Product Description of Kottakkal Eladi Tailam
Kottakkal Eladi Tailam is a time-honored Ayurvedic hair & skin oil. This medicated oil is made by infusing the goodness of over twenty herbs into a smooth sesame oil base. It’s famoused for its gentle yet effective action—reviving dull hair, calming irritated scalp, and imparting a soft glow to skin. Whether you’re battling dryness, mild dermatitis or just craving that natural shine, it works as an all-rounder remedy. I once tried it on my aunt’s ringworm patch; she swore it eased redness within days. The aroma of cardamom and myrrh drifts pleasantly, a reminder of ancient healing rituals. Use it externally, massage it in, and relax—you might even doze off to its soothing scent. Over time you’ll notice fewer flakes, less itch and a healthier-looking scalp. Remember, it’s not magic overnight, but consistently applied, this traditional Eladi Tailam is a game changer for hair and skin wellness.
