How To Use

If preferred, Brahmi Oil can be applied only to your hair and scalp. Massage gently until the oil is mostly absorbed. To wash, apply shampoo to dry hair, then rinse. Or for a full body massage, here are a few steps:

Warm oil if desired to support nourishment and absorption.
Massage into your whole body with firm, gentle pressure.
Work your way from your hands and feet toward your heart. Use long strokes on the limbs and circular strokes on the joints.
Let absorb for 10–20 minutes, then shower to rinse. Careful not to slip!

Our bottles have extra room to accommodate our pumps for a spill-free experience. 8 oz oils come with a pump, and 24 oz pumps and 128 oz pumps can be purchased separately.

For external use only. Warning: All oils make surfaces slippery and can be combustible. Use caution when drying or storing linens exposed to oils as they are potentially combustible when exposed to heat. Consult your dryer manufacturer's guidelines for drying linens that have been in contact with oils.

Herbal Highlights

Bacopa Leaf

Bacosides, the bioactive compounds found in bacopa, are gaining recognition in research for their neuroprotective and memory-enhancing properties.*
Gotu Kola Leaf

Sourced from a small farm in Gujarat, India, this small, water-loving plant is traditionally used to support the brain and nervous system.*
Sesame Oil

Considered the "king of oils" in Ayurveda, sesame oil has a rich and luscious texture and a deeply nourishing effect on the body's tissues.*

"I'm a massage therapist and this is hands down my preferred massage oil. Every client I use this oil for feels deeply calm and clear." —Sarah B.
"I use the Brahmi Oil each night as part of my nighttime self-care ritual... Since doing this I've slept more soundly." —Linda T.

Sustainably Sourced

Environmentally responsible practices support the long term well-being of the plants and ecosystems we source from.
Certified Organic

Organic herbs are grown with the use of renewable resources, contributing to both individual and planetary health.
Fairly Traded

Equitable supply chains ensure the social and economic well-being of our small farmers, producers, and suppliers.

Customers praised this sesame-based massage oil for promoting relaxation and better sleep. Many noted it "feels so good on skin" with a "soothing quality." The oil is popular for abhyanga practice, scalp massage, and moisturizing dry skin. Some found the scent unpleasant or too strong, while one felt it was greasy. A packaging concern was raised about the 24oz bottle lacking a pour filter.

This oil used in Abhyanga practice feels like being wrapped in silk.
It soothes and replenishes on all levels.
My feet feel soft and smooth like baby's skin.

I love this Brahmi oil.

I love this Brahmi oil. It smells amazing and feels so good on my skin.

Love it

This oil is silky and calming. It is my favorite massage oil.

Dont care for the smell

Too bad we cannot smell before we buy online. I had used a different seasame oil from a different manufacturer and expected it to be similar in smell. Way off. The bottle's just sitting in my cabinet.

We are sorry to hear that you do not care for the smell of our Brahmi herbal oil in a sesame base. We do use unrefined sesame oil in this product and while some people love the deep, heavy smell of unrefined sesame, others may find it too strong. We do carry this product in a coconut base, which is great for hot, summer months, as it is a cooling oil. We do offer free samples of our oils with a purchase, so that customers have an opportunity to test and smell the oils before purchasing. We also offer a 90-day refund policy, and would be more than happy to refund you for the product purchase.

Brahmi Oil (Sesame)

I have been warming some Brahmi Oil and massaging my feet with it every night before I go to bed. I am sleeping better and when I wake up in the morning, my feet feel soft and smooth like baby's skin. Thanks Banyan!

Household staple

I’ve been buying this oil for many years and it’s an essential in our household. It feels nourishing but light. I use it for my body, face, and hair, and it’s the only thing that doesn’t break my skin out if I leave it on. It feels very healing for the skin. I’m really glad with the new smaller size glass bottle with the pump, because the old one was a bit messy. I usually get the giant refill bottle and fill the small one. It’s great quality and lovely subtle earthy herbaceous smell.

You won’t regret it! Pure luxury.

This oil used in a Abhyanga practice (followed by a warm bath) feels like being wrapped in silk. One of my favorite products from Banyan!

Amazing product, difficult container

Love the quality but the 24oz bottle doesn't have a pour filter, just a cap with a larger bottle neck so too much comes out for ahbyanaga. OK for refills , just make sure you have a good container to transfer for use.

Thank you for your review, Thomas! This is very helpful feedback and we'll definitely pass it along for consideration. Our intention with the 24oz size is that they would serve as a 'refill' option for the 8oz glass bottles, which do come with a pump. We also have 24oz size pumps available for purchase!

My year round go-to skin oil

I have been using Banyan's Brahmi Oil for many years. It was recommended by an Ayurvedic practitioner to support my nervous system and promote restful sleep. At first, I used it mostly in the winter. Now I use it year round. It has a soothing quality and is great to replenish moisture on my skin. It's mild and light. I am an avid lap swimming. My skin gets dry and itchy if I don't use Brahmi Oil after I shower. It soothes and replenishes on all levels.

great oil for abhyanga

I use warm brahmi oil every morning and my skin loves it!

Nourishing

Perfect for my self care days. My nervous system is feeling stimulated. I love taking time and dry, brushing and rubbing this oil from head to toe. Letting it soak in for a few hours then taking a nice long hot shower.

Brahmi Oil

I really enjoy massaging my scalp and ears with this oil as a downshift for getting myself ready for bed. It’s very relaxing for me and I look forward to this little bedtime ritual

i love the brahmi oil

i love the brahmi oil it helps me calm and go to sleep

Rich and wonderful!

I just did a seasonal switch from Vata Massage Oil which i used all winter to Brahmi Oil for the spring. I love them both, and the Brahmi feels so nourishing for my daily abhyanga. I recommend this oil.

it's ok

Not overly impressed. I ordered 5 different oils, based on amazing reviews, but I don't find it too exciting.
As a lover of Ayurveda, I tried so many different ones. Even regular sesame oil that I get in Sprouts feels smoother and less greasy.

Will not discard them, will use them, in time, but I'm certainly not in love with it.

Thank you for sharing your experience. Always feel free to let us know when you are not completely satisfied with one of our products. We would love to speak with you about alternatives and are more than amenable to refunding your product cost if within 90 days of purchase.

Fabulous

I love this stuff. Xo

Oil me

Brahma oil sesame is the best thing I have found for my old dry skin. I watched some utube videos on how to use it self massage is something I had never tried before I have used it every night since. I seep better my skin is smooth not dry I am very satisfied

Brahmi on my feet to relax

I learned about massaging my feet with brahmi oil in an Ayurveda class three years ago and have been hooked ever since. It is my nightly bedtime ritual for a good nights sleep. Aaaaaahhhhh...

Ayurveda Oils

All of the Ayurveda Oils are so wonderful. They bring soothing health back to the body. They smell delicious and help to relax the body and release tension and stress. The price is great too!

Brahmi Oil (Sesame)

I love love my Brahmi Oil (Sesame)...I love the smell and how it feels on by body. I am rating a 4 here, because when I opened the package, the plastic bottle was a little dent, but I was able to fix that. I also wish this came in glass. Thank you!

Hi Jeannette! Thank you so much for your feedback. Please know that we thought carefully about the choice of plastic vs glass containers. Ultimately we concluded that fewer resources (water, electricity, mining equipment, etc.) are used in the production of the plastic bottles versus glass; and given the lighter weight and durability of these plastics compared to glass, there is a smaller carbon footprint created by the shipping of these materials. For any products that are filled hot balms, ghee, Chyavanprash), we use glass containers instead of plastic. That said, we appreciate your suggestion and will keep glass massage bottles in mind for the future. Also, apologies for the bottle being dented. Please know that this is just something that occasionally happens during the production process of the oils, and that the oil itself is not negatively impacted from the bottle being dented. We're glad to hear you were able to fix it!

Perfect abhyanga oil

Love this oil for self massage and as a moisturizer - the smell is heady and pungent but doesn't linger on the skin; highly recommended

Love this oil!

Massaging my son with this has helped him be calmer through out the day. Also been using it myself and feel clearer and calmer the days I use it. Thanks banyan!

Banyan Brahmi Oil

Consistently high in quality. I use this deliciously fragrant oil when bathing, and after bathing, as a hair moisturizer/ conditioner, on my head & feet at night, and in my nostrils and ears. Highly valued.

Auwsam oil

Brahmi oil is one my favorite oils. I love to use it specially on my scalp and my curly wild hair.

Brahmi Oil

As always, from Banyan, an excellent product. It came promptly and I am very pleased with the oil.

Fantastic Product!

I have used this product for years. The quality has remained consistent and is a great product. Definitely will be ordering on a regular basis.

can I use this the same way I use nasya oil?

Rachel Euell

As our massage oils are intended for external use, we don't suggest using them for practicing nasya. We recommend looking into our Nasya Oil or Sesame Oil for that purpose, or that you consult with an Ayurvedic or health care practitioner to find an alternative option for practicing nasya.
