Chandanadi Thailam is a beautifully cooling classical Ayurvedic oil (Taila). It is named for its chief ingredient, Chandana (Santalum album, sandalwood), the most cooling and fragrant of Ayurvedic woods, joined by the suffix adi meaning "and others". Rich in cooling herbs and processed with cow's milk and Aloe vera, it is a much-loved oil for the body and hair, applied externally.
Ayurvedic Significance
In Ayurveda, a sense of internal heat, burning sensations, dizziness and restlessness are typically understood as aggravated Pitta disturbing the Rakta (blood) dhatu. Chandanadi is a classically Pitta-pacifying (Pittahara) and Daha-prashamana (heat-soothing) oil. Sandalwood, Ushira, Manjishta and Sariva are among the most cooling of herbs, and the milk and Aloe base deepen this soothing quality. Applied to the head and body, it cools excess heat, calms the mind and supports comfortable Vata-Pitta balance. It is regarded as cooling, calming and refreshing in nature.

Additional Information
This oil is written in several ways, including Chandaanaadi, Chandanadi and Chandanaadi Thailam. The words Thailam, Tailam, Taila and Keram all refer to a medicated oil, and Chandana (sandalwood) also appears as Chandan. These variations simply reflect different transliterations of the original Sanskrit and regional Indian names into English and refer to the same classical preparation.
