Karpooradi Thailam by Sitaram Ayurveda

A popular yoga from the Sahasra Yoga, Taila Prakarana, Karpooradi Thailam is widely used for its acute pain-relieving properties. It is simple preparation of sesame oil infused with the potent anti-inflammatory properties of Ajamoda (Trachyspermum roxburghianum) and Camphor (Cinnamomum camphora).

Abhyanga or ‘massage’ is an important part of the Dinacharya (Daily routine) prescribed by Ayurvedic literature. Scriptures suggest the use of suitable oils massaged in the direction of hair growth and around joints, to pacify aggravated doshas and maintain balance. Karpooradi Thailam is ideal for the winter months when the ‘Vata’ element is aggravated in the body and manifests as aches, pains and rigidity all over the body.

Karpooradi thailam is a pain-relieving oil. It may be used on its own or in combination with other treatment methods. Karpura (camphor) is the central ingredient used in the oil. It is blended along with Ajamoda and other herbs in a sesame oil base.
