Nagarjuna Laakshaadi Thailam

Nagarjuna Laakshaadi Thailam (Lakshadi Thailam) is a classical Ayurvedic medicated oil built on Laksha (lac) and bone-and-strength herbs, applied externally, especially as a children's massage oil, to support healthy growth, strong bones and muscles, immunity and nourished skin. From Nagarjuna, a respected Kerala Ayurvedic house. For external use, especially for children. Traditionally it is used to support:

• Healthy growth and strong bones and muscles in children, through massage
• Immunity, strength and the body's natural resilience
• Soft, nourished skin and comfortable, settled babies and children

Laksha (lac) is a classical Ayurvedic ingredient especially valued for the bones and strength. Lakshadi Thailam is built on Laksha with bone-and-strength herbs in a nourishing oil base, traditionally including:

• Laksha (lac), the key bone-strengthening ingredient
• Bone-and-strength herbs such as Ashwagandha and Manjistha
• In a nourishing oil base (often coconut or sesame)

Together these bone-strengthening, nourishing herbs in an oil are traditionally valued especially as a children's massage oil for healthy growth, strong bones and immunity.

Supporting healthy growth and strong bones through massage is exactly what Lakshadi Thailam is most valued for, especially for children. Used in gentle massage as advised, its bone-and-strength herbs are traditionally used to support healthy growth and strong bones and muscles, support immunity, strength and resilience and support soft, nourished skin and settled, comfortable babies and children. Laksha is classically valued for the bones. It offers gentle external care; a skin condition, rash, any health concern in the child, or use in newborns should be checked with your paediatrician, with the oil used as part of gentle baby-and-child care, not as a treatment.

Lakshadi Thailam is for gentle external massage, especially for children. A simple way to use it:

1. Warm a little oil gently in your hands (test the temperature first).
2. Massage the child's arms, legs, back and body with soft, gentle strokes, usually before a bath.
3. Leave it on a short while, then give a warm bath. Use it once daily or as advised.

For external use only; avoid the eyes, mouth and broken skin. Do a patch test first, never leave a baby unattended (oil is slippery), and check with your paediatrician before using oils on a newborn. Adults can also use it for bone-and-strength massage.

Lakshadi Thailam works through Laksha (lac) and bone-and-strength herbs in a nourishing oil base, applied through gentle massage. In Ayurveda, regular oil massage (abhyanga) is valued for children to settle Vata, nourish and strengthen the growing bones, muscles and tissues, support healthy growth and immunity, soften and nourish the skin and soothe and settle the child, while Laksha is classically valued for the bones. As the child is massaged, nourished and strengthened, healthy growth, strong bones and calm are traditionally supported. This bone-strengthening, nourishing, soothing massage action is why Lakshadi Thailam is a treasured children's oil.

For children, gentle massage with Lakshadi Thailam mainly settles Vata, the light, mobile dosha that benefits from grounding, nourishing oil and soothing touch, supporting calm, comfort and healthy growth, while the bone-strengthening herbs nourish the growing bones (asthi, governed by Vata). Children naturally benefit from Vata-settling, nourishing, bone-strengthening care, which the warm oil massage provides. By settling Vata and nourishing and strengthening the bones, muscles and tissues, it supports healthy growth, strong bones and calm. This makes gentle daily massage with Lakshadi Thailam a lovely traditional part of children's (and adults') strengthening care.

It is especially treasured as a children's massage oil, valued for healthy growth, strong bones and immunity, but it is not only for children: its bone-strengthening, nourishing, Vata-pacifying qualities (with Laksha classically valued for the bones) make it useful for adults too, for strengthening massage, bone support and Vata-type weakness. For babies and newborns, extra care and a paediatrician's advice are wise. It is gentle external supportive care, not a treatment for any condition, including any bone condition, which needs medical assessment. A practitioner can advise.

Nagarjuna Laakshaadi Thailam is generally gentle and safe as an external massage oil when used carefully, but a few precautions apply:

• For external use only; avoid the eyes, mouth and broken skin, and do a patch test first.
• For babies, warm it gently and test the temperature, never leave the child unattended (oil is slippery), and check with your paediatrician for newborns or any skin or health concern.
• Check the ingredients for allergies (such as sesame), and stop if irritation occurs.
• It is supportive care; any bone, skin or health condition should be assessed by a doctor.

It is supportive care and is not intended to diagnose, treat or cure any disease.
