Product Description of Kottakkal Kolakulathadi Choornam
Kottakkal Kolakulathadi Choornam is an age-old Ayurvedic powder blend, carefully grinded and mixed as per traditional scripts. It’s origin dates back to the celebrated therapies at Kottakkal Arya Vaidya Sala, where healers noticed remarkable ease in joint pains and inflammation. This Choornam is meant for external use only—simply combine with warm herbal oil or water to make a paste, then gently apply on the painful spots.
The texture is fine, almost velvety, and the aroma carries a light woody-herbal note that feels comforting and grounding. Being purely organic, it's free from synthetic chemicals so usually there are no side effects — though it’s best avoided by pregnant women. Often, one may feel a slight warming sensation upon application, just that’s normal and shows it’s active.
For centuries it's been trusted in cases of rheumatoid arthritis, paralytic stiffness, muscular sprains, shoulder pain and even facial paralysis. In traditional Udvartana massage it doubles as a gentle exfoliant, supporting fat reduction therapies. Over time, regular use helps restore Vata harmony, which governs movement, nerve function, and mental clarity. You might notice improved range of motion and reduced stiffness, allowing more freedom in daily activities.
It’s a simple remedy but powerful—mix, apply, and let the herbal synergy do its work.
