Olive or cononut or sandalwood?

What's wrong with canola? peanut?

AxayAnanda Swami aka BhaktyAnanda SAgar Mhrj preferred safflower for frying.

which protects skin and keeps it cool and not allow the body to generate a lot of heat.

[Jahnava Nitai Das 2]

Cocout oil is for cooling the body in hot temperatures. Mustard oil is for heating the body in cold temperatures.

 

Sandalwood oil is the best for cooling, but it is so costly no one will ever get real sandalwood oil. There is a chemical synthetic that smells exactly like sandalwood, which is always mixed in with the real sandalwood oil. The effect of the chemical probably isn't good, so it is better to go with coconut oil for cooling.

Thanks very much. I am a little confused, though. I am from India, and they sell coconut oil to use on the hair. Do I use that on the skin, or is there any specific coconut oil for skin?

[Jahnava Nitai Das 2]

Yes, use it directly on the skin. Don't use fancy scented hair oils, just use plain old coconut oil (Parachute brand is fine, the blue bottled one).

 

In the winter coconut oil will condense and won't flow. At that time you should be using mustard oil to heat the body.

 

[Jahnava Nitai Das 2]

The oil should be applied to the skin before bathing.

 

Chanakya says one who applies oil to the body after bathing is considered a chandala (unclean person).

[Guest guest]

After applying oil on the skin, do I have to wait for a few minutes before taking shower? Or do I bathe immediately after?

[Jahnava Nitai Das 2]

If you apply it daily you don't need to wait. Through continued use it will soak into the skin.

Whoa! What about the Mysore Government sandalwood oil, or the stuff that's sold in the US as 100% essential oil? In other words, what am I using in my puja for my Thakurajis, and what am I drinking in the charanamrita?

Tea Tree oil.

 

Look it up on the net and you will see how good it is!

 

Couple it with eating good diet, as sugar, white flour, chemicals, and of course flesh foods, contribute to blemishes.

the best oil is the one your skin makes itself. why put the skin on the dole?
