Product Description of Kottakkal Jatamayadi Churnam

Kottakkal Jatamayadi Churnam is a time-honored Ayurvedic herbal powder crafted expressly for external application. It draws from ancient Kerala traditions to deliver quick relief from stinging, heat and mild inflammation. The lightly fragrant pale brown powder blends smoothly with rice water, tamarind leaf juice or even simple rose water to form a calming paste. Just spread it gently over the affected area, and let its cool, herbaceous goodness soothe your skin!

You might notice a faint herbal aroma—think earthiness with subtle sweet notes—which is perfectly normal. And yes, it might feel a little scratchy until you add enough liquid, so take your time. It's a simple ritual: mix, apply, and let nature do its thing. While many modern creams mask discomfort, this classic churnam works from the roots to pacify burning sensations, ease pain and help reduce oedema. Great for small rashes, mild bug bites, hot spots and general skin irritations.

Some users even adapt it to full-body packs for summer heat relief or after-sun care—though originally meant for spot treatment. But hey, if it feels right, why not? Note: the formulation doesn’t come scented or colored artificially, so you may see slight variation in powder tone from batch to batch. That’s all part of the artisanal charm. Keep it in a cool, dry place & use within a year for the best effects.
