Product Description of Kottakkal Aswagandhadi Yamakam
Kottakkal Aswagandhadi Yamakam is an age-old Ayurvedic formulation crafted with care at the legendary Arya Vaidya Sala, Kottakkal. Its name hints at Ashwagandha as the star, but this potent oil-ghee blend also carries a symphony of classical herbs that support reproductive, musculoskeletal and wound-healing processes. Whether you’re seeking a therapeutic Basti oil or a nourishing massage formula, this Yamakam works gently yet effectively.
I’ve seen it used by practitioners for months-long therapies—there’s a slight greasy feel but it absorbs surprisingly well. It’s not just about fertility; it’s a great ally for joint stiffness and tissue repair. Many people, men and women alike, apply it around the lower abdomen and pelvic area, but it’s also used on arthritic knee or elbow regions. The ghee base makes it suitable for internal administration in precise doses, though that should always be guided by a qualified Vaidya.
This formulation brings a warm, grounding quality; you might notice a mild herbal aroma with faint sweet notes. Some users mention a temporary sense of heaviness after massage, but that’s a sign of the oil doing its deep work. Oh and little tip: store it in a cool spot away from direct sunlight to preserve its potency. Overall, it’s a versatile, nosh—time-tested—ally for Vata imbalance, helping you feel anchored from inside out.
