Product Description of Kottakkal Dhanvantaram (7) Tailam
Kottakkal Dhanvantaram (7) Tailam, or sometimes I just call it D7 oil, has this is remarkable ability to calm aggravated vata and ease deep-seated aches. It’s warm, golden-hued, and smells of gentle herbs that almost take you back to an old Kerala clinic. Its name hints at the seven-fold preparation—yes (don't ask how the number 7 matters, it's traditional!)—where each batch undergoes seven oil-infusions in medicated decoctions.
This tailam is inevitable during pregnancy and after delivery. You may find it oddly comforting when massaged over the belly or lower back, it feels like a warm hug for tired muscles. For rheumatoid or osteo-arthritis, a daily abhyanga with Dhanvantaram oil can bring surprising ease; sometimes I wonder how simply oil can change the whole day!?
Physicians often recommend it for nasya (just a few drops in each nostril), sirovasthi (oil pool on scalp), or vasti (herbal enema) therapies. Folks say it’s broadly effective—plain Vata and Kapha-mixed Vata respond well. Also, those persistent neck pains and spondylosis-related back aches seem to soften under its care. Diy routines, professional Panchakarma, or a quiet self-massage—this oil can do it all. It's a little messy how we blend 7 times, but hey, that’s tradition at work!
