Banyan Botanicals Pitta Massage Oil 12 oz

I’m mostly Vata with Pita being a very close second… I first got the Vata and was kind of put off by the smell… I love warming stuff and over time the smell got better but then I decided to try the Pita one since I am so close to being mostly Pita as well and I instantly LOVED the smell… I also love the cooling effect it gives me… I love everything hot and warm (hot baths hot showers saunas hot yoga… You name it) but I am naturally an aggressive/ angry person so I have to do cooling/cold/calming stuff (Cold dunks in the bath/cold showers/meditate/gentle yoga/spine stretching) and this stuff is something I really can’t imagine living without now that I’ve almost gone through my first bottle I already have my second one so I don’t go without! 10/10 recommend esp if you’re more of a almost equal parts Vata/Pita - Mandi

Love this oil - it absorbs well, and yes, it has a strong scent, but it dissipates quickly. Great for massage or post-bath moisturizing.

Its nice, but I have not noticed any difference whatsoever, so who knows?

The texture is great and the oil gets absorbed really nicely. The only thing is the smell - it’s not bad if you’re used to Ayurvedic herbal smells, which I am. In fact I like that they didn’t use any fragrance to mask the smell of the natural botanicals. Massaging this oil before shower makes me feel relaxed and rejuvenated. It’s a nice healthy way of pampering myself and showing some self love.

I should have trusted my nose. As soon as I opened it, I thought it might be "off". The oil had clearly passed its shelf life or had been exposed to high heat at some point. I talked myself into using it, thinking it might just be that it was simply scented in a way I don't like. But I used it for a week and it gave me a terrible reaction. My skin had tiny, raw bumps all over that stung when I showered. I switched oils to a different type and the reaction subsided. It was definitely this product. Maybe if I’d gotten a newer bottle that hadn’t gone rancid, it might have worked for me. As it stands, I won’t be purchasing this again.To note: I mix EOs and body care products as part of my studio offerings. I am used to organic scents and love woody, musky, “organic” smells. I didn’t expect it to be perfume like. But rancid oil is what it is. I really should hav trusted my nose.

I love this oil. Very soothing and a nice smell to it. Perfect for Pitta constitutions. Dries quickly on the skin and makes my skin soft.

I did not care for the smell of this at all. For me, it smells kinda woody and musty, like an abandoned cabin with water logged wood floors.

I’m not a fan of smelling like Chinese food so I didn’t resonate with the smell but the oil felt clean.
