🌿 What Kottamchukkadi Choornam Is (Traditional Ayurveda)

Kottamchukkadi Choornam is a classical Ayurvedic herbal powder primarily used for external therapeutic application. It’s traditionally indicated for Vata-related joint and muscle issues, such as pain, stiffness, sciatica, and inflammation.

🌱 Key Uses

• Relieves joint pain and stiffness (e.g., knee, shoulder, back discomfort).

• Helps with sciatica and spondylosis symptoms (pain radiating along nerves).

• Reduces swelling (edema) and inflammation in affected areas.

• Supports muscular relaxation and mobility when used in therapeutic massage or paste.

It is commonly used in Ayurvedic therapies like herbal paste application, Podikizhi (herbal powder pouch massage), or mixed with warm oil for localized relief.

1. Make a paste: Mix 1–2 teaspoons of powder with warm sesame/coconut oil or water.

2. Apply on affected joints/muscles: Gently massage for a few minutes.

3. Leave on: 15–30 min (or as recommended) before washing.

4. Use up to twice daily or per Ayurvedic guidance.
