Detail

Joint discomfort rarely appears overnight. It builds slowly from years of standing or sitting for long hours, repetitive movements, old injuries, cold weather, and general wear and tear. Over time, this can show up as stiff knees in the morning, hips that don’t feel as free, or wrists and fingers that complain after even simple tasks. 

In Ayurveda, this picture is linked to Asthi Dhatu – the tissue system that includes bones and joints – and to Vata when it lodges in and around the joints. When Asthi Dhatu is under strain, joints may feel dry, creaky, unstable or achy. 

Asthi Care Oil is a traditional medicated oil designed with this in mind. It brings together a sesame oil base with herbs like Moringa and Tagara, along with supporting botanicals, to help soften and lubricate tissues around the joints and support the body’s natural ability to clear local stagnation and waste. 

 This is a therapeutic oil, not a light cosmetic body oil. When gently heated and massaged into the affected areas, it is intended to nourish the bone and joint tissues, support circulation, and help ease long-standing stiffness and discomfort over time as part of a broader Ayurvedic care plan.

What This Product Does

Targets joint stiffness, dryness and deep-seated discomfort. 

Softens and lubricates joint tissues

Traditional herbs such as Moringa and Tagar-Ganthoda in a sesame oil base are used to support the soft tissues surrounding the joints, helping them feel less dry, tight and restricted. 

Supports bone and joint nourishment

In Ayurvedic thinking, regular warm oil application over joints helps nourish Asthi Dhatu, supporting strength and resilience in the joints over time

Encourages healthy circulation in problem areas

Warming herbs like ginger, along with the oil base, help stimulate local circulation. This supports the natural clearing of waste products from overworked joints and tissues. 

Complements care for chronic joint and muscular discomfort

Asthi Care Oil has been used within Ayurvedic practice to support people experiencing ongoing joint pain and stiffness as part of an overall plan that can include diet, movement, internal herbs and lifestyle changes.

Who It’s For

This oil is a good fit if you: 

• Experience stiff or aching joints, especially in your knees, hips, fingers, wrists, or spine – particularly in the mornings or after rest. 

• Notice your joints feel drier, crackly, or less cushioned than they used to. 

• Feel your joints more during cold, damp, or windy weather, or after long hours on your feet or sitting. 

• Want a warming, joint-focused Ayurvedic oil to pair with gentle movement, stretching, or yoga to support ongoing joint and bone comfort. 

• Are looking for a topical oil to support your existing plan for joint and bone health, rather than a quick one-time fix.

How to Use

Use as a warm, leave-on joint massage oil.

1. Warm the oil

Stand the bottle in a cup or bowl of hot water until the oil is pleasantly warm. This improves spreadability and supports deeper tissue absorption. 

2. Apply to affected joints

Pour a small amount into your palm and massage over the joints that feel stiff or sore (e.g. knees, hips, wrists, fingers, ankles or spine). Use gentle, circular motions around the joint and long strokes above and below it.

3. Work slowly into tight or painful areas

Spend a few extra minutes on spots that feel particularly tight, crackly or tender. Add a little more oil if needed. 

4. Let it absorb

Leave the oil on for at least 30–60 minutes; many people prefer to leave it on longer or overnight over small areas for deeper support. You can wrap or cover the joint with a light cotton cloth or old clothing and, optionally, apply gentle warmth (for example, a warm wheat bag or hot water bottle) for 10–15 minutes to enhance penetration.

 5. Wipe if needed

If any excess remains, simply wipe with a warm, damp cloth. A complete shower is optional; it is not necessary to wash off all traces of oil. Use older towels or clothing, as the oil may stain fabrics. 

How often? 

Use once or twice daily on problem areas during flare-ups, or several times a week for ongoing joint support, as advised by your practitioner. 

Note

For external use only. Contains medicated oil and camphor; avoid contact with eyes, mucous membranes and broken or irritated skin.

Ayurvedic Insight

In Ayurveda, Asthi Dhatu is the tissue system that includes bones, joints, teeth, and nails. It provides structure and stability to the body. When Asthi Dhatu is depleted or under strain, and when Vata lodges in the joints, you often see a pattern of pain, cracking, instability and stiffness. 

This can be made worse by cold, dryness, overuse, ageing and poor nourishment. Traditional joint care in Ayurveda focuses on two key ideas: lubricating the tissues externally with warm, medicated oils and supporting the clearing of ama (waste) from within. 

Asthi Care Oil is formulated in line with this understanding. Herbs such as Moringa, Calotropis, and Strobilanthes, along with supporting botanicals and a sesame oil base, are slowly processed to create a topical oil that is used to soften the tissues around joints, warm the area, and support the body’s own efforts to maintain healthy bone and joint function. 

Used regularly with warmth and massage, especially in the evening, Asthi Care Oil becomes a simple at-home ritual to care for your joints over the long term—aligning with Ayurveda’s view that consistent, daily support is key to maintaining comfort and mobility as we age.

Frequently Asked Questions

Frequently Asked Questions

Ayurveda is the ancient healthcare system of India. It is a Sanskrit word - Ayur means 'life' or 'daily living' and Veda means 'science'. Ayurveda then is the name given to the scientific study of life, based on the eternal principle that everyone should live in a healthy & balanced state.

The central principle of Ayurveda is that each human being has the right to live a healthy & fulfilled life (dharma), however, because of our unique body constitution, genetic inheritance and unhealthy diet & lifestyle choices, we are predisposed to certain diseases and health concerns.

Modern medicine treats symptomatically rather than looking to the root cause of the problem. This stems from the view that all people are more or less the same. Ayurveda’s special contribution is healing the cause of the symptoms by considering the uniqueness of each patient and by helping each body to heal itself. 

Ayurveda has perfected healing treatments and herbal preparations to keep the physical, mental and emotional health of a person in its prime throughout life. It is contrary to the current practice of waiting until symptoms appear before getting medical help or only seeking treatment when a disease manifests.

No. In fact, there are some Ayurvedic preparations that use animal products to treat specific ailments. However, Ayurveda recognises that meat is very heavy and the stomach struggles to digest it properly. Without the addition of particular kitchen herbs to aid digestion, this undigested food can become toxic, leading to many health problems.

Also, because meat is heavy it is considered Tamasic, the qualities of which can dull the mind, making it sluggish & heavy. Ayurveda believes that a heavy & dull mind is unable to make good choices for us, which again can be the cause of many ailments.

No. While it is true that many Ayurvedic recipes use Indian ingredients, you are not required to only eat Indian food. Ayurveda gives you the understanding of the role digestion and nutrition play in creating a healthy life and how food can be used as a medicine to treat illness. This awareness can be applied to all foods. However, it is true that Ayurveda considers many of the heavily processed foods in our Western diet to be detrimental to our digestion and good health.

• Traditional Ayurvedic products target the root cause of all illness rather than treating the symptoms of disease.

• Authentic Ayurvedic products will only be a combination of pure herbs & minerals and will never contain synthetic vitamins and other substances.

• Traditional Ayurvedic products while helping to dislodge toxins from deep tissue will also assist in the rejuvenation of that tissue.

• Ayurvedic products will help to revive the intelligence to that particular system/organ or tissue that has been affected by the build up of toxins. Once all the toxins have been eliminated one doesn’t need to keep taking these products.

Ayurveda has a simple treatment plan:

• Stop the further accumulation of toxins in the body by improving digestion. Food is then “cooked” properly, preventing the build up of toxins.
• Remove accumulated toxins from the body through herbal preparations and specific Ayurvedic treatments like massage.
• Nourish the depleted tissues through diet, herbal preparations & lifestyle changes.

• Ayurveda is based on the subjective understanding of the body.

• Ayurveda aims to improve the wellbeing of everybody and does not belong to a particular country or religion.

• Treatment is based on the individual as a whole.

• It is a much more systematic & holistic approach to achieve perfect balance between mind, body & soul.

• Whatever is present in the universe, Ayurveda recognises as also being present in the human body.

• The Universe according to Ayurveda is composed of the five great elements - Ether, Air, Fire, Water and Earth (Known as Panchmahabhuta).

• These elements are responsible for all the living and nonliving substances in this universe.

• The human body is also composed of the five great elements

• Man is said to be the microcosm of this macrocosm

• These elements are recognised in the form of three Doshas or biological humours - Vata, Pitta and Kapha.

• The three Doshas are the intelligences behind each and every function that occurs in the body:


Air & Ether = Vata


Fire & Water = Pitta


Earth & Water = Kapha



• The Doshas govern the psycho-biological and physio-pathological changes in the body.

• Vata, Pitta and Kapha can be found in every body cell, tissue and organ.

• The level of each Dosha varies from person to person which ultimately determines an individual’s body type (Prakriti).

• It is the most eco-friendly system of medicine as it only uses materials that are natural and compatible to the body.

• Each individual has a unique bodily intelligence that has the power to keep the body in perfect health as long as this intelligence stays in balance.

• Ayurveda gives us a detailed & logical explanation of way the body, mind & soul interact.

Some people feel clearer and more confident immediately because they finally understand what’s going on. Results vary based on the chronicity and depth of the imbalance. You can often feel a shift in energy, digestion, and sleep within the first 2–4 weeks of consistently applying the recommendations. Deeper, long-term conditions may require a commitment of several months.

No. Ayurveda is a root-cause approach. Results depend on consistency, and the most meaningful changes come from steady daily practice.
