Nerve & Mobility

Why we would rather you spoke to someone first

Kerala is known for this group, and it is the most carefully described in the classical literature. It is also the group we are least comfortable selling without context. Traditionally these belong to a supervised course — alongside therapy, diet and a settled routine — and several of the oils are applied by methods that do not reproduce well at home.

The shelf is deliberately plain. If you are buying for someone recovering from a serious illness, treat this as the opening of a conversation with a practitioner rather than a purchase that stands alone. Kairali has run Ayurvedic centres for decades and can put you in touch with a physician.

What sits here

1. Medicated oils — Applied externally, generally warmed. Several belong to therapy-room procedures rather than home massage — read the directions closely.
2. Decoctions and tablets — Taken by mouth on a schedule. The rasnadi and dhanwantharam families are the best documented among them.
3. A practitioner first — Genuinely the first step for this group, and not a disclaimer. A physician chooses between these formulations in a way no product page can.

Always read the label and directions on the pack you receive, and speak with your physician before starting anything new — particularly if you are pregnant, nursing, managing a health condition or taking prescription medicine.
