1. Grown high in the Himalayas, not on the plains. Our walnuts grow at 6,500 feet. Walnut trees need long, cold winters to bear fruit, so they grow slowly in clean mountain air. Every golden drop is mild, nutty and naturally rich.
2. 100% pure, single-ingredient akhrot oil. One ingredient only: walnut kernel oil. No blending with cheaper oils, no added preservatives, no artificial colour or fragrance.
3. Nature's plant omega-3 and gamma vitamin E. Walnut oil naturally contains omega-3 ALA, omega-6 and omega-9, and over 90% of its fatty acids are unsaturated. It is also a natural source of vitamin E, mostly in the gamma-tocopherol form.
4. Akshota, the walnut of Ayurveda. Classical texts such as the Bhavaprakasha call walnut Akshota: sweet, unctuous, warming and Vata-balancing, valued as nourishing and strength-giving. Try the Pahadi night ritual of half a teaspoon stirred into warm milk before bed.
5. The finishing oil of the mountains. Drizzle it over salads, dal, khichdi, raita and parathas. For a quick Himalayan dressing, whisk 2 tablespoons walnut oil, 1 tablespoon lemon juice, 1 teaspoon honey, salt and pepper.
6. One bottle for face, skin and hair. Press 2 or 3 drops into damp skin at night. Warm it for a body massage on dry winter skin, lips and cuticles. Massage it into the scalp, leave for an hour, then wash for soft, glossy hair.
Him means the snow-capped Himalayas. Shuddhi means purity. It is our name and our promise.
