Guest guest Posted March 19, 2004 Report Share Posted March 19, 2004 Dear members, I would like to add to it that whether the oil in which Rudraksha has been dipped can be re-used to dip the Rudraksha again say after 1 month. If yes, then how many times one can re-use the same oil for dipping the rudraksha and is it valid for all oil such as oilive oil. An early reply will be highly appreciated Regrds D.Mehtani sivasakti77 <tigrevaliente wrote: Dear Group Members, have you thought of some uses for the oil in which you soak the Rudraksas? As Rudraksa water is recommended for high blood pressure, the oil must have some good properties too, I think... Your comments and experiences are most welcome.

Guest guest Posted March 19, 2004 Report Share Posted March 19, 2004 Dear Tigreji, Sis Kari and some of us were discussing some time ago about using left-over oil from soaking rudrakshas for massage, for rubbing on dry skin and as bath oil. That is if cold-pressed carrier oils are used with sandalwood or frankincense or other essential oil. For users of mustard oil and sesame oil, its not a good idea using these for massage or baths. Mustard oil may result in skin irritation for sensitive skin and sesame has too much of a distinct savoury fragrance. May I ask what are your favorite oils? Mine are sandalwood and frankincense, they are used individually with almond oil (cold pressed which doesn't turn rancid easily). Has anyone tried Neem Oil?

Guest guest Posted March 19, 2004 Report Share Posted March 19, 2004 Dear Diepakji, If the used oil has not turned rancid, its ok to re-use it after one month. Olive oil generally has a long shelf-life and like other oils if it does not turn rancid, its fine for re-using too. Try to keep all oils away from sunlight in a dark, cool corner of the cupboard. Too much humidity also makes oil go rancid. However, I've heard of people who would use rancid oil so its usually up to a person to decide himself or herself.

Guest guest Posted March 19, 2004 Report Share Posted March 19, 2004 Some of the members have suggested using the oil in the bath, or on the skin and hair. Because the lubriction of the oils might be enhanced by the healing energies of the beads. Thanks!

Guest guest Posted March 19, 2004 Report Share Posted March 19, 2004 Olive oil and sandalwood. YUM! I rub it into my skin, when I tend my beads. My skin says, "Thank you!" and I smell GREAT!

Guest guest Posted March 19, 2004 Report Share Posted March 19, 2004 Depends on the "shelf life" of the oil, I think. If it starts to smell a little rancid, I would say discard it. I don't reuse my oils, BTW. I just mix enough in a little dish, for the beads to soak up (I use olive and sandalwood oils), and then rub the rest nto my skin. I mix a fresh, and very small batch, the next time I tend the beads.

Guest guest Posted March 19, 2004 Report Share Posted March 19, 2004 Dear Simone and Kari, thank you for this. Yes, I use (virgin)olive oil too. I have about 0.75 litres where I keep new beads prior to cleaning - I was making some 5 mukhi malas for friends. After soaking them in water and after that oil the pulp comes off easy. Today I tried eating a few drops and it tasted good! For bead oiling I use almond oil (massage oil) without additives and rub it in my hands. Almond oil turns the beads dark quickly and does not stay on the beads too much. I use a little brush for oiling (with mantras). I tried some walnut oil once but I did not like the smell. Neem oil sounds interesting, but I haven't seen in in the shop. Thank you again Tigre , "karisprowl" <karisprowl@e...> wrote: > Olive oil and sandalwood. YUM!

Guest guest Posted March 19, 2004 Report Share Posted March 19, 2004 Thanks for this! Sis Sy also mentioned almond oil. I think I'm gonna try it. I once web-researched natural oils for woods. Food grade lemon oil (without petroleum additives, that is) was suggested, also another oil, which I cannot now remember. I may hit Google one more time, for some hints. BTW-- I sometimes drink water, in which the beads have soaked. It DOES taste good! <g> Thanks, again! Kari , "sivasakti77" <tigrevaliente> wrote: > Dear Simone and Kari, thank you for this.
