Cold Pressed Flaxseed Oil (अलसी का तेल) | Virgin | All Purpose Use

Advait Living Cold-Pressed Flaxseed Oil (Alsi Oil)

Our cold-pressed flaxseed oil is extracted from carefully selected, farm-grown flaxseeds without heat or chemical solvents. This gentle, single-press method helps retain the delicate Omega-3 fatty acids that define the true value of flaxseed oil. The result is a light golden oil with a smooth texture and mild, nutty flavour.

Each bottle is prepared fresh, only on order, to maintain its natural integrity and nutritional quality.

Rooted in Traditional Use

Known in India as alsi oil, flaxseed oil has long been part of traditional diets for internal nourishment. Flaxseed oil's benefits are largely attributed to its concentrated Omega-3 content and minimal processing. Since these essential fatty acids are sensitive to heat, consuming cold-pressed flaxseed oil fresh and unheated helps preserve its nutritional properties.

Nutritional Purpose & Daily Use

Naturally occurring fatty acid composition in alsi oil:

• Omega-3 (ALA): 55–65%
• Omega-6: 10–15%
• Omega-9: 10–12%
• Saturated fats: 9–10% 

Cold-pressed flaxseed oil is primarily used for nutritional support. Naturally rich in Alpha-Linolenic Acid (ALA), a plant-based Omega-3 fatty acid, it serves as a convenient way to balance essential fatty acid intake.

Health Benefits of Edible Flaxseed Oil: 

Edible flaxseed oil (alsi ka tel) has long been valued in traditional medical systems for its nutrient density and internal nourishment. 

Regular dietary intake of flaxseed oil supports:

• Balanced Omega-3 consumption
• Cardiovascular and metabolic health
• Digestive regularity in traditional use
• Skin hydration and elasticity
• Overall nutritional balance

It can be added to salads, smoothies, or drizzled over cooked dishes after cooling. Flaxseed oil is commonly included in routines that support heart health and structured wellness plans, including guided weight management programmes.

Note: Not recommended for cooking or high-heat use.

For Skin and External Care

Beyond dietary use, flaxseed oil is valued in skin care for its essential fatty acid profile. It may be used to support skin hydration and improve overall skin texture. When applied to hair, it works as a light conditioning treatment to enhance softness and manageability.

Freshness & Pricing

Each batch is pressed fresh in small quantities to protect nutrient stability and flavour. The pricing reflects careful sourcing, single-press extraction, glass bottle packaging, and fresh, small-batch preparation rather than large-scale industrial processing.

1. Locally Grown

Flaxseeds are grown locally at our regenerative farm and partner farms, which practise traditional and natural agriculture. This helps us monitor the quality and purity of the final product and preserve the natural flax oil nutrition.

2. Seed Selection

Flaxseed (alsi) is threshed manually and harvested to get high-quality seeds that are graded based on their oil content to ensure they contribute to the rich flavour and nutritional content of the oil.

3. Cleaning and Sorting

After harvesting, the seeds undergo a thorough cleaning process to remove any impurities, dirt or debris.

4. Cold Pressing Process

The hallmark of Advait Living's flaxseed oil lies in the cold pressing method. Seeds are manually pressed in a cold-press machine at very low rpm to obtain the oil. 

No toxic heat or chemical solvents are added, and no chemical processing of any kind is deployed at any stage. 

This ensures the natural flavour and nutritional properties of the flaxseed oil remain intact, preserving its benefits linked to Omega 3 retention and overall nutrition.

5. Naturally Sedimented

Following the cold pressing, the raw and unrefined flaxseed oil is allowed to naturally sediment. This step allows any impurities or particles to settle at the bottom.

6. Cold-filtration

After the sedimentation period, the oil undergoes a careful filtration process using a cheesecloth. This step removes any remaining particles or sediment, leaving behind a clear and pure flaxseed oil.

7. Packaging

The final product, now a fresh and aromatic virgin flaxseed oil, is elegantly packaged in glass bottles. The choice of glass ensures that the oil remains uncontaminated by external factors and retains its pristine quality until it reaches the consumer.

Glass Bottles: Our cold pressed flaxseed oil is elegantly packed in high-quality glass bottles. This eco-friendly packaging ensures the preservation of purity, with the added bonus of being reusable. Local customers enjoy discounts on refills, contributing to a sustainable cycle.

Sustainable Packaging: We're committed to sustainability. While our cold pressed oil orders come in plastic-free packaging for local orders, outstation orders may include plastic bottles and/or bubble wrap for efficient shipping. We encourage you to reuse or return our packaging, reinforcing our dedication to a greener, healthier planet.

Flaxseed Oil Uses in Ayurveda

Flaxseed oil has been used in Ayurveda, the ancient Indian system of medicine, for its numerous health benefits and therapeutic properties. Ayurveda, with its roots stretching back thousands of years, offers a holistic approach to health, focusing on balancing the body, mind, and spirit. The purpose of flaxseed oil in this system extends beyond nutrition to restorative and therapeutic applications.

Here's how flaxseed oil is utilised in Ayurveda and the various benefits it provides:

1. Mental and Physical Endurance:

Ayurveda approves of alsi oil benefits in combating fatigue and slowing down the ageing process. It's believed to enhance both mental and physical endurance by rejuvenating the body and supporting overall vitality.

2. Skin Health and Elasticity:

Flaxseed oil has Madhura (sweet), Picchaila (lubricous), Balya (strengthening), Grahi (moisture-holding), Tvagdoshahrit (blemish-removing), and Vranahrit (wound-healing) properties in Ayurveda. 

These qualities make it useful for treating skin issues like dryness, lack of elasticity, blemishes, and even minor wounds. It's also used in cases of eczema and psoriasis to soothe and heal the skin.

3. Vata Dosha Disorders:

Ayurveda classifies flaxseed oil as an excellent remedy for balancing Vata dosha, which governs movement and is often linked to dryness and other disorders related to undernourishment and lack of vitality. Regular use supports overall balance and skin nourishment, reflecting the true advantage of flaxseed oil when extracted without excessive processing.

4. Anti-inflammatory and Wound Healing:

Flaxseed oil is rich in essential fatty acids, including omega-3 (α-linolenic acid) and omega-6 (linoleic acid), which regulate prostaglandin synthesis and support the wound healing process.

This anti-inflammatory effect is valuable in Ayurveda for treating various conditions like gastrointestinal disorders, respiratory issues, and even joint and muscle pain.

5. Ayurvedic Preparations with Flaxseed Oil:

Flaxseed oil is often incorporated into Ayurvedic formulations to address a range of health concerns. These include:

• Flaxseed Tea: Used to alleviate respiratory issues such as asthma, bronchitis, and cough.
• Flaxseed Drink: Effective for relieving constipation and aiding digestion.
• Flaxseed Flour: When mixed with honey, it can help treat gastrointestinal issues, strengthen the nervous system, and support memory and concentration.
• Topical Applications: Flaxseed oil is used in ointments and compresses for external wounds, burns, and skin irritations.

6. Flaxseed Oil in Ancient Texts:

Ancient Ayurvedic texts like the Charaka Samhita and Sushrut Samhita mention flaxseed oil for its healing properties. These texts highlight its role in traditional medicine for addressing abdominal pain and respiratory issues and even its use in anti-tumoral treatments.
