Mahua Oil (Illupai Ennai) – For External Use Only

Mahua Oil (Illupai Ennai) is derived from the flowers and seeds of the Mahua tree, known for its numerous uses. While the flowers and seeds are edible, the fruits serve as a vegetable. The seeds contain about 40% pale yellow oil, traditionally used by tribes in Odisha, Chhattisgarh, and Maharashtra as cooking oil.

Mahua oil is versatile, used as hair oil, skin care, vegetable butter, and in soap making. Its high sugar content makes Mahua flowers a source of energy. In some regions, Mahua flowers are consumed by breastfeeding women for their nutritive value, and used in pickles for medicinal purposes.

Medicinal Use

The Mahua tree is valued for its medicinal properties. Mahua flowers are stimulant, demulcent, laxative, anthelmintic, and cough relieving. They are cooling in nature and help treat cold, cough, bronchitis, and other respiratory disorders. Mahua oil is known for its galactogenic, pain-relieving, and vomiting-inducing properties, used in treating pneumonia, skin diseases, and piles. The tree bark is astringent and emollient, used for tonsillitis, gum troubles, diabetes, and ulcers. The leaves contain beneficial compounds and are traditionally used for chronic bronchitis, rheumatism, headache, and hemorrhoids.

    I really love this product. Price is higher compared to local suppliers but I like the quantity. I will recommend this to people. This can be used for both spritual and as cooking.
