About this formulation

Karanj Oil is based on Karanja (Pongamia pinnata), a herb described in the Charaka and Sushruta Samhitas, prepared in sesame oil with Saptaparni, Chitraka, Bhringraja, Haridra (turmeric) and other herbs. In Ayurveda, Karanja is classed as Kushtaghna (supports skin health), Kandughna (helps ease itching) and Krimighna (traditionally used against microbes). It is traditionally applied to support Twak (the skin) and to balance Kapha and Vata. It contains strong plant latexes, so do a patch test first and keep it away from the eyes. For external use only.

Classical reference: Classical Kushtha Chikitsa; Karanja described in Charaka & Sushruta Samhita.
