Question about oiling

There is a traditional oil used in Cimande Silat called balur oil. The oil contains a coconut base with herbs added. The oils ingredients are a secret known to a few familys in Cimande village. The interesting thing about this oil is that when the oil is being made mantras are uttered over it to empower the oil.
I have always thought that keris oil may have been made in a similar way. I know that the ingredients and preparation of some keris oils were also secret.
