In Ayurvedic massage, the quality of the massage oil is of central importance. For my treatments, I use only original Santulan Ayurveda oils from India. These oils are produced according to traditional Ayurvedic formulas – uncompromising in purity, effectiveness, and care throughout the manufacturing process.
According to Ayurvedic teachings, our body consists of the five elements: earth, water, fire, air, and ether.
The individual composition of these elements determines our constitution type – Vata, Pitta, Kapha, or their combinations. Choosing the right massage oil is essential for a holistic and constitution-specific massage.
The base of these high-quality oils is either sesame oil or coconut oil, both highly compatible and suitable for all Doshas. Production takes place in a multi-step, traditional process. First, the base oil is boiled with water at a ratio of 1:4. At this stage, Ayurvedic herbs and substances such as turmeric, sandalwood, or Triphala are added. Only when the original volume is reached again is the mixture filtered.
In the next step, the oil is once again boiled with water at a 1:4 ratio – this time with additional ingredients such as milk, yogurt, or rice water.
These ingredients are selected individually depending on the desired effect and area of application. The cooking process continues until the mixture has been reduced back to the original oil volume.
This elaborate production method guarantees the high quality and effectiveness of the original Ayurvedic massage oils. The oils are optimally absorbed by the skin and unfold their benefits deep into the tissue – creating an authentic, holistic massage experience.
