+What is Nagarjuna Maalathyaadi Keram Thailam used for?
Nagarjuna Maalathyaadi Keram Thailam (Malatyadi Keram) is a classical Ayurvedic medicated coconut oil, applied externally to support healthy skin, the body's natural handling of wounds, ulcers, cuts and skin eruptions and the healing and soothing of the skin. From Nagarjuna, a respected Kerala Ayurvedic house. For external use. Traditionally it is used to support:
The body's natural handling of minor wounds, ulcers, cuts and slow-healing skin
Healthy skin and the body's handling of eruptions, boils and skin infections
Soothed, clean, healthy-looking skin
+What is in Maalathyaadi Keram Thailam?
Malatyadi Keram is a classical wound-and-skin oil built on Malati (jasmine) and antiseptic, skin-healing herbs in a coconut-oil base, traditionally including:
Malati (jasmine) and Karanja
Neem, Haridra (turmeric) and antiseptic, healing herbs
In a coconut oil base
Together these antiseptic, skin-healing, soothing herbs in a coconut-oil base are traditionally valued for the body's handling of minor wounds, ulcers and skin eruptions, and for clean, healthy skin.
+Is Maalathyaadi Keram good for wounds and skin eruptions?
Supporting the body's handling of minor wounds and skin eruptions is exactly what Malatyadi Keram is most valued for. Applied as advised, its antiseptic, skin-healing herbs are traditionally used to support the body's natural handling of minor wounds, ulcers, cuts and slow-healing skin, support healthy skin and the body's handling of eruptions, boils and minor skin infections and support soothed, clean skin. It offers external supportive care; a deep, large, dirty or infected wound, a non-healing ulcer, a spreading infection, a wound from an animal bite, or any serious skin condition must be assessed by a doctor, since these need proper medical care, with the oil used alongside, not instead of, proper wound and medical care.
+How do you use Nagarjuna Maalathyaadi Keram Thailam?
Malatyadi Keram is for external use on the skin. A simple way to use it:
Gently clean the affected skin first.
Apply a thin layer of the oil to the minor wound, ulcer or affected skin, as advised.
Cover or leave as directed, and reapply as advised.
For external use only; avoid the eyes. For any significant, deep, dirty or infected wound, get proper medical wound care first, and use the oil only as advised alongside that care. Do a patch test first, and keep wounds clean. As a coconut-based oil it may solidify when cool; warm gently.
+How does Maalathyaadi Keram work?
Malatyadi Keram works through antiseptic, skin-healing, soothing herbs in a coconut-oil base. In Ayurveda, wounds, ulcers and skin eruptions involve aggravated Pitta and Kapha and impurities affecting the skin and the body's healing (vrana ropana), and Malati, neem, turmeric and the herbs help cleanse and support the affected skin, support the body's natural handling and healing of minor wounds and eruptions and soothe the skin, while coconut oil soothes and protects. As the skin and its healing are supported, recovery of minor wounds and eruptions is traditionally supported. This antiseptic, skin-healing, soothing action is why Malatyadi-type oils are classically valued for the skin.
+Which dosha does Maalathyaadi Keram balance?
For the skin, Malatyadi Keram mainly settles aggravated Pitta (heat, inflammation and eruptions) and Kapha (discharge, boils and slow healing), with its antiseptic, cooling, skin-healing herbs and coconut base. Wounds, ulcers and eruptions are classically linked to aggravated Pitta and Kapha and impurities affecting the skin, which the cleansing, soothing herbs settle. By cooling Pitta, clearing Kapha and supporting the skin's healing, it supports the body's handling of minor wounds and eruptions. This makes it suited to eruption-prone, slow-healing, heated-skin tendencies, used as external care alongside proper wound and medical care.
+When should a wound be seen by a doctor?
While Malatyadi Keram offers traditional support for minor skin healing, you must see a doctor for any deep, large, gaping or heavily bleeding wound, a dirty or contaminated wound, a wound from an animal or human bite, a puncture wound, a burn, a wound showing signs of infection (spreading redness, swelling, warmth, pus, increasing pain or fever), a non-healing ulcer, or any wound in someone with diabetes or poor circulation, since these need proper medical wound care, possibly stitches, antibiotics or a tetanus update. The oil is supportive external care alongside, not instead of, that care. A doctor can advise. You can buy it from AyurvedaBay.com, with worldwide shipping.
