Karanj Oil is obtained from the seeds of Pongamia Pinnata, commonly known as Karanj, Karanja, Kalinga, Baddhaphala, or Indian Beech Tree in traditional texts and regional markets. The oil is extracted from mature seed kernels, preserving its natural aroma and characteristic properties.
In Ayurveda, Karanj is described as Tikta and Ushna in nature, traditionally used in external applications and classical oil preparations. Karanj Oil is widely included in massage oils, skin-care blends, and traditional herbal formulations as part of routine wellness practices.
Classical guidelines recommend external use, often diluted or blended with suitable carrier oils. Proper storage in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight helps maintain oil stability and quality.
