🌿 What It Is

Kethakimooladi Thailam is a classical Ayurvedic herbal medicated oil used primarily for musculoskeletal and joint‑related discomfort. It’s formulated by infusing herbs such as Ketaki (root of Pandanus tectorius), Bala (Sida cordifolia), and Atibala (Abutilon indicum) in a sesame oil base. This traditional oil is known in Ayurvedic texts and practice for its action on Vata dosha, especially when Vata is aggravated in the joints and spine.

🩺 Traditional Uses & Benefits

Kethakimooladi Thailam is traditionally applied for:

🔹 Joint & Bone Support

• Osteoarthritis & Spondylosis: Helps soothe stiffness, reduced movement, and general discomfort associated with degenerative joint changes and spinal issues.

• Vata‑related pain & stiffness: Particularly useful when Vata dosha imbalance shows up as neuromuscular pain, myalgia, sciatica, and numbness.

🔹 Muscle & Connective Tissue Comfort

• Can help relieve muscle soreness and tightness, especially in the neck, back, knees, and shoulders.

• May ease discomfort from chronic wear‑and‑tear conditions affecting connective tissues.

🔹 Circulation & Warmth

• The sesame oil base and herbal infusion help improve local circulation and heat penetration, calming discomfort and supporting mobility.

🧴 Key Herbal Ingredients & Their Roles

The classical formulation often includes the following herbs processed in sesame oil:

🧠 How It’s Used

✔ External Massage (Abhyanga):

1. Warm the oil slightly (optional).

2. Apply to the affected area or entire body (especially joints, spine, knees).

3. Massage gently for 10–15 minutes.

4. Leave on for at least 30 minutes before bathing for better absorption and effects.

💡 For chronic conditions like spondylosis, regular use (daily or as advised by an Ayurvedic practitioner) often gives better results than one‑time application.

⚠️ Precautions

• For external use only. Do not ingest unless under professional guidance.

• Avoid applying on broken skin or open wounds.

• Patch‑test first if you have sensitive skin.

• If irritation occurs, discontinue and consult a healthcare professional.

• Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight.
