Product Description of Kottakkal Asanavilwadi Keratailam

Kottakkal Asanavilwadi Keratailam is an age-old Ayurvedic oil lovingly prepared according to classical Kerala tradition that might just become your go-to remedy for head, ear, and eye concerns. A deep amber-hued elixir formulated by the skilled practitioners at Kottakkal Arya Vaidya Sala, this oil marries time-tested herbs in a base of cold-pressed sesame oil. You might notice a faint, grounding aroma that reminds you of monsoon evenings in Kerala. It’s a bit thicker than some other oils, but that’s by design—it clings, it seeps in, and it stays put.

Traditionally, this Keratailam is applied externally—on the forehead, around the eyes or over the temples—and often used in gentle Ayurvedic procedures like Shiradhara (a steady stream of oil over the forehead), Karnapoorana (ear instillation) or Tarpana (retention over the eyes). Whether it’s that dull, nagging headache after a long day at work, a noisy ringing in the ears when you wake up, or slight redness around the eyes, a little bit goes a long way. I remember trying it after a stressful exam season once—felt calmer, and my eyes didn’t burn at the screen as much.

There’s something comforting about the simplicity: pure oil, hand-picked herbs, decoctions infused at low heat, then filtered carefully. No crazy fragrance boosters, no harsh chemicals. Just a piece of ancient wisdom in a bottle. Be patient, give it a few sessions, and you might notice a subtle ease creeping in—maybe your head feels lighter, or that persistent ear fullness finally eases off. It’s not magic overnight but rather a gentle nudge towards balance, as Ayurveda always intended.
