About Sarsav Tail (Pure Mustard Oil)

Sarshapa Taila — known in Gujarat as Sarsav Tail and across India as Sarson ka Tel — is one of the oldest and most extensively described external-use oils in classical Ayurvedic pharmacology. Brassica juncea (Indian Brown Mustard) oil has been a staple of Ayurvedic Abhyanga (therapeutic massage) traditions for well over two thousand years, valued specifically for its Ushna (warming), Tikshna (penetrating), and Vata-nashaka (Vata-reducing) properties. Riddhish Herbals Sarsav Tail is prepared from 100% pure mustard oil — cold-pressed, free from adulteration, synthetic additives, and artificial fragrances — presented in the traditional Taila (medicated oil) spirit of authentic Ayurvedic external care.

Traditional Ayurvedic Importance

Charaka Samhita (Sutra Sthana 13) describes Sarshapa Taila as one of the most potent Ushna Taila (warming oils), particularly emphasised for Vata-related musculoskeletal imbalances and for daily Abhyanga practice. Ashtanga Hridayam (Sutra Sthana 2) specifically recommends mustard oil as an Abhyanga medium in cold seasons and for Kapha-Vata constitutions, noting its naturally penetrating quality that enables deeper absorption into the skin and muscles. In classical Dravyaguna, Sarshapa (Brassica juncea) is classified as Katu (pungent rasa), Ushna (heating virya), and Katu-vipaka — properties that align with its traditional application for warming stiff muscles, supporting joint mobility, and the time-honoured Abhyanga tradition of Ayurveda. The Keshya (hair-supporting) tradition of mustard oil is one of the oldest documented uses across all regional Ayurvedic traditions — from Punjab to Gujarat to Kerala.
