Product Description of Kottakkal Lakshadi Keratailam
Kottakkal Lakshadi Keratailam is an age-old Ayurvedic oil that’s been used for generations to ease fever and accompanying bodyache. It’s made on a rich sesame oil base, infused with laksha resin and a carefully curated blend of roots and resins, giving it a comforting warmth. You can massage it gently over affected areas or use it as part of a full-body Abhyanga treatment. The aroma is subtle yet grounding—sometimes you close your eyes and almost feel soothed before the oil even touches your skin.
People often tell me they notice a pleasant relief in muscles after a short rubdown; and yep, I find myself recommending it after a long walk or sports session too. It’s mild enough for daily use, though I usually advise starting small—see how your skin reacts, you know? A little stray note: some batches might appear slightly darker, that’s normal and from the natural resins in there.
