Arthi Oil

$26 | 100ml
Some parts of the body complain louder than others – the same knee after stairs, the same shoulder after training, the same neck after a long day at a screen. Arthi Oil is a traditional Ayurvedic joint and muscle oil designed for these “this spot again” moments: a strong, targeted blend you massage into sore, stiff or overworked areas to support comfort and easier movement.

Detail

Arthi Oil is made for local, stubborn discomfort rather than general moisturising. It combines a medicated Ayurvedic base oil used traditionally for joint and muscle support with strong, penetrating oils like wintergreen and eucalyptus. Together, they create a warming, focused oil that’s ideal for the knee that plays up in cold weather, the lower back that tightens after a long day, or the shoulder that holds tension from training or work. 

A little goes a long way. Massaged into the area and followed by gentle heat, Arthi Oil helps soften tight tissues and encourage circulation. Many people keep it in the bathroom, gym bag, or by the bed as their “problem spot” oil – something they reach for when a familiar joint or muscle needs extra, targeted care.

What This Product Does

Targets specific joints and muscles that feel sore, stiff or overworked. 

Provides warming comfort to areas that tighten with cold, strain, or repetitive movement. 

Supports circulation around the area when combined with gentle heat, which can help the body’s natural recovery process. 

• Acts as a topical complement to general body oils or internal joint-support formulas as part of a broader plan.

Key Benefits

• A go-to oil for “this exact spot hurts” days – knees, shoulders, neck, lower back, wrists or ankles. 

• Helpful after sport, workouts, gardening or long hours standing or sitting.

• A small amount before bed with a warm pack can take the edge off evening aches. 

• Easy to keep in your bedside drawer, bathroom or gym bag so it’s there when a familiar joint or muscle flares.

Who It’s For

Arthi Oil may be a good fit if you: 

• Have one or two problem joints that often feel sore, stiff or complain in cold weather. 

• Experience muscle tightness or overuse from work, training, sport or physical jobs. 

• Hold a lot of tension in specific areas – like the neck, shoulders, or lower back – and want a simple way to support them. 

• Already use a general body oil but need something more substantial and more focused for localised discomfort. 

• Prefer a traditional herbal oil over synthetic rubs or very perfumed products. 

For external use only. Not suitable for broken or irritated skin. If you are pregnant, breastfeeding, or under medical care, consult your practitioner before use.

How to Use

For targeted joint and muscle support

• Apply a small amount of Arthi Oil directly to the affected area (for example, knee, shoulder, neck, lower back, or wrist). 

• Massage gently in circular motions until most of the oil is absorbed. Take a few extra moments to work around the joint or along the muscle.

• For enhanced comfort, cover the area with a warm compress or hot water bottle for around 15–20 minutes, taking care not to burn the skin. 

How often?

Use once or twice daily as needed, especially in the evenings or after activity. This is a medicated oil, so a little goes a long way. 

Note

Wash your hands after application. Avoid contact with eyes and mucous membranes. Keep out of reach of children. Store below 25°C, away from direct sunlight.

Ayurvedic Insight

As we move through life, certain joints and muscles tell the story more loudly than others. A knee that has climbed many stairs, a lower back that has carried children, a shoulder that has trained hard or worked at a desk for years – they don’t always recover as quickly as they once did. Cold weather, long days on your feet, a heavy training session, or even a simple twist can be enough to wake up old aches. In Ayurveda, a simple, time-tested approach to this kind of local discomfort is oil plus warmth

First, a targeted herbal oil is massaged into the area; then gentle heat is applied to help the body absorb it and to ease stiffness. Arthi Oil is made for exactly this ritual. Its herbal blend is chosen for its warming, penetrating, and comforting effects on joints and muscles that feel tight, stuck, or overused, whether from years of use or from training and sport. For many people, it becomes a small evening habit: a few minutes of rubbing Arthi into a familiar sore spot, followed by a warm pack. 

It’s a simple way to say “thank you” to the parts of your body that work hardest for you, and to help them move with a little more ease.

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.
