Botanical Name: Zanthoxylum armatum / Zanthoxylum alatum / Xanthoxylum alatum  Plant Family of Rutaceae 
 
Aromatic Description: Tomar is known as Xanthoxylum, Zanthoxylum, Tomar, and Timur Essential Oil. Ayurveda states that the tree of Tomar, known as Tumburu or Gandhalu in the Ayurvedic world, is yet another significant gift of nature to humankind. Tomar Seed Essential Oil, derived from the dried seeds of Zanthoxylum armatum—also known as Timur, Toothache Tree, or Indian Prickly Ash—is a rare and potent oil with a warm, spicy, and slightly citrusy aroma. Its intense scent is medium to strong, offering an energizing yet grounding presence. Spiritually, Tomar Seed oil is associated with protection, mental clarity, and resilience, symbolizing strength in adversity and the ability to remain focused and clear in challenging situations. Traditionally used in spiritual rituals and Ayurvedic practices, this oil has long been valued for its holistic benefits.
 
The oil is typically extracted through steam distillation and contains key chemical constituents such as linalool, limonene, β-caryophyllene, α-pinene, and myrcene. These compounds give it powerful therapeutic properties, including anti-inflammatory, antimicrobial, analgesic, and digestive-supporting actions. It is commonly used for relieving toothaches, neuralgia, muscle and joint pain, indigestion, and respiratory congestion. Its grounding qualities also make it useful in calming anxiety and promoting emotional stability.
 
In aromatherapy, tomar seed oil can be diffused for mental clarity or applied topically—always well diluted—for pain relief or digestive massage. It also plays a role in highly diluted oral care, honouring its traditional dental and gum health use. This oil blends harmoniously with frankincense, clove, bergamot, lavender, ginger, and cedarwood, creating powerful synergies for spiritual, physical, and emotional well-being.
 
Caution should be exercised when using Tomar Seed oil. It must be diluted properly before topical application, as it may irritate sensitive skin types. It is not recommended during pregnancy, nursing, or for young children without professional advice. As always, a patch test is advised before general use. Tomar Seed essential oil offers a unique blend of protection, strength, and clarity—making it a powerful addition to spiritual and therapeutic practices.
