🌿 The Ancestral Wisdom Behind Wood Pressed Oils: A Tradition Revived

Honoring the Roots of Wellness

For centuries, our ancestors trusted the purity of nature — not factories or machines — for their daily nourishment. From the food they cooked to the oils they massaged with, every ritual carried wisdom passed through generations.

At Brahmi Naturals, we proudly continue this legacy through our Wood Pressed (Cold Pressed) Oils — pure, unrefined, and pressed the way our forefathers did, using traditional chekku or ghani wooden mills.

🪔 The Ancient Art of Wood Pressing

Before the age of industrial extraction, Indians used a simple wooden press powered by bulls to extract oil.
This method, known as “Ghani” or “Chekku”, used low-speed, cold pressing that preserved the oil’s nutrients and natural aroma.

Why wood pressing mattered:

• No heat, so the oil retained vitamins and antioxidants.

• No chemicals or solvents, ensuring natural purity.

• Wooden pestles prevented oxidation, keeping the oil fresh longer.

The result was an oil so pure, it nourished not just food — but the entire body.

🌸 The Science in the Tradition

Modern studies now confirm what ancient Ayurveda always knew — cold-pressed oils are far superior for health.

They retain:
✅ Omega-3 & Omega-6 fatty acids – essential for heart and brain health.
✅ Natural antioxidants – protect against cell damage.
✅ Vitamin E – for skin and hair nourishment.
✅ Phytosterols – support cholesterol balance.

At Brahmi Naturals, our oils are extracted below 40°C — maintaining this perfect nutrient balance.

🧴 A Legacy for Every Household

Our elders used different oils for different needs — each with purpose and care.

🟢 Cold Pressed Coconut Oil – Cooling, ideal for scalp massage and summer cooking.
🟡 Wood Pressed Gingelly (Sesame) Oil – Warming, best for deep nourishment and traditional recipes.
🟠 Wood Pressed Groundnut Oil – Balanced, perfect for everyday cooking.
🌰 Cold Pressed Badam Oil – Luxurious, deeply nourishing for baby skin and body massage.

Each bottle of Brahmi Naturals oil revives these time-tested uses — bringing the purity of tradition to modern homes.

🌿 Ayurveda’s Holistic View

Ayurveda describes oils as “Sneha” — meaning both “love” and “oil.”
That’s because, in Ayurvedic thought, oiling the body is an act of self-love. It balances the doshas (Vata, Pitta, Kapha), improves vitality, and even calms the mind.

Our ancestors didn’t see oils as cooking ingredients alone — they saw them as medicine, therapy, and life essence.

🕯 Keeping Traditions Alive, the Sustainable Way

Brahmi Naturals chooses the traditional wooden mill extraction method not just for quality, but also for sustainability.

• Zero waste – the leftover seed cake is used as animal feed or fertilizer.

• No artificial refining – meaning no pollution or chemical residue.

• Minimal energy use – eco-friendly and efficient.

Each drop of our oil honors nature and the farmers who grow the seeds with care.

🌼 From Past to Present

Today, when mass-produced oils dominate the market, going back to wood-pressed purity is a conscious choice — a step toward health, authenticity, and harmony with nature.
