What are the benefits of murivenna oil? - #21635

Alexander

I've been hearing so much about murivenna oil lately. My aunt swears by it for everything from aches to skin issues. I mean, she always has this glowing complexion, and she's been using murivenna oil a lot! So, I thought I’d give it a try since I've been dealing with some aches in my back after a marathon session of cleaning the house (ugh, why does that happen?!). I also feel like my skin has been pretty dry, you know? So, I guess I was hoping murivenna oil could do double duty? I’ve read some stuff about murivenna oil being great for muscle pain relief, but I’m kinda confused about how to use it. Should I just apply it directly on my skin or dilute it with something? Like coconut oil or something? I don't want to have a reaction or anything, so I was wondering if anyone had any advice on how to approach it? Also, just to throw this out there, I tried using some regular oil before for muscle sorenes and it didn’t quite help. Like, I rubbed it on for a few days but no results. So, I really want to make sure I’m doing this right with the murivenna oil! Some people say murivenna oil speeds up recovery for sprains and bruises too, of course I don’t have any of those right now (thank God!) but I’m curious about how it really works. I wanna be prepared for next time, you know? Anyway, how often should I use it? Daily? I’ve seen murivenna oil in shops, and I’m thinking of getting some soon. The way my aunt talks about it, it’s like a miracle in a bottle! But I can’t help but feel sceptical; has it really done wonders for anyone else? I’d love to hear your experiences! Also, does anyone have info on how long it stays good for once you open it? I really want to see if this can help me with my dry skin and these pesky aches. Maybe murivenna oil is my answer? Just dropping all my questions here! Thanks for any help! Fixing my aches and skin feels like a huge deal, even if it’s just home remedies, right? Especially since I don’t want anything harsh on my skin!

Murivenna oil is quite an amazing concoction from the realm of Ayurveda, and it seems your aunt might be onto something with her glowing endorsements. Traditionally, murivenna is used to address conditions related to muscle pain, joint pains, and even as part of post-fracture recoveries due to its potential anti-inflammatory and healing properties. It’s made with a blend of ingredients like coconut oil and herbs such as aloe vera and keringhotti, which are known for aiding in wound healing and soothing the skin.

When it comes to your back ache after cleaning, applying murivenna directly to the affected area should do the job. You don’t really need to dilute it further unless you’re particularly sensitive to oils. Just warm the oil slightly (do not heat it too much!), and then massage it gently into your skin, focusing on the aching muscles. Ideally, do this twice daily—preferably once in the morning and once before bed. This could potentially speed up the recovery of any minor muscle strains, and definitely help nourish your skin.

For your dry skin, murivenna oil can be a great moisturizer. Apply a little directly to the skin after showering when your pores are open, which allows for better absorption. It can hydrate and potentially give your skin that glow you’re admiring in your aunt. Make sure to do a patch test on a small area of your skin first to ensure there’s no adverse reaction since everyone’s skin sensitivity can vary.

On the topic of sprains and bruises, while you might not have any right now, applying murivenna oil to those affected areas can help in reducing swelling and promoting healing.

Do monitor the oil for any changes in smell or color, as these could be signs it’s gone off; typically, stored in a cool, dark place, it should be good for about a year after opening. Expiry might depend on storage conditions, though, so do keep that in mind.

It’s worth mentioning that while murivenna oil can be quite effective for mild conditions, if your symptoms persist or worsen, seeking professional medical advice would be wise. And, of course, a healthy lifestyle and balanced diet should always be the foundation for general well-being. Cheers to a potentially ach-free back and softer skin!

Dr. Ravi Chandra Rushi
I am working right now as a Consultant Ayurvedic Ano-Rectal Surgeon at Bhrigu Maharishi Ayurvedic Hospital in Nalgonda—and yeah, that name’s quite something, but what really keeps me here is the kind of cases we get. My main focus is managing ano-rectal disorders like piles (Arsha), fistula-in-ano (Bhagandara), fissure-in-ano (Parikartika), pilonidal sinus, and rectal polyps. These are often more complex than they look at first, and they get misdiagnosed or overtreated in a lotta places. That’s where our classical tools come in—Ksharasutra therapy, Agnikarma, and a few other para-surgical techniques we follow from the Samhitas...they’ve been lifesavers honestly. My work here pushes me to keep refining surgical precision while also sticking to the Ayurvedic core. I do rely on modern diagnostics when needed, but I won’t replace the value of a well-done Nadi Pariksha or assessing dosha-vikruti in depth. Most of my patients come with pain, fear, and usually after a couple of rounds of either incomplete surgeries or just being fed painkillers n antibiotics. And I totally get that frustration. That’s why I combine surgery with a whole support plan—Ayurvedic meds, diet changes, lifestyle tweaks that actually match their prakriti. Not generic stuff off a handout. Over time, I’ve seen that when people follow the whole protocol, not just the procedure part, the recurrence drops a lot. I’m quite particular about follow-up and wound care too, ‘cause we’re dealing with delicate areas here and ignoring post-op can ruin outcomes. Oh and yeah—I care a lot about educating folks too. I talk to patients in OPD, sometimes give community talks, just to tell people they do have safer options than cutting everything out under GA! I still study Shalya Tantra like it’s a living document. I try to stay updated with whatever credible advancements are happening in Ayurvedic surgery, but I filter what’s fluff and what’s actually useful. At the end of the day, my aim is to offer respectful, outcome-based care that lets patients walk out without shame or fear. That’s really what keeps me grounded in this field.

Dr. Anjali Sehrawat
I am Dr. Anjali Sehrawat. Graduated BAMS from National College of Ayurveda & Hospital, Barwala (Hisar) in 2023—and right now I'm doing my residency, learning a lot everyday under senior clinicians who’ve been in the field way longer than me. It’s kind of intense but also really grounding. Like, it makes you pause before assuming anything about a patient. During my UG and clinical rotations, I got good hands-on exposure... not just in diagnosing through Ayurvedic nidan but also understanding where and when Allopathic tools (like lab reports or acute interventions) help fill the gap. I really believe that if you *actually* want to heal someone, you gotta see the whole picture—Ayurveda gives you that depth, but you also need to know when modern input is useful, right? I’m more interested in chronic & lifestyle disorders—stuff like metabolic imbalances, stress-linked issues, digestive problems that linger and slowly pull energy down. I don’t rush into giving churnas or kashayams just bcz the texts say so... I try to see what fits the patient’s prakriti, daily habits, emotional pattern etc. It’s not textbook-perfect every time, but that’s where the real skill grows I guess. I do a lot of thinking abt cause vs symptom—sometimes it's not the problem you see that actually needs solving first. What I care about most is making sure the treatment is safe, ethical, practical, and honest. No overpromising, no pushing meds that don’t fit. And I’m always reading or discussing sth—old Samhitas or recent journals, depends what the case demands. My goal really is to build a practice where people feel seen & understood, not just “managed.” That's where healing actually begins, right?

Dr. Chirag Gupta
I am an Ayurvedic practitioner with around 10+ yrs of self-practice—yah, not a fancy institution label, but honestly that’s where I got the most real experience. My focus’s always been on classical Ayurveda, like the actual stuff from Samhitas, not just surface-level concepts. What drives me day to day is this one thing: giving people genuine care, where we don’t just ‘treat’ symptoms but try to actually heal and bring things back to balance. Most of my clinical approach revolves around pulse reading (Nadi Pariksha), Prakriti-Vikriti analysis and doshic assessment—yea, the traditional tools. These aren’t just ancient gimmicks, they really help me catch root issues that sometimes labs don’t even spot. And once I know what’s wrong at that level, I’m able to build treatment plans that feel custom-fit. Not just oh-here’s-a-herb types. It’s Ahara, Vihara, Aushadhi, and when needed, Panchakarma work. I mix these pillars based on person’s lifestyle, prakriti and even mental state. I mostly work with people who’re struggling with gut issues (like bloating, indigestion, weird acidity flare-ups), hormonal stuff (PCOD, thyroid, etc), joint stuff (spondylosis, arthritis) and also skin flares—psoriasis, acne, eczema you name it. My job is to go beyond “managing it” and try to re-align their systems through daily dinacharya, herbs and sometimes seasonal shifts too. And sometimes, it’s just about helping them feel heard. Prevention is another area I care alot about. Most people wait until their system crashes. But I guide patients about seasonal care—Ritucharya, basic detox routines, and even mindful breathing or yoga if they’re open to it. Over time, that makes a difference. I’ve seen patients change their whole trajectory with just little consistent shifts. People who stick with me long-term often say they feel more “seen” in consults, and tbh that means alot. I’m still learning, still refining—Ayurveda is so deep, you never really finish. But I stay rooted in authenticity. If you’re someone who wants to understand your health from the inside out—not just mask it—then I’d say we’d work well together.

Dr. Snehal Vidhate
I am Dr. Snehal Vidhate, born n brought up in Maharashtra—and honestly, for as long as I remember I’ve felt this pull towards Ayurveda. Not the fancy version ppl throw around, but the deep, real kind that actually helps ppl. I did my BAMS from YMT Ayurvedic Medical College in Kharghar. That’s where I got my basics strong—like really studied the shastras, understood prakriti, doshas, the whole deal. Not just crammed theory but started to see how it shows up in real lives. After finishing BAMS, I got into this one-year certificate course at Rashtriya Ayurveda Vidyapeeth, Delhi—honestly a turning point. I was super lucky to learn Kerala Ayurveda from my Guru, Prof. Dr. G.G. Gangadharan. He’s got this way of seeing things... simple but deep. That time with him taught me more than any textbook ever could. It kinda reshaped how I look at health, healing n how precise Ayurveda can be when you respect its roots. Right now I’m doing my MD in Panchakarma from SDM Ayurveda College, Bangalore. This place is like a hub for serious Ayurveda work. The Panchakarma training here? Super intense. We go deep into detoxification & rasayana therapy—not just theory again, but hands-on. I’m learning to blend classical techniques with today’s clinical demands.. like how to make Vamana or Basti actually doable in modern patient setups. My current practice is really about merging tradition with logic. Whether it’s chronic skin issues, gut problems, stress burnout or hormone stuff—my goal is to get to the root, not just hush the symptoms. I use Panchakarma when needed, but also a lot of ahara-vihara tweaks, medhya herbs, sometimes just slowing ppl down a bit helps. I really believe Ayurveda’s power is in its simplicity when done right. I don’t try to fix ppl—I work *with* them. And honestly, every patient teaches me something back.

Dr. Batu
I am an Ayurvedic doctor trying to bring the old wisdom of chikitsa into daily life, even if sometime I feel I am still learning new things every single day.. I work mostly with the classical principles, the ones I studied again n agin during my training, and I try to see how they fit with each patient’s prakriti and the tiny details of their health story. I am often thinking how Ayurveda doesn’t rush anything, it asks for understanding of the roga and even the rogi in a deeper way, and I keep that in mind when someone walks in and tell me their concerns. Some cases are simple, some not really, but I do my best to look at the ahara, vihara, dosha pattern and even the habits they don’t notice at first. Sometimes I get a bit caught up in analysing too many factors at once, or typing notes too fas and mixing commas,, but at the core I focus on using authentic Ayurvedic approaches—herbal formulations, routine correction, panchkarma suggestions where needed—and I try to guide people gently without overwhelming them. I am also aware that many patients come with doubts or half-heard ideas about Ayurveda, and I try to clear those without sounding too “doctorly,” just explaining what makes sense for their body. I want them to feel they can trust the process, even if progress take time or feel slow on some days. I am still growing in this field, and every person who comes to me reminds me why I chose Ayurveda in the first place: clarity, balance, and healing that respects the person as a whole. There are moments where I wish I had more hours in a day to study more granthas or revise a chapter I skipped, but I stay committed to giving care that is genuine, thoughtful and rooted in traditional practice—even if the journey gets a bit messy here n there !!

Dr. Maitri Bhavesh Kumar Acharya
I am Dr. Maitri, currently in my 2nd year of MD in Dravyaguna, and yeah, I run my own Ayurvedic clinic in Ranoli where I’ve been seeing patients for 2 years now. Honestly, what pulled me into this path deeper is how powerful herbs really are—when used right. Not just randomly mixing churnas but actually understanding their rasa, virya, vipaka etc. That’s kinda my zone, where textbook knowledge meets day-to-day case handling. My practice revolves around helping people with PCOD, acne, dandruff, back pain, stiffness in knees or joints that never seem to go away. And I don’t jump to giving a long list of medicines straight away—first I spend time figuring out their prakriti, their habits, food cycle, what triggers what… basically all the small stuff that gets missed. Then comes the plan—herbs (single or compound), some diet reshuffling, and always some lifestyle nudges. Sometimes they’re tiny, like sleep timing. Sometimes big like proper seasonal detox. Being into Dravyaguna helps me get into the depth of herbs more confidently. I don’t just look at the symptom—I think okay what guna will counter this? Should the drug be snigdha, ushna, tikta? Is there a reverse vipaka that’ll hurt the agni? I ask these questions before writing any combo. That’s made a huge diff in outcomes. Like I had this case of chronic urticaria that would flare up every week, and just tweaking the herbs based on sheetala vs ushna nature... helped calm the system in 3 weeks flat. Not magic, just logic. I also work with women who are struggling with hormonal swings, mood, delayed periods or even unexplained breakouts. When hormones go haywire, the skin shows, digestion slows, and mind gets foggy too. I keep my approach full-circle—cleansing, balancing, rejuvenating. No quick fixes, I tell them early on. What I’m hoping to do more of now is make Ayurveda feel practical. Not overwhelming. Just simple tools—ahara, vihara, aushadha—used consistently, with some trust in the body’s own healing. I’m still learning, still refining, but honestly, seeing people feel in control of their health again—that’s what keeps me rooted to this.

Dr. Ruchita Kareliya
I am an Ayurvedic doctor who’s kind of always drawn to the way small shifts can change everything. Not just in health but how we live, eat, sleep, even think. My main focus is helping people figure out what works for their body — like really works — by using Ayurveda’s core stuff: Prakriti, ahara, vihara, and aushadha. I mean, we all talk about balance, right? But balance means different thing to different people and that’s what makes it tricky and fascinating at the same time. I work mostly around diet and lifestyle, rooted in what’s laid down in texts like Charaka Samhita and Ashtanga Hridaya. But honestly, I don’t see Ayurveda as just some ancient thing to quote—it’s alive, practical, and super adaptable. Whether someone’s dealing with bloating, skin flares, stress that just won’t shut off, or low immunity that keeps hitting again and again... I try to map that to their prakriti and what’s thrown them off-course. From there, we fix it — usually with herbs, food adjustments, and daily tweaks. Not drastic stuff, more like tuning your day to your body’s rhythm. I do detailed consults, like not the 5-min fast fix thing. I spend time listening, making notes, digging into patterns. It helps me give advice that actually sticks, not just sounds good. There’s no one-size-fits-all here—like two people with acidity might need completely different solutions. That’s where Ayurveda shines. One of my biggest goals is just making people feel in control of their own health again. I try to give them enough knowledge, confidence, and support so they don’t feel lost when something feels off. I think once someone gets that their headache or low energy isn’t random, that it links to sleep or digestion or even seasonal stuff—they start healing already. I love when that shift happens. Ayurveda isn’t just what I practice—it’s how I live. If someone’s looking to sync their diet and life with their body’s actual needs, I’m always up for that kind of work. It’s slow, sure. But also really powerful.

Dr. Suchin M
I am someone who’s honestly just really drawn to how deep Ayurveda goes—like really deep—not just treating what’s showing on the surface but getting into what’s actually causing it underneath. I really believe that even those complicated lifestyle diseases, stuff like diabetes or BP or obesity that people think they’ll just have to live with forever, can totally be managed with Ayurvedic principles. Not magically or overnight, but through proper diagnosis, diet tweaks, daily habits, and herbs that actually work if you use them right. That’s the part I focus on—making Ayurveda work practically, not just in theory. After finishing my BAMS, I’ve worked with chronic conditions for over a year now in clinical setups. Mostly patients dealing with long-term stuff that doesn’t go away with one pill—usually the kind of disorders rooted in stress, wrong food choices or too much sitting. I’ve seen that if you really listen first, like actually listen—hear their story, feel where they’re coming from—half the work’s already done. Then when you assess their Prakriti, figure out where the doshas are out of balance, and connect that with their history (plus any modern test reports they might bring), it gives you this full picture that’s so valuable. My treatment plans aren't one-size-fits-all. Sometimes it’s about bringing agni back into balance. Sometimes just clearing aam helps. Most people are shocked that things like bloating or even periods issues can shift just by aligning food and herbs with their constitution. And if the case is acute or there’s a red flag, I have no problem referring for emergency allopathic care. Integrative care makes sense—Ayurveda doesn’t have to be isolated from modern medicine. My aim? It's not just to fix a symptom. I want people to feel at ease in their own body again. To build habits they don’t need to break later. To know their own rhythm, not just follow some generic health trend. That’s what Ayurvedic healing means to me... not perfect, but real.

Dr. M.Sushma
I am Dr. Sushma M and yeah, I’ve been in Ayurveda for over 20 yrs now—honestly still learning from it every day. I mostly work with preventive care, diet logic, and prakriti-based guidance. I mean, why wait for full-blown disease when your body’s been whispering for years, right? I’m kinda obsessed with that early correction part—spotting vata-pitta-kapha imbalances before they spiral into something deeper. Most ppl don’t realize how much power food timing, digestion rhythm, & basic routine actually have… until they shift it. Alongside all that classical Ayurveda, I also use energy medicine & color therapy—those subtle layers matter too, esp when someone’s dealing with long-term fatigue or emotional heaviness. These things help reconnect not just the body, but the inner self too. Some ppl are skeptical at first—but when you treat *beyond* the doshas, they feel it. And I don’t force anything… I just kinda match what fits their nature. I usually take time understanding a person’s prakriti—not just from pulse or skin or tongue—but how they react to stress, sleep patterns, their relationship with food. That whole package tells the story. I don’t do textbook treatment lines—I build a plan that adjusts *with* the person, not on top of them. Over the years, watching patients slowly return to their baseline harmony—that's what keeps me in it. I’ve seen folks come in feeling lost in symptoms no one explained… and then walk out weeks later understanding their body better than they ever did. That, to me, is healing. Not chasing symptoms, but restoring rhythm. I believe true care doesn’t look rushed, or mechanical. It listens, observes, tweaks gently. That's the kind of Ayurveda I try to practice—not loud, but deeply rooted.

Dr. Harsh Khandelwal
I am a fresher doctor stepping into practice with lot of curiosity and some nervousness too if i’m honest. My training gave me a foundation in Ayurveda principles, where health is not just the absence of illness but a balance between doshas, agni, dhatu & mind. I might not carry decades of expereince yet, but I hold patience and dedication which sometimes matter more than numbers. During study years I worked through cases of common disorders, watching how small changes in ahara-vihara and simple herbal formulations could transform patient comfort. It showed me that ayurveda is not about complicate plans but about restoring rhythm of body. I keep strong interest in musculoskeletal disorders like joint pain, stiffness, backache, where lifestyle corrections plus treatments like abhyanga, swedana and panchakarma therapies show amazing recovery. Also conditions of women health—PCOD, infertility, menstrual irregularities—are areas I want to focus deeply, as these affect daily living so much yet often stay under-discussed. I also learned about auto-immune conditions like rheumatoid arthritis, aamavata, psoriatic arthritis, how tricky they are, and I feel motivated to study and treat them further with careful, step by step methods. As a fresher, I know my journey just starting. I am still shaping my skills, still questioning which approach work best, sometimes even re-checking basic things twice. But I believe this stage is also strength, because I come with open mind, no rigid habits, and eagerness to listen. I do not rush into decisions, rather I take time to observe each case, to connect symptoms with underlying dosha imbalance. I feel each patient teach something new and every treatment outcome is like a page added in my learning. I may not be perfect yet, but I am commited to honesty in my care, keeping focus on natural healing, preventive health, and respecting both modern diagnostics and traditional ayurveda wisdom. For me it is about building trust slowly, showing patients that even a fresher can hold responsibility with sincerity, and growing together step by step.

Dr. Rashid Ali
I am a clinical dermatologist with two year experience working at Rajadhani Health Care Center skin clinic, located in Gola gokaran nath kheri. My day to day work focus on evaluating and managing common as well as complex skin conditions, and I spend a lot of time listening because skin problems are rarely just skin deep. I work in a busy dermatolgy clinic setting, where I regularly see patients with acne, eczema, fungal infections, pigment issues, hair and scalp concerns, and chronic skin disorders. The clinical exposure over these two years has helped me develop steady diagnostic judgement and a practical approach to treatment, even when cases dont look textbook perfect. My approach to patient care is careful but realistic. I believe treatment plans should be clear, manageable, and explained properly, even if clinic hours get hectic!! I try to balance medical accuracy with what actually fits into a patient’s routine, which is sometimes challenging but necessary. Working at Rajadhani Health Care Center has allowed me to serve a wide range of patients and skin types, and that variety keeps pushing me to learn everyday. I still double check things, I still think twice about long term outcomes, and that keeps my practice honest. Dermatology is always evolving, and I stay focused on providing consistent, clinical skin care that patients can trust, even on days when the workload feel heavy or unpredictable
