Product Description of Kottakkal Marichadi Tailam
Kottakkal Marichadi Tailam is a traditional Ayurvedic oil blend from the renowned Arya Vaidya Sala at Kottakkal. This precious tailam has been used for generations to ease chronic rhinitis and sinusitis, yet it’s versatile enough for full-body massage too. The golden-brown hue shimmers when you warm it slightly – there’s a rustic charm in it, like an age-old alchemy. It’s not just for head or sinus, though; people find it surprisingly great for achy shoulders after a long day at desk work. The fragrance is bold and peppery, a quick whiff can clear your mind, almost like a gentle herbal wake-up call. I remember my grandmother mixing a drop with coconut oil on her scalp on Sundays, and the aroma would drift through the house, a memory etched with comfort.
Use it 30–60 minutes before bath and allow those warming essences to seep in. Whether you’re struggling with sinus blockages or seeking a calming head massage routine, Marichadi Tailam lets you feel like you’re performing a little ceremony at home. Just a note: a small stain can linger if you don’t wash thoroughly, so don’t skip the prakashana (mild soap wash) after.
