Product Description of Kottakkal Balahathadi Tailam

Kottakkal Balahathadi Tailam is a time-honoured Ayurvedic oil blend, crafted meticulously in Kerala’s ancient tradition. This herbal tailam harnesses coconut and sesame base oils infused with a synergy of herbs, designed to ease headache discomfort and invite serene peace. Its warm, light aroma conjures memories of temple courtyards at dawn, where dew still clings to leaves — it feels almost mystical.

We love how simple it feels to apply: just a little onto your forehead or scalp and gentle massage invites instant relief. Sure, at first you might wonder if an oil can really do this – but over days you’ll notice less throbbing and fewer sleepless nights. Many users report feeling a remarkable shift in their overall head-space, like a fog lifting away.

Formulated by Kerala Ayurveda experts, this tailam blends water-decocted extracts of revered herbs into sesame oil, then filtered to capture both oil-and water-soluble plant actives. The result is a subtle golden oil that’s non-staining, mild on hair, and potent in effects. Whether part of your self-care evening ritual or used in specialized Panchakarma therapies like Shirodhara and Shirovasti, Balahathadi Tailam stands ready to soothe the mind and balance Vata.

Note: stored away from direct sunlight, it stays fresh for months but may change hue slightly over time — totally natural, no compromise on quality.
