$37.95
Description
In Ayurveda, joint and muscle ease is closely tied to balanced Vata dosha and regular oiling of the body (Abhyanga). Mahanarayan Oil is a respected classical formula prepared in a black sesame oil base and enriched with a multi-herb infusion traditionally used to nourish tissues, lubricate joints, and relax tight areas after daily activity.
Used as a herbal massage oil in home self-care or as part of an Ayurvedic treatment, Mahanarayan Oil is valued for its grounding warmth, pleasant glide, and ritual of calm it brings to evening routines. It’s a natural choice for joint comfort, easing everyday muscle tension, and supporting flexible movement. It’s especially soothing for sore, stiff neck muscles and tight shoulders after long hours at a desk or on the go.
Best Ayurvedic Oil for:
- active people, athletes, and yoga practitioners who want faster recovery from sore or tight muscles
- office workers and professionals dealing with stiff neck, shoulder tension, or lower back discomfort
- older adults looking for natural support with flexibility, mobility, and joint comfort
- those with Vata-related issues—cold, dry, stiff joints or aches that worsen in cooler months
- anyone wanting a deeply grounding, restorative evening massage oil to relax the body and mind
Skin feel: warming, medium‑weight.
Scent: natural, earthy herbal-sesame aroma (no synthetic fragrance).

What is Mahanarayan Oil?
A classical Ayurvedic herbal massage oil in a warming sesame base, traditionally used to comfort joints, soothe tired muscles, and support an easy sense of movement. External use only.
Is Mahanarayan oil good for joint pain?
While not a medicine, many people use Mahanarayan oil for joint comfort. Its warming, Vata-balancing qualities and herbal infusion can help you feel more supple and relaxed around the joints after massage. For ongoing pain, it is recommended to seek advice from your healthcare professional.
Which dosha does it balance?
Mahanarayan oil is especially supportive for Vata, helping to ease dryness, stiffness, and the sensation of coldness that often occurs in the joints and muscles. It also helps pacify Kapha by countering heaviness and sluggishness, making the body feel lighter, more flexible, and comfortable after a massage.
How do I use Mahanarayan Oil?
Warm a small amount in your palms (or in a warm-water bath), then massage it over your joints and muscles with slow, steady strokes until fully absorbed. Most effective when left overnight; otherwise, ideally, go for at least 15 minutes before showering.
How often should I apply Mahanarayan Oil?
For most, 3–5 times per week works well, or use it post-activity and in cooler, windy seasons when Vata tends to rise.
Can I use it during pregnancy or while breastfeeding?
Consult your healthcare professional or Ayurvedic practitioner first. Always patch test and use externally only.
Will Mahanarayan Oil stain clothes or sheets?
Herbal oils can mark fabric. Massage in well, let it absorb, and then wipe off any excess oil before dressing. If unsure, place a towel on the pillows or bedding if you’re leaving it on overnight.
Can I warm the oil?
Yes—gently warm the bottle in a warm-water bath. Do not microwave! Test the temperature before applying.
Is it suitable for sensitive skin?
Often well-tolerated, but sensitivities vary. Patch test on a small area first. Avoid broken or irritated skin and discontinue if irritation occurs.
What does it smell like?
A natural, earthy herbal-sesame aroma—no synthetic fragrance. The scent softens after absorption.
