Lakshadi Keram - #4550

Lakshadi Keram is an Ayurvedic herbal oil that is indeed used to address dry, flaky skin, and skin irritations like the ones your son is experiencing. It is typically formulated with ingredients like Laksha (lac), Til oil (sesame oil), and other soothing herbs, which work together to moisturize the skin, reduce inflammation, and relieve itching. This oil can be effective for both children and adults, making it a versatile option for treating dryness, flakiness, and cracked heels, so it should be safe for both you and your son, provided there are no individual allergies to the ingredients. To use Lakshadi Keram, you should apply it generously to the affected areas, massaging it gently into the skin. It's generally recommended to leave the oil on for some time, either overnight or for a few hours, before washing it off. However, if you're using it as a moisturizer during the day, a lighter application may suffice. The oil can also be used to massage the body, which can be particularly helpful for soothing skin during colder weather, as it helps lock in moisture and create a protective barrier against dryness. As for the potential for allergies, Lakshadi Keram is typically made with soothing, natural ingredients, but it's always a good idea to do a patch test first, especially if your son has sensitive skin. Apply a small amount of the oil on a less sensitive part of his body (like the inner elbow) and wait 24 hours to check for any adverse reactions. Regarding the duration of treatment, you may start noticing improvements in a few days to a week, depending on the severity of the dryness and irritation. For winter skin care, this oil can be particularly helpful in preventing further damage from the cold, dry air. If you’re looking for more targeted results, applying it at night allows the oil to work deeply while your skin is in a more relaxed state. Overall, it’s important to monitor for any irritation or discomfort, and if you notice any, consult with an Ayurvedic professional. Lakshadi Keram should be used regularly for best results, but always keep in mind that consistency and proper application are key to seeing lasting benefits.
