Common Questions
Honest answers to questions about botanical beauty and ancient practices.
Can I really use oil to cleanse my face?
Yes! Oil dissolves oil. Your skin produces sebum (oil), and botanical oils dissolve it gently without stripping your skin barrier. This method has worked for thousands of years across multiple cultures.
Will sesame oil clog my pores?
Pure, cold-pressed sesame oil is non-comedogenic (won't clog pores) for most skin types. It's been used for millennia in AyurNile Valley specifically for facial application. Patch test if concerned.
How do I know which botanical is right for my skin?
Start with sesame—it's balancing for most skin types. Acacia works internally for gut and skin health. Our guides explain dosha-based selection (Vata, Pitta, Kapha) for personalized choices.
Do these ancient practices actually work, or is it just tradition?
Both. They work *because* they've been practiced for thousands of years—traditions that don't work die out. Modern research is now validating what was always true about these botanicals.
How often should I do abhyanga (oil massage)?
Traditionally, daily. Realistically, 2-3 times per week is transformative. Even weekly practice offers profound benefits for your nervous system, skin, and lymphatic flow.
