The History of Cold-Pressed Oils in India

 Cold-pressed oils have a rich history in India, dating back thousands of years. These oils were traditionally used not only for cooking but also for medicinal and cosmetic purposes. In ancient times, the extraction of oils was done using wooden presses, which preserved the natural nutrients and flavor of the oils.

The use of cold-pressed oils is deeply rooted in Ayurveda, the traditional Indian system of medicine. According to Ayurveda, different oils have specific health benefits and are used to balance the body's doshas (vital energies).

For instance, sesame oil has been used for centuries in Ayurvedic massages and treatments due to its warming and nourishing properties. Coconut oil is revered for its cooling effect and is commonly used in tropical regions of India for both cooking and skincare.

At Vaseegara Oils, the traditional methods of oil extraction are honored and preserved. The company continues to use age-old techniques to produce high-quality cold-pressed oils that are rich in nutrients and flavor.
