Kerala Ayurveda Jathyadi Ghritham indeed has a reputation for being beneficial in treating skin conditions due to its soothing and healing properties. Made from a base of clarified butter (ghee), it penetrates deeper layers of the skin, providing moisture and aiding in healing. Here’s how you can make the best use of it.
First, ensure that you’re applying the ghritham on clean, dry skin. It’s important because any moisture left on the skin might hamper absorption. Use a small amount, just enough to gently cover the affected areas with a thin layer and massage it lightly until fully absorbed. Apply it once or twice daily depending on how your skin reacts—some might find once enough, others could benefit from twice daily use.
For enhanced benefits, warm the ghritham slightly before application, as warmth helps in better absorption. However, take care not to overheat it—gentle warmth is ideal.
Jathyadi Ghritham typically works effectively on its own without needing to mix with other substances. Still, if dryness persists, you might want to use a mild, natural moisturizer after some time to lock in hydration. It’s usually unnecessary but may help if your skin is extra thirsty.
Watch for any signs of irritation, even natural products can occasionally cause a reaction. If symptoms persist or worsen, a consultation with a healthcare professional is a wise step. And yes, patience is often key with Ayurvedic treatments—they tend to work gently and gradually by addressing underlying issues, not just symptoms.
If you’re uncertain about changes after using this ghritham, consider connectivity with lifestyle aspects like diet and hygiene too—ensuring you’re maintaining a balanced diet supporting pitta and with cooling properties can be important alongside it.
