat, sensitivity, redness, or reactivity. When Pitta becomes elevated, the body may feel warm, the mind may feel intense, and the skin may feel easily irritated. Ayumantra
Pitta Oil from AyuMantra was made for exactly that moment. A traditional Ayurvedic cooling massage oil formulated with Ushira, Sariva, Bala, Guduchi, Musta, Rose Flower, and Shatavari, herbs specifically chosen in Ayurveda for their cooling, soothing, and Pitta-pacifying qualities, infused in a pure Sesame Oil base.

This oil is particularly suited for people with a Pitta constitution, or anyone experiencing Pitta imbalance, as it acts to calm and refresh the mind, body, and skin. It's also ideal for anyone during the summer months or warmer climates when Pitta naturally runs higher. Riddhish Herbals

What Is Pitta, And Why Does It Matter?
Understanding Pitta makes this oil make a lot more sense.
In Ayurveda, Pitta is the dosha associated with fire and water; it governs digestion, metabolism, body temperature, and the intensity of both thought and emotion. When Pitta is balanced, you feel sharp, warm, focused, and capable. When it tips out of balance, through heat, stress, spicy food, overwork, or summer seasons, that fire starts to burn a little too hot.

Pitta Oil balances Pitta, or metabolism, in the body, relieving the body from unwanted heat and promoting healthy thoughts and concentration. The herbs in this oil are specifically cooling and soothing by nature, working with the body's natural intelligence rather than against it. Biomedres

The Herbs, And Why Each One Is Here

Ushira (Chrysopogon zizanioides), Vetiver Root: One of Ayurveda's most powerful cooling herbs. Ushira is traditionally valued for its deeply cooling and grounding properties, helping bring down excess heat in the body and calm an overactive mind. Its earthy, cool fragrance is itself calming.

Sariva (Hemidesmus indicus), Indian Sarsaparilla: Traditionally used in Ayurveda as a cooling blood purifier and skin wellness herb. Sariva restores proper function by cleansing the blood and balancing blood chemistry, traditionally used to revitalise and pacify Pitta in rakta (blood tissue).

Bala (Sida cordifolia): Meaning "strength" in Sanskrit, Bala is traditionally valued in Ayurveda for its nourishing and strengthening properties, supporting muscle tone, nerve wellness, and overall vitality in external applications.

Guduchi (Tinospora cordifolia): Known as "Amrita", the nectar of immortality, in Ayurveda. Guduchi is traditionally valued for immune support, natural cleansing, and its ability to support overall balance and vitality. Its cooling properties complement the Pitta-pacifying nature of this formula.

Musta (Cyperus rotundus): Traditionally used in Ayurveda for its cooling and digestive-balancing properties. Musta is appreciated for its ability to support skin comfort and help reduce heat and reactivity in the body's tissues.

Rose Flower (Rosa centifolia): Rose is one of Ayurveda's most beloved Pitta-balancing botanicals, cooling, soothing, and deeply nourishing to both the skin and the emotions. Its cooling qualities foster a sense of relaxation and ease, and its gentle natural fragrance makes every massage feel like a ritual rather than a routine.

Shatavari (Asparagus racemosus): Ayurveda's most celebrated Rasayana herb for nourishment and rejuvenation. Shatavari's naturally cooling and deeply moistening qualities make it an ideal addition to a Pitta-balancing formula, nourishing the tissues from the outside in.

Sesame Oil Base (Sesamum indicum): Ayurveda's most valued carrier oil for massage, deeply penetrating, tissue-nourishing, and Vata-balancing. Sesame Oil carries the herbal properties deeper into the skin rather than sitting on the surface, amplifying the benefits of every herb in this formula.

How To Use
For daily Abhyanga (full-body self-massage): Warm the oil slightly if desired to support nourishment and absorption. Massage into the whole body with firm, gentle pressure — working from hands and feet toward the heart. Use long strokes on the limbs and circular strokes on the joints. Let it absorb for 10–20 minutes, then shower to rinse.

For targeted application: Apply directly to areas of tension, warmth, or skin reactivity. Massage gently in circular motions until absorbed. Can be used 2–3 times daily as needed.

For scalp and head massage: Pitta Oil is also beneficial for soothing burning sensations and calming the mind when used as a scalp oil. Apply a small amount to the scalp, massage gently, and leave for 20–30 minutes before washing. Alpine Herb Company
