Karanja Oil, Pongamia glabra , is pressed from the seeds of the Pongam Tree. This cousin of Neem offers an array of similar therapeutic benefits to that of its pungent relative. Karanja Oil is prized for its insecticidal and antiseptic properties and is often used in pet care for the treatment of fleas, mange, and scabies. Its insecticidal properties also make Karanja Oil great for agricultural use, serving as a natural pest repellent. In skin care, Karanja Oil can be used to treat eczema, psoriasis, skin ulcers, dandruff, or to promote wound healing. While its therapeutic properties are similar to Neem Oil, its aroma is quite different. Karanja Oil has a milder, more versatile aroma than Neem Oil that is often described as nutty. Karanja Oil can be incorporated into body oils, salves, lotions, soaps, hair oils, shampoos, or garden sprays.

I made a scalp oil with this for an overnight lice treatment. I had great success. I also used and shared it later for seborrhea. It wrks well and is not nearly as strong smelling as neem.

I made some wonderful liquid body wash and shampoo with Karanja Oil for sensitive, dry itchy skin. I also made dog shampoo as both little ones get dry after commercial shampoo is used. This seems to help them too. They are not scratching, and their skin is a lot better.
