HEALING AND REJUVENATING POWER OF AYURVEDIC OILS

Ayurveda, the holistic health care system prescribes usage of different medicated oils for application on the body, with or without massage for providing health benefits and to treat specific diseases. While most of the medicated oils are for external usage, certain types of medicated oils that are processed with milk are administered orally or by enema as well. Ayurvedic herbs are specially cooked up in an oil  base by following ancient formulas with centuries of experience. Ayurvedic oils are known as Thailam in which coconut oil, castor oil, sesame oil and/ or ghee is used for the preparation.

  • Sesame oil: This oil reduces Vata. It is good for promoting strength and health of skin. When mixed with other herbs, sesame oil absorbs their properties without losing its own, making it a popular base oil.
