Preparation:
- Grind Brahmi into a coarse dry powder and keep aside. You can do this easily in a domestic blender.
- Pulp the fresh gooseberries separating the seeds. Obtain 50 gms of fresh pulp from 200 gms of the fruit. (If using the dried fruit, make a paste).
- Take Sesame oil in a steel vessel. Add Brahmi powder, gooseberry paste, and water. Boil on a low flame.
- Stir the concoction repeatedly. When the water has evaporated completely and only the oil remains, put off the flame. Allow it to become tepid. Strain the oil through a double-layered muslin cloth. Add the perfuming
- oil on cooling.
- Transfer the decoction into a narrow-mouthed bottle and secure the cap tightly.
