Beautiful for the cleanse
I haven’t had a chance to use the Kapha Massage Oil but have used the sunflower and sesame Brahmi and was pleased with them. Unfortunately the Chavanprash wasn’t sealed when I received it. I noticed it was sticky around the outside and when I went to remove the plastic seal I discovered that the lid didn’t seal properly. What should I do if this happens in the future? It was pretty disappointing to receive a product that I couldn’t use because I didn’t know if it would be safe or not. Thank you. Jodi Griffith
We apologize your Chyavanprash arrived damaged. Please contact us and we will send you a new jar.
Amazing Kapha feels and smells great!
While not 100% sure I'm massaging myself correctly, there is no question that this wonderful massage oil leaves me feeling relaxed and my skin deliciously soft and well moisturized (and remains that way even after showering and hours later). I would highly recommend this oil to anyone contemplating purchasing!
We are so happy to hear how positively the Kapha Massage oil is working for you. Please check out the following link to our Self Massage/Abhyanga page, which includes instructions and a video.

Absolutely love the Kapha oil!
Had issues with the order - but thanks to the quick and responsive response from the team they got me the right product quickly. Once received- it’s exactly as I’d hoped. Love it
I like the kapha oil in the winter. Feels so nice on cold winter days. I like to use it right out of the shower.
I bought the Kapha massage oil as part of my self-care routine. I love it :) The fragrance is mild and pleasant and it's warm, which I like a lot because I'm *always* cold. It's a lovely way to begin or end my day, depending on how I'm feeling.
I love this oil. I got it because of the Rosemary although it turned out the sesame oil overpowers the scent. It took me a couple of uses to get over it but the smooth skin makes up for the scent! Great on my skin and hair.
Hi Elizabeth! Yes, the sesame can come through strongly. Some folks like to add a few drops of their favorite essential oil to modify the scent, and in this case perhaps you may want to try adding a few drops of rosemary essential oil. We're so glad the formula is supporting you well!
I use the Kapha Massage Oil after 25 minutes in the Hammam…It absorbs nicely without feeling greasy…I use the heat of the Hammam to warm the oil before applying.

I am enjoying using this oil! It is surprisingly not greasy, and absorbs quickly into my skin. The scent is strong and earthy, but does not linger. I definitely feel the warming effect almost immediately. It imparts a healthy glow to my skin and makes it appears tightened and sculpted.

great product, warming, smells good
I love how smooth and nourishing this oil is! Smells great, soothing and warming. Great for use in the morning to moisturize and do self-massage before rinsing off in the shower.

I was hoping this oil would upgrade my abbyanga practice but I won't be using it because of how bad it smells. It smells like the sesame oil has expired so I'm assuming I just got shipped an old batch judging by the other reviews. I have enjoyed using other Banyan Botanicals products for years so I was honestly surprised this oil was so bad. I won't be ordering this again.
We are sorry that the fragrance of the Kapha Massage Oil does not suit you and would be happy to refund you for your purchase if within 90 days of purchase. Please contact us at 800 953 6424 to explore related details.
This oil is great after showering - very energizing!
Massaging my body before the shower is making my brain is more energetic and sharpens my memory, and on the whole, I feel very dynamic.
After becoming more familiar with abbyanga practice, I decided to try the Banyan Sesame for myself and Kapha for my husband. Excellent oils and my skin has feels amazing (esp with Winters up north!) Highly recommend the oils and this practice - it’s so much better than lotion!
My clients are loving this oil in combination with their new dry skin brushing practice.
Thanks for making such a high quality product.
My skin likes this oil! It has an earthy smell that is pleasant with a little getting used to. I seem to be tri-doshic, so I can experiment and expect to use different oils in different seasons.
I had been using warm sesame oil for daily self-massage/hot showers. I decided to try the Kapha Massage Oil, and love the stuff. The scent is mildly earthy, and only enhances the experience. Some of the descriptions for this product said "invigorating", "revitalizing", "promotes energy and vitality" and "instills lightness of being". And I have to say that after using this oil for maybe a month, it has helped me with all those things. Try it!
I try to do abhyanga 3-4 times per week, due to my schedule it is difficult to do more, and every time I am so glad that I did it. It calms and grounds me and the kapha herbs feel like invigorating.
I love the gentle scent and the warming action. I use it daily.
Love the oil and yet don't care for the smell of it.
Hi Karen, we're sorry to hear you aren't pleased with the smell of the Kapha Massage oil. You might try adding some of your favorite essential oils to the mix to lessen the earthy, herby aroma of the oil. If that still isn't working for you, we have a 90 day return policy and would be happy to work with you on processing a return. Thank you for taking the time to review!
Love this stuff! Will purchase it again
Goes on really well and has many uses but I was disappointed in the smell. I thought it would be more spa like and pleasant. I will order a different oil next time.
I use all the doshic oils on my clients. The Kapha oil is very warming and invigorating. I love the smell the best of all.
This is my 3rd purchase of the Kapha Oil. I absolutely love it. I've also used the Daily Massage Oil, that's suited to all doshas, and loved that oil as well. The scent of both and the quality of products, and service, I couldn't be happier with. The next bottle will be a much larger size.
Great product
