Nestled at the foothills of Arunachala, Tiruvannamalai sits at the edge of the Eastern Ghats — a land blessed with biodiversity, rich red loam, and a heritage of Siddha healing. Extractika harvests medicinal herbs and aromatic plants grown in this sacred soil, extracting their essence through traditional steam distillation.
Every bottle carries the memory of the Javadhu Hills, the scent of vetiver from the valleys, and the purity that only ancient land can offer.
Each oil is distilled from botanicals native to or abundantly cultivated in the Tiruvannamalai region — honouring the land and its traditional knowledge.
Extractika employs two precision extraction methods — traditional steam distillation and cutting-edge supercritical CO₂ extraction — each chosen to best honour a botanical's unique chemistry.
Supercritical CO₂ extraction is the pinnacle of modern phytochemistry — utilising carbon dioxide held at precise temperature and pressure thresholds where it behaves as both a liquid and a gas. The result is an extract of exceptional purity, potency, and complexity that steam distillation simply cannot replicate for certain botanicals.
The Javadhu Hills of Tiruvannamalai have been a living pharmacy for the Malayali tribes for centuries. Their knowledge of these plants is our greatest guide.
Extractika supplies aromatherapy brands, cosmetic manufacturers, Ayurvedic formulators, spa & wellness brands, and export buyers. Minimum order quantities apply for bulk.
