What is Celastrus? Celastrus paniculatus oil is a pressed raw herbal oil expressed from the seeds of Celastrus panuculatis, a shrub native to India.   While Celastrus oil has been used in India for centuries it is only within the past few years that it has started to become known outside of Ayurvedic medicine, the traditional medicinal practice of India.

Traditionally the oil has been used to enhance memory and facilitate learning. It is reported to induce a feeling of well-being and have aphrodisiac effects.

 

What's been written about Celastrus? As reported in a variety of sources, Celastrus is used as an "…aphrodisiac…as a powerful brain tonic…" to "…stimulate intellect, sharpen memory, increase intelligence"(1) "…to promote intelligence… stimulatory effects on intellect and memory have been reported…it improves memory process in rats and produced improvements in IQ in mentally retarded children…" (2) "…seeds and oil stimulate intellect and sharpen memory…it is known as Magszudhi (brain clearer) and believed to promote intelligence…" (3) "….for stimulating the intellect and sharpening memory…" (4) "…brain tonic…stimulant…intellect promoting and sharpening the memory…" (6) "…Oil extracted from the seeds is known to affect the CNS; reputed in Indian literature to promote intelligence.

It improves memory processes in rats, and produced improvement in IQ in mentally retarded children…does not have any lethal or neurotoxic effects…" (2)
