THE ART OF MAKING
Centuries of tradition, handcrafted with love
Shankara's Kumkumadi oil is made using the ancient Ayurvedic process called Taila Paka — slowly infusing a blend of 32 herbs including saffron into organic sesame oil over several days. Each batch is hand-stirred over low heat. The process begins with an initial herbal infusion, then a simmering of select ingredients in milk before combining. It cannot be rushed.
