Scientific Name: Vitex negundo
Family-Verbenaceae
Common Name: nirgandi
Nirgandi or nirgodi is mainly used in the preparation of aromatic oil, which is used in body massage. It is prepared by taking 1 time oil (thill oil) and 5 to 10 times portion of nirgodi. The crushed nirgodi leaves are heated in the oil till all the moisture content is removed from the leaves. The extracts from the leaves come out into the oil, giving it a olive green color. This oil after cooling is removed from the crushed leaf pulp by, straining it through a clothe. As shown bellow…
Process 2: with cushions
It is always good to heat the extracted juice first and remove a vast amount of water from the juice before adding the juice into the oil. What it actually does is that it reduces the moisture content in oil and helps in faster preparation.
The juice should be first strained in a mesh or a thin cloth so that the residue is collected in a mesh and then the residue can be removed. This process does not let any water stay in the oil.
While labeling the bottle use self adhesive tape for the purpose.
Take color print out for the label.
Process: take 1 ½ kg of nirgudi leaves for 1 litter of oil. Heat the oil in a pan and remove the extra water content. Make a juice of the nirgudi leaves. In the mixer or grinder, remove the pulp by squeezing it.
