Benefits of Ayurveda Mustard Oil versus Aromatherapy Commercial Oil
Aromatherapists, beauty parlors, and health spas have got an extensive list of essential massage oils which serve one or other thing and are beneficial in curing some problems, but according to Ayurveda, when patient's dosha or abnormality is taken into account, cold‑pressed oils like mustard oil obtained from mustard seeds are best. It is also important to note that some aromatherapy and beauty parlors use mineral oils and many other substitutes for natural oils that are very harmful and dangerous for our body’s metabolic function because these artificial mineral oils form a coating or layer on our skin cells and then the cells are not able to breathe freely. Also moisturizers made up of artificial minerals and chemicals tend to increase the dryness after a few minutes of using them because these do not contain natural herbal oils but contain synthetic perfumes and preservatives. These aromatherapy commercial oils are extracted from animal fat and there have been a lot of studies which confirm that these non-vegetarian oils cause problems. Taking these factors into account, it is well understood that vegetarian massage oils like Ayurveda mustard oil have an edge over these aromatherapy commercial oils containing animal fats. Both skin and hair get natural benefit from application of Ayurveda mustard oil that serves as the best lubricant and is obtained from mustard seed oils and is a pure cold-pressed vegetable oil. Whether your purpose is to get head massage, body massage, or treat any skin inflammation, Ayurvedic massage oils are the best option for you as they get absorbed in the skin and hair very easily and nourish the body with essential natural vitamins and minerals.
