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, sesame. Due to its excellent properties, sesame seed oil is the most commonly used base in the production of medicinal oils.
The first step is to boil various plant ingredients in water, depending on the recipe. The cooking process lasts until only a highly concentrated broth remains. This broth is then added to a base oil - usually sesame or coconut oil - and boiled further. A paste made 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 time it takes to make an oil with a moderately complex recipe is usually more than 12 hours for two people with 20 liters of oil.
According to Ayurvedic perspectives and experience, the medicated oil is much easier for the human body to absorb and incorporate into its metabolism due to the long heating and stirring process. The oil has also taken on the properties of its ingredients and also works in a very subtle way.
