Kapha Massage Oil (Organic) 200ml | for an invigorating & stimulating massage

Invigorating Ayurvedic massage oil for Kapha balance

Maharishi Ayurveda Kapha Massage Oil (Organic) is a warming, enlivening body oil created for normal to oily skin, especially where there is a tendency towards heaviness, dullness or impurities. Based on high-quality sesame oil and aromatic Ayurvedic herbs, it is traditionally used to help reduce excess Kapha and refresh the body and senses.

This stimulating massage oil is ideal for morning use, helping to awaken the skin, support a feeling of lightness and encourage an energised start to the day. Warm oil massage before bathing or showering is a valued Ayurvedic self-care practice for supporting balance, circulation and daily vitality.

Main benefits

• Helps balance Kapha dosha: Kapha is traditionally associated with heaviness, oiliness and sluggishness. This warming, aromatic oil is designed to help bring a lighter, more invigorated quality to the body and senses.
• Suitable for normal to oily skin: The formula is especially suited to skin that tends to feel oily or prone to impurities. It helps support a fresh, clean and balanced skin feel after massage and bathing.
• Invigorating morning massage oil: The stimulating aroma of citronella and traditional Ayurvedic herbs makes this oil particularly appropriate for morning abhyanga. It can help create a more alert and energised start to the day.
• Nourishes the skin: Sesame oil provides a rich, conditioning base that helps soften and care for the skin while carrying the herbal extracts evenly across the body.
• Supports a warming massage routine: Kapha types often benefit from warmth, movement and stimulation. Used warm before bathing, this oil helps make self-massage a more enlivening and balancing daily practice.
• Certified natural cosmetic quality: The product is made with naturally derived ingredients and is listed with the BDIH/Cosmos Organic seal for certified natural cosmetics.

Key ingredients and their actions

• Til – Sesame oil (Sesamum indicum): A classic Ayurvedic massage oil base, sesame oil is warming, nourishing and ideal for traditional oil massage. It helps soften the skin and supports the smooth application of the herbal extracts.
• Citronella – Citronella oil (Cymbopogon nardus): Citronella gives the oil a fresh, lively and uplifting aroma. It is especially useful in a Kapha-balancing formula where stimulation and freshness are desired.
• Pushkaramula – Elecampane root (Inula racemosa): Pushkaramula is traditionally valued in Ayurveda for its warming and clearing qualities. In a massage oil, it contributes to the enlivening character of the blend.
• Anantamul – Indian sarsaparilla root (Hemidesmus indicus): Anantamul is traditionally used in Ayurveda for its balancing and skin-supporting qualities. It helps round out the formula with a gentle herbal action.
• Musta – Nut grass root (Cyperus rotundus): Musta is a well-known Ayurvedic herb often associated with lightness and balance. It is particularly appropriate in a Kapha formula where heaviness and oiliness are being addressed.
• Shirisha – Lebbeck tree bark (Albizzia lebbeck): Shirisha is traditionally used in Ayurveda for its cleansing and clarifying qualities. It supports the overall balancing purpose of the oil for normal to oily skin.
• Jatamansi – Indian spikenard root (Nardostachys jatamansi): Jatamansi adds a grounding aromatic quality to the oil. It helps balance the more stimulating ingredients with a calmer, deeper herbal note.
