Your Complete Guide to Traditional Ayurvedic Thailams

In Ayurveda, Thailams are more than oils — they are sacred formulations infused with herbs, time, and intention. Each Thailam is crafted through classical methods outlined in ancient texts like the Ashtanga Hridayam and Charaka Samhita. Whether you're seeking relief from chronic joint pain, support during postpartum recovery, deep nervous system nourishment, or daily self-care rituals like Abhyanga and Nasya, this guide will help you choose the right Thailam for your unique needs.

All our Thailams are prepared in India by experienced Ayurvedic doctors and practitioners using cold-pressed oils, authentic herbal decoctions, and slow infusion methods.
