Product Description of Kottakkal Durvadi Keratailam
Kottakkal Durvadi Keratailam is an age-old Ayurvedic herbal oil, lovingly crafted in Kerala’s traditional madhurapaka style. It draws on the soothing virtues of Durva grass (Cynodon dactylon), infused into a pure oil base. Over at Kottakkal, this formula has been handed down, tweaked ever so slightly by experienced vaidya, to bring both scalp and skin back into balanced harmony.
The oil glides on smooth and feels surprisingly light for a medicated preparation—no heavy sticky residue to trouble your senses. Nighttime use is a favorite: massage gently into affected areas, leave on while you sleep, and rinse or cleanse in the morning for a refreshed, calm feeling. For scalp care, it tackles persistent itching and pesky flakes, helping you greet the day with renewed confidence. When applied to minor wounds or irritated patches, Durvadi Keratailam works quietly but steadily, encouraging gentle healing and preventing dryness or roughness.
We love how each batch retains a warm, grassy aroma—like stepping into a courtyard of dew-kissed Durva blades at dawn. It’s subtle, comforting, and reminds you that real ingredients are at work. Just a small drop goes a long way, making it an economical choice as well. Though it’s been part of traditional practice for centuries, we’ve reintroduced it for modern needs—so that daily life’s scrapes and scalp troubles needn’t slow you down or keep you up at night.
