1. Introduction: Oils Beyond the Kitchen

For many, oils are thought of only as cooking mediums. But in traditional Indian households, oils have always been much more than that. They were used for cooking, skincare, haircare, and even wellness rituals. Yugansh wood-pressed oils bring this tradition back to life, allowing us to experience oils in their purest form—both in the kitchen and in our beauty routines.

This blog takes you through a day in the life of using Yugansh oils—not just for food but also for natural beauty care.


2. Morning Rituals: Nourishment Inside and Out

Mornings set the tone for the entire day. Traditionally, a spoon of oil with warm water was taken to promote digestion and immunity. At the same time, oils were used externally in massages to awaken the body and refresh the skin.

  • Oil Pulling: Swishing a spoon of sesame or mustard oil in the mouth helps detoxify and promote oral health.

  • Massage: Applying warm oil before a bath nourishes the skin, improves circulation, and energizes the body.

  • Cooking Breakfast: Using wood-pressed oils for cooking ensures that the day starts with natural, nutrient-rich food.


3. Midday Cooking: Flavor Meets Health

By lunchtime, oils make their way back into the kitchen. Using wood-pressed oils not only adds authentic flavors but also ensures nutrients are preserved.

  • For Frying & Sautéing: Groundnut and mustard oils hold up well under heat.

  • For Light Cooking: Yellow mustard oil is ideal for those who want mild flavors.

  • For Finishing Touches: Sesame oil is best drizzled on salads or curries for its earthy aroma.

With these choices, meals become a balance of taste and wellness.


4. Evening Self-Care: Beauty with Oils

Evenings are perfect for self-care. Oils have always been a part of Indian beauty rituals, from glowing skin to strong hair.

  • Hair Massage: Applying warm oil to the scalp reduces stress and strengthens roots.

  • Skin Moisturizer: A few drops massaged into the skin act as a natural moisturizer.

  • Relaxation: Oils like sesame are used in aromatherapy for calming the mind.

By adding these rituals, the day closes on a note of nourishment and relaxation.
