Product Description of Kottakkal Gulgulutiktaka Ghritam
Kottakkal Gulgulutiktaka Ghritam is a time-tested herbal ghee, lovingly prepared at Arya Vaidya Sala, that’s more than just an oil—it’s a vessel of traditional ayurvedic wisdom. Crafted via slow heating of Clarified Butter together with a specialised decoction of Guggulu resin and bitter herbs, it carries a subtle golden hue and a hint of earthy aroma. The texture is smooth yet remarkably rich, melting easily at body temperature.
While using this ghritam, many folks notice a gentle warmth spreading, followed by a subtly cooling after-effect—because the deep bitter herbs (panchatikta) pacify Pitta that’s run amok. Practitioners often recommend it before meals to support digestion, or during panchakarma as an anointing oil in snehana therapy. Traditionally, it’s applied externally on afflicted joints, or taken internally in small teaspoons with warm water.
Although it’s known for soothing skin eruptions like psoriasis, eczema and even stubborn abscesses, it doesn’t stop there. Chronic cough, sinusitis, asthma and general respiratory discomfort may also find relief. Some prefer it for mild arthritic aches, reporting smoother, more flexible movements. In fact, a few patients even say their skin feels softer and more hydrated after regular use.
It’s a multi-tasking formula: purifies blood by flushing toxins, regulates digestive fire and supports cellular repair. If you’re looking for a centuries-old remedy that’s been in Kottakkal’s hands for generations, this ghritam might just feel like a gentle, time-honored hug from within.
