Description

Riddhish Herbals Til Tail is a pure Ayurvedic sesame oil (Sesamum indicum) — the most widely recommended base oil in classical Ayurvedic texts including Charaka Samhita and Ashtanga Hridayam. Sesame oil holds a unique place in Ayurveda as it is the only oil described as Sarva Dosha Hara (beneficial across all three doshas when used appropriately), with a primary affinity for balancing Vata.

Our Til Tail is cold-pressed to retain its natural sesamol content, natural colour, and full nutritional profile. It is free from artificial additives, chemical processing agents, and synthetic fragrances — offering the pure, unadulterated goodness of this classical Ayurvedic oil.

Riddhish Herbals is dedicated to sourcing and presenting classical Ayurvedic formulations in their most authentic form — making traditional wellness accessible for modern daily routines.
