Product Description of Kottakkal Gandharvahasthadi Eranada Tailam
Kottakkal Gandharvahasthadi Eranada Tailam is an age-old Ayurvedic oil, crafted with care in the traditional South Indian lineage. The golden-hued oil carries a mild spicy aroma, a hint of warming castor oil and ginger notes that remind you of a rustic apothecary. It’s primarily taken internally, in small doses, and used over days or weeks to support digestion, ease gas, and even out those days when your abdomen feels heavy and distended.
It’s not a miracle cure, mind you, but a slow, soothing support system. Many folks like to start with just five drops—once or twice daily before meals—rising up to ten if needed. And if you're under Panchakarma therapy, the dose may be bumped further under expert supervision (Virechana, specifically). You'll notice it’s a little oily on the tongue, but that’s how you know the herbal goodness is working. Remember, subtle shifts over time rather than overnight changes.
There’s a rustic charm about this tailam: you might sense slight sediment or mild cloudiness—that’s pure herbal essence settling in. Just give it a gentle swirl before use. Keep it at room temp, away from direct sunlight, and it’ll last through your course of treatment. Enjoy that tiny ritual of self-care, drop by drop.
