sanda animal - #2512

Anonymously

I’ve been hearing about oils made from the sanda animal that are supposedly used in Ayurveda for boosting stamina and improving joint health. Honestly, I’m curious about whether this is a legitimate practice or just a myth. The concept of sanda oil comes up often in conversations about natural remedies for strength, but I can’t find much reliable information on it. What exactly is the sanda animal, and how is it used in Ayurvedic or traditional remedies? Is it ethical or even safe to use products derived from this animal? I’m concerned about the origins of such remedies and whether they’re scientifically proven to be effective. I’ve also heard claims that oils made from the sanda animal are used to treat conditions like arthritis, sexual weakness, or chronic fatigue. Are these claims true, or is this more of a folk remedy than a verified Ayurvedic treatment? If anyone has tried such remedies, what was your experience? Additionally, are there plant-based alternatives in Ayurveda that can provide the same benefits without involving the sanda animal? I’d prefer using herbal options if they’re equally effective.

Doctors’ responses

In Ayurveda, the concept of oils or remedies derived from animals like the sanda (or commonly referred to as sanda oil) is not a standard practice and raises ethical concerns. The sanda animal is not widely recognized in Ayurvedic texts, and any oils derived from animals should be approached with caution due to sustainability, ethical, and safety issues. Ayurveda does recommend herbal oils for boosting stamina, improving joint health, and treating conditions like arthritis or fatigue. Some common plant-based alternatives that offer similar benefits include: Ashwagandha oil: Strengthens the body, boosts energy, and supports joint health. Turmeric oil: Anti-inflammatory and beneficial for pain relief. Bala (Sida cordifolia) oil: Improves muscle strength and relieves joint pain. These plant-based oils are safe, effective, and ethical alternatives to animal-derived oils, offering the same therapeutic benefits without concerns about their origin. Always consult with an Ayurvedic practitioner for personalized and safe remedies.
