Lakshadi Kera Thailam

Question

My toddler recently fractured his arm, and I was told that lakshadi kera thailam could help speed up the healing process. I’ve never used Ayurvedic oils before, so I’m not entirely sure about the benefits or application of lakshadi kera thailam. Does lakshadi kera thailam only help with bone healing, or does it have other uses too?

How should lakshadi kera thailam be applied for the best results? Should it be warmed up before use, and is it okay to massage it directly on the fractured area? I’ve also heard that lakshadi kera thailam helps with inflammation – does that mean it can reduce pain and swelling too?

Are there any side effects of using lakshadi kera thailam, especially on children? My son has sensitive skin, so I want to make sure it’s safe. Can adults also use lakshadi kera thailam for issues like joint pain or sprains?

If anyone has used lakshadi kera thailam for bone injuries, I’d appreciate it if you could share your experience. How long did it take to see noticeable improvement, and are there other remedies that work well alongside lakshadi kera thailam?

Lakshadi Kera Thailam is an Ayurvedic oil commonly used to support the healing of fractures, bone injuries, and musculoskeletal issues. It helps by promoting bone healing, reducing inflammation, and alleviating pain and swelling, making it beneficial not only for fractures but also for conditions like joint pain or sprains. To apply it, you should warm the oil slightly and gently massage it onto the affected area. However, avoid massaging directly on a fresh fracture – instead, apply it around the injured area to avoid irritation. Since your toddler has sensitive skin, it’s important to do a patch test first to ensure there’s no allergic reaction. Lakshadi Kera Thailam is generally safe for children when used appropriately, but always check with your Ayurvedic practitioner for specific recommendations. Adults can also use it for joint pain or muscle sprains with similar benefits. Improvement typically takes a few weeks with regular use. For additional support, it can be combined with other remedies like turmeric for inflammation or certain Ayurvedic tonics to boost bone strength.
