Arimedas Thailam is a classical Ayurvedic oil (Taila) dedicated to the care of the mouth, teeth and gums. It is named for its chief herb, Arimeda (Acacia leucophloea), joined with Khadira and a wealth of astringent and aromatic herbs. It is not a body oil but an oral-care oil, used in the traditional practices of Gandusha (oil holding) and Kavala (gargling), often known today as oil pulling.
Ayurvedic Significance
In Ayurveda, weak gums, sensitive teeth and unpleasant breath are understood as aggravated Kapha and Pitta with accumulated impurities in the Mukha (oral cavity). Arimedas is a classically astringent (Kashaya) and toning oral formulation. Arimeda, Khadira, Lodhra and the Triphala fruits tone and firm the gums, aromatic Lavanga, Ela and Twak freshen the breath, and the practice of holding the oil in the mouth draws out impurities and strengthens the oral tissues. It is regarded as toning, cleansing and Kapha-Pitta balancing for the mouth.
Traditional Uses and Benefits
- Gum support: Traditionally used to tone and firm the gums and support their health.
- Strong teeth: Valued for supporting strong, comfortable teeth.
- Fresh breath: The aromatic herbs support a clean, fresh feeling in the mouth.
- Oral cleansing: The practice of oil pulling helps cleanse the oral cavity.
These reflect traditional Ayurvedic uses and are not statements of medical effect.

Additional Information
This oil is written in several ways, including Arimedas, Arimeda and Arimedadi Thailam. The words Thailam, Tailam, Taila and Keram all refer to a medicated oil; the traditional oral practices are called Gandusha and Kavala, known popularly as oil pulling. These variations simply reflect different transliterations of the original Sanskrit and regional Indian names into English and refer to the same classical preparation.
