About Alsi Oil
Alsi (Flaxseed, Linum usitatissimum) is a widely used single-ingredient oil, valued in everyday dietary practice as a source of Omega-3 fatty acids (ALA) and used externally for skin and hair. This 100 ml pack is cold-pressed flaxseed oil, suited to both routes of use.
Because flaxseed oil is high in polyunsaturated fat, it is fragile: heat and light break it down, and once that happens the oil smells sharp or fishy. Buy it in a small bottle, keep it cool and dark, and finish it within a few weeks of opening.
Not sure whether to buy the oil, the seeds or the roasted shekeli? Our guide covers all three forms of alsi, why whole seeds need grinding, why the oil must not be heated, and how to store each one.
Traditional Ayurvedic Importance
Flaxseed — Atasi in Sanskrit — is described in classical and traditional wellness literature as Snigdha (unctuous) and Guru (heavy) in quality and Ushna (warming) in potency, and the oil is traditionally used for external massage. These are traditional descriptions of the dravya's quality, not medical claims.

Composition (label-verified)
| Ingredient | Botanical | Part used | Quantity |
|---|---|---|---|

Single-ingredient cold-pressed oil. Net content 100 ml.
How to Use
Dietary use (cold only): 1–2 teaspoons daily, or as advised by a healthcare professional. Drizzle over food after it comes off the heat, or stir into chaas, dahi or a dressing. Do not heat it.
External use: apply a small amount to skin or hair and massage gently.
Who Can Use It
Adults wanting a plant source of Omega-3 in the diet, or an external massage oil for skin and hair. If you have a medical condition or take regular medication, consult a healthcare professional before dietary use.
Safety Information
Do not heat this oil or use it for cooking — it has a low smoke point and degrades with heat. If the oil smells sharp or fishy it has gone rancid; discard it rather than using it. Conduct a patch test before external use on sensitive skin. Keep out of reach of children. Food-grade cold-pressed alsi oil is not the same as the industrial linseed oil sold for paints and wood finishing, which must never be eaten.
Storage
Store in a cool, dark place and refrigerate after opening. Keep the cap tightly closed and finish within a few weeks of opening.

Frequently Asked Questions
Is this a genuine, authentic pack?
Yes. Riddhish Herbals sources and sells this product directly, with a bill on every order. Every order ships with a genuine invoice/bill.
Is Alsi Oil for dietary or external use?
Both — it can be taken as a dietary source of Omega-3 or applied externally to skin and hair.
Can I cook with this oil?
No. Flaxseed oil has a low smoke point and breaks down with heat, developing a fishy smell. Use it cold — drizzled over food after cooking, in a dressing, or externally.
How much should I take daily?
1–2 teaspoons daily for dietary use, or as advised by a healthcare professional.
Is this the same as linseed oil?
It is the same seed, but not the same product. “Linseed oil” usually refers to the industrial grade sold for paints and wood finishing, which is processed differently and must never be eaten. This is food-grade cold-pressed flaxseed oil.
How do I know if the oil has gone bad?
By smell. Fresh flaxseed oil smells faintly nutty. A sharp or fishy smell means it has gone rancid and should be discarded.
Can this be used during pregnancy or breastfeeding?
For dietary use beyond ordinary food amounts, and for external use on sensitive skin, consult your physician first during pregnancy or breastfeeding.
What are the alternate names for this product?
Alsi Tel, Alsi nu tel (Gujarati), Tisi ka tel, Atasi Taila (Sanskrit), Flaxseed Oil and Cold-Pressed Flaxseed Oil.
Is this oil vegan?
Yes, it is entirely plant-based flaxseed oil.
How should I store Alsi Oil?
Store in a cool, dark place, refrigerate after opening, keep the cap tightly closed, and finish it within a few weeks of opening.
