Guest guest Posted January 21, 2006 Report Share Posted January 21, 2006 Dear Chandrashekhar Prabhuji, Yes, the neem oil I obtained was thick and brownish, must have been pure unprocessed neem oil (was it unfiltered?) imported from India via Germany. I was quite surprised when I observed these particular qualities. Perhaps there are different grades of it, but so far I havent researched it. I believe that Neem oil perhaps could be suitable to use if it is diluted into another suitable base oil, so it still would retain its distinct antimicrobial and insecticidal qualities, ie. when added to coconut oil in the order of 1-4%, neem oilö is extremely effective as a mosquito skin repelllent. It would be interesting to study scientifically how rudraksha wood react to oils over time with different kind of fatty acid profiles. I believe that oils with higher content of polyunsaturated fatty acids should probably be avoided as the turn quite rancid when exposed to air, I believe that the oxidation could result in an undesirable effect on the wood, ie. coating, so the bead wouldnt be able to breathe. I wonder if unadultered fine Mysore sandalwood oil is the optimal oil for Rudraksha preservation? What is your opinion in this regard?

However, Neem oil is very thick and viscous. As you have noticed it has very strong smell. I have also noticed strong smell in Indian samples, so your material may be authentic. Due to its viscocity and stickiness I did not use it for rudraksha. > > Thanking you and with best wishes, > > Chandrashekhar > > Ole Alstrup <alstrup> wrote: > Dear Chandrashekhar Ji, > > What about neem oil? It has strong antibacterial and antifungal properties. Is that recommended for rudraksha care? I once had some unfiltered neem oil, but it had a strong smell, so I have some doubts.
