Product Description of Kottakkal Vajraka Tailam
Kottakkal Vajraka Tailam is a classical Ayurvedic medicated oil crafted with utmost care at the renowned Arya Vaidya Sala, Kottakkal. It has a slightly earthy aroma, reminiscent of ancient herbal gardens, and a warm golden hue. Designed to treat skin imbalances of vata-sleshma origin, this oil targets stubborn conditions like infected fistula, chronic ulcers and other skin eruptions. The base oil, gently warmed with a blend of potent herbs, seeps deep into the tissues—ideal for those who’ve tried other remedies with little relief, trust me, I’ve been there!
The authentic process involves slow frying (puta niruha) in a mixture of kalatailam and gomutra, infusing therapeutic properties into every drop. Over time, practitioners observed its remarkable ability to cleanse toxins, soothe inflammation, and revitalize damaged skin. Use as directed by your Ayurvedic physician: regular application can lead to gradual, lasting improvements.
Although it’s traditionally used for external application only, you might notice a mild tingling at first—don’t panic, it’s normal. Just massage gently and let the oil work its magic. With persistence and correct guidance, Kottakkal Vajraka Tailam becomes a trusted ally in your journey toward balanced skin health.
