Passionflower Herb

This climbing vine has delicate winding tendrils and intricate purple flowers. It is prized in herbalism for its calming and relaxing effect.*

"I’m a vata dosha (constant thoughts swirling in my mind) and this oil helps calm my body and makes me feel centered. It really works! Great pre-bedtime ritual." —Maggie R.
"OMG. Doing head-to-toe self oil massage with this oil is truly incredible. It is a luxurious, deeply pleasurable, nourishing, relaxing and grounding expression of self-love." —Zara

Ayurvedic massage oil praised for warming, grounding, and nourishing properties. Customers said it "feels like a warm hug" and improves skin softness, though some find the earthy sesame scent overpowering. Absorbs well for most. Some concerns about scent preference and occasional packaging issues.

It's like a warm hug. The warm earthy scent is intoxicating and soothing.
Amazing fragrance and it easily absorbs into skin.
It not only moisturizes my dry skin, it dramatically reduces inner tension!

Very efficient!

This is my first time using this product and I am so excited! It 's like a warm hug. The warm earthy scent is intoxicating and soothing while the oil feels very nourishing. I will be ordering again and again. It imparts a comforting calm to my nervous system. Thank you!!

I know some people might think it’s a little greasy, but honestly I love this stuff. The smell is amazing—really warm and calming—and it just feels like good quality when you put it on. I’ve always felt like your skin needs real, nourishing ingredients, and this actually feels like it’s doing something, not just sitting on top.
An Ayurvedic teacher I met years ago told me to use oil like this daily for abhyanga, and I’ve stuck with it. I do think it helps me stay calmer, or at least more grounded.
I genuinely love it—if I could have a whole well of this, I would.

soothing joints and skin are norished

I used this daily for 2 weeks as part of the Ayurprana vata cleanse, and my skin feels much smoother now.

Amazing fragrance and it easily absorbs into skin. I can get dressed within a few minutes of using without any problem with oil transfer.

While the oil itself felt good on my skin (warmed) but I’m afraid the rather earthy odor did not agree with me. I used it 3 or 4 times but just couldn’t get used to the scent

warming and grounding. Helpful start to my day

It is very wonderful.

Vata oil

i love your products but my last order arrived with the cap broken. It was a mess and while I was able to salvage a lot of it a cap less bottle was not ideal. Very aggravating in fact.

We are very sorry to hear your oil arrived damaged. We are sending a new bottle and apologize for the inconvenience.

Vata Oil

LOVE IT :) Thank you for offering such wonderful and helpful products.

Great oil!!

I bought this for the dry winter months and it is great! My skin is very dry and regular sesame oil isn't enough to keep it from flaking. This oil absorbs very well, I use it after the shower in winter to seal in more moisture, and my legs don't flake. Yay!

vata massage oil

Very good product, right away you feel the benefits of the good and clean ingredients

Great warming oil

My skin just soaks up oil because I tend to be very dry, so I tend to use a lot of oil. I am a vatta-pitta constitution but I find that sometimes this oil really gets me cooking. If I use is before it is too cold out I will wake up in sweats. Even when it is pretty cold I find that with my coat on it starts to feel like an oven. I haven't really found a how to make it work for me without getting me constantly super heated. I have been trying to use it sparingly to see if that balances it out. It's a great oil, I think it has a great earthy smell, but it must aggravate my pitta enough that when I am bundled up I start roasting like a turkey. I don't think that it's a problem with the oil per se, but maybe not the best match for my constitution in the winter.

We recommend assessing which oil to use by taking into account the season and any current imbalances you may be trying to address.

Don't like the odor

I can't bear the thought of putting it on myself or anybody else because I dislike the odor. To me it smells like the 15-year-old thyme or savory that you find in the back of your spice drawer. Also, a possibly related issue, the seal was not quite tight; air could leak in and out.

We are sorry you find the scent unpleasant. Vata Massage Oil is formulated with a combination of grounding and nourishing herbs. The scent is earthy and herbal because we do not add perfumes or fragrances. We offer a 90 day return policy if you would like to return the oil.

Vata Massage Oil

Fabulous Oil. It is so grounding, rich, and soothing to my skin and my whole being. Thanks for creating it, Banyan Botanicals!

You're welcome! We're so glad to hear that you like it! Thank you for taking the time to review.

Poor customer relations

I ordered Vata massage oil along with another item. I had updated my mailing address but didn't order that day. When I did order I didn't notice my old mailing address was showing. The order couldn't be delivered. I was asked to pay a second shipping charge to re ship. That brought the shipping charge to more than half the cost of ordered. I cacelled the order. But shipping charge still appeared on credit card statement. The customer sevice rep I chatted with , Penelope, when order couldn't be shipped, was short with me, not helpful in any way. I love the site, great information, but I'm reluctant to order anything.

Thank you for your feedback, Nancy. We are sorry to hear that you were unhappy with the customer service you received, and while communicating via our online chat platform is convenient for many, sometimes responses may seem more curt or abrupt when they are put in writing than they would seem over the phone. Because of the complications of your order and because we value you as a customer we are re-sending you your order free of charge.

Good vata oil

Good quality oil for vata dosha

Vata Massage oil

Vata Massage oil is a nice oil for massage in the morning for those who have dominate vata in their constitution.

Vata Massage Oil... extrodinary sleep!

I’ve added the vata oil to my baths every evening before bed and My sleep has improved greatly!!!!! I feel warm and moisturized. love this stuff!

Vata Massage Oil

I love my Vata Massage Oil. I put it on before every shower and give myself a good rub down. My skin feels so soft and silky.

Very comforting

The Vata Massage Oil has provided warming properties during my morning self-massages and my skin soaks up this oil leaving a nice glow.

Lovely oil. Not fond of the smell.

Although the smell is a bit off-putting to me (hoping to get used to it) the quality of the oil is really top notch. I’ve been using this oil during my massage practice each night, and it’s so soothing and warming on my skin. I’ve been doing a nightly massage on my face without washing the oil off and my skin is glowing more than ever. I’m new to Banyan Botanicals, but I’m excited to try other products knowing they’re high quality.

Hi Jordan,
Thank you for taking the time to write a review! We're so happy to hear that you are new to Banyan products and that Ayurvedic practices are supporting your vibrant health.
The dominant scent in our Vata Massage oil is the nutty, earthy aroma of sesame oil. Because the oil is unrefined, it has a stronger scent that indicates it's rich and unprocessed healing quality. Some of our customers choose to add essential oils to customize the scent to their liking, using proper dilution ratios.
We look forward to serving you again soon and are thrilled to support your Ayurvedic journey. Be well!

Conflicted

I have a sensitive nose, but the sesame base makes this oil like rubbing leftover chicken stir fry all over myself. HOWEVER, I feel sooo relaxed and calm when I use it, that I use it every night anyway! I have also used Banyon extra refined plain sesame oil and LOVED it. That oil smells light and sweet, like sesame candy. The real reason I am writing this review is to suggest making a vata version with the extra refined sesame oil. I would absolutely pay the extra cost, thank you!!

Hi Caroline, thanks for the feedback! We'll definitely keep your request in mind. If you're not too sensitive to essential oils, you can add your favorites to the oil to brighten up the scent a bit!

Vata Massage Oil

I've been using this massage oil for over a year. I take it to my massage person. Also leave in my shower to massage after my shower. Love it.

Warming and Soothing

This oil was recommended to me by my acupuncturist. It is warm, soothing, and feels luxurious to the touch. Highly recommend!

Vata Massage Oil for Relaxation

This is an excellent product. The warmed oil massaged from head to toe before a warm bath leave me so relaxed. I fall into a deep sleep and wake up refreshed and ready for a new day. Try it anytime you are in need of deep relaxation!

Love this oil

The Vata massage oil works so well. It is a heavier base oil, which I need for my dry and rough legs and feet. It is so relaxing and warming. I'm loving it!

This is a wonderful high-quality

This is a wonderful high-quality oil.
The new bottle is glass and easier to use-but only holds 8 ounces as opposed to the previous plastic bottles that held 12 ounces…
It’s disappointing, not to have enough oil to complete a 10 day PK.
