Product Description of Kottakkal Brahmi Tailam
Kottakkal Brahmi Tailam is a time-honored Ayurvedic oil crafted by Arya Vaidya Sala, Kottakkal. Drawing from centuries old traditions, it’s a proprietary blend designed to revive the head region—hair follicles, nerve endings and all. The oil feels silky, earthy even, and warms gently when massaged into the scalp. Regular use can help reverse early greying, reduce hair fall, and calm a restless mind.
People often apply before bath for that fresh, cool sensation on their forehead—it’s like a mini retreat every morning. Some folks swear by Shiropichu or Shirodhara rituals using this tailam; others simply rub it in for 20–30 minutes then wash off. It may support mild blood pressure balance and helps relax those tense nerves. It's a revitalizer, and helps keep the head area active and bright. I personally find that a warm head massage with Brahmi Tailam kind of resets my thoughts… strange but true!
