Mustard oil is one of Ayurveda’s strongest warming oils—useful for circulation and winter massage, but not ideal for every dosha.
Why Mustard Oil Is Warming
Mustard oil carries potent heating qualities that stimulate circulation, reduce stiffness, and energize the body—ideal for Kapha or Vata individuals in cold seasons.
How to Use It
- Warm slightly before application.
- Massage onto limbs and joints.
- Leave on for 10–20 minutes before bathing.
Important Precautions
Mustard oil is too strong for many Pitta types. Avoid on broken skin, eczema, rashes, or in hot climates. Always do a patch test before full use.
When Mustard Oil Shines
It is excellent in winter, for athletes with stiffness, or for those needing warming circulation support.
