Product Description of Sitaram Chinchadi Thailam
Sitaram Chinchadi Thailam is a time-honoured Ayurvedic massage oil, crafted according to classical Kerala principles. Derived primarily from tamarind (Chincha Swarasa) and infused in cold-pressed sesame oil (Tila Taila), this unique blend feels warm and comforting when applied, gently penetrating into muscles and joints. Ayurveda considers Vata as the element governing movement and neurological functions – and when Vata becomes erratic, one may experience stiffness, joint pain or neurological niggles.
This oil is often used in Abhyanga (therapeutic massage) and Dhara treatments: warm oil is slowly poured or massaged, helping to pacify aggravated Vata, reduce inflammation and tone nervous tissue. Over centuries, practitioners in Kerala have relied on Chinchadi Thailam for its calming aroma and affinity for Vata disorders such as arthritis, paralysis, muscle spasms, and neuropathic discomfort.
The formulation includes a carefully ground paste of botanicals like Moringa (Shigru), Stadardized Vateria (Sarja) and Boswellia resin (Arjaka), combined with five traditional salts (Panchalavana) to enhance the oil’s therapeutic reach. It’s said that a good quality Chinchadi Thailam warms the joints, quietens the mind and brings a sense of grounding that you can actually feel. In daily life, a little massage with this oil helps restore balance after long hours at the desk, or after intense physical activity. Give your body that old-world healing touch – sometimes simple traditions are the best.
