Information about Ayurvedic herbal oils:
Oils play an essential role in many types of Ayurvedic treatments, whether for health care or therapy. The term "Thailam" comes from "Tilam," meaning sesame. Sesame seed oil, due to its excellent properties, is the most widely used base in the production of medicinal oils.
The first step, depending on the recipe, is to boil various plant ingredients in water. The boiling process continues until only a highly concentrated broth remains. This broth is then added to a base oil—usually sesame or coconut oil—and further boiled. A paste of plant and mineral components is added. The addition of ingredients, as well as the stirring of the oil, is accompanied by various mantras. The production time for an oil with a moderately complex recipe is usually more than 12 hours for two people using 20 liters of oil.
According to Ayurvedic perspectives and experience, the prolonged heating and stirring of the medicated oil makes it much easier for the human body to absorb it and integrate it into its metabolism. The oil also absorbs the properties of its ingredients and also works in a very subtle way.
