Zandu Ortho Vedic Oil, being an herbal formulation, is designed to assist in relieving joint and muscle pain. It contains a blend of Ayurvedic ingredients like Maha Mash Tel, Mahanarayan Tel, and eucalyptus oil. These ingredients are traditionally known for their anti-inflammatory and pain-relieving properties. To use it effectively, you should apply a small amount of the oil gently on the affected area. It’s advisable to massage it in circular motions for about 5 to 10 minutes to ensure it penetrates deeply into the skin and muscle tissue.
You could do this application twice daily, ideally once in the morning and again in the evening. After applying, allow the oil to absorb for at least 30 minutes before washing it off, if desired. Avoid exposing the area to cold or direct wind after application, as this may counteract the warmth-giving properties of the oil.
Regarding side effects, natural oils like these are generally safe but can cause skin irritation for some users, especially if they have sensitive skin. It’s practical (woops, I mean) practical to do a patch test first by applying a little oil on a less sensitive area to check for any adverse reaction.
Besides this, remember to look at underlying causes too. Persistent joint pain might indicate vata imbalance, often aggravated by improper diet or lifestyle. Consider including warm, moist foods in your diet to balance vata and practice gentle exercises like yoga tailored to joint health. Don’t delay consulting a healthcare provider for severe, unexplained pain to rule out any potential serious conditions.
