Eladi Thailam is a classical Ayurvedic skin oil documented in Sahasrayogam, prepared with the Eladi Gana, a traditional group of 18 aromatic herbs led by Cardamom (Ela). This ayurvedic formulation combines skin-nurturing botanicals including Saffron, Nutmeg, Myrrh, Palmarosa and Himalayan Cedar in a pure sesame oil base according to traditional Sneha Paka Vidhi.

The name derives from its signature herb Ela (Elettaria cardamomum) the aromatic "Queen of Spices", combined with herbs traditionally valued in Ayurveda for their ability to support skin radiance, hydration and a clear, even-toned complexion. This makes Eladi the specialist oil for Varnya (complexion enhancement) in the classical Ayurvedic tradition.

Prepared in the Kerala tradition, this warming yet balanced oil is used for facial Abhyanga, full-body massage, and is gentle enough for baby massage, one of the safest oils recommended for infants in Ayurvedic pediatric care. Ideal for those seeking natural support for skin hydration, radiant complexion and traditional skincare rituals.

Erandamoola Kwath Choornam is a classical decoction powder prepared from the root of the castor plant (Ricinus communis). Described in the Charaka Samhita and Ashtanga Hridayam, Eranda Moola is classified as one of the most important Vata-balancing herbs. The "Kwath Choornam" format means it is a coarse powder intended to be boiled in water to prepare a fresh decoction.

Eranda Moola's warming Virya and sweet Vipaka give it a distinctly nourishing yet mobilising quality. Classical texts describe it as Vatahara (Vata-pacifying), Shoolahara (comfort-supporting) and Basti Shodhana (purifying to the lower abdomen). Frequently used alongside other Vata-balancing therapies in Panchakarma protocols.

To prepare: boil 1 tablespoon of powder in 200ml water, reduce to 50ml, strain and drink warm. Once or twice daily as directed by your practitioner. Best taken on an empty stomach.

Traditional Ayurvedic dry-massage glove used in Garshana. Applied on dry skin (no oil), it gently exfoliates, stimulates micro-circulation and lymphatic flow, and is often used before Abhyanga to awaken and lighten Kapha while grounding Vata with rhythmic strokes.

How to use

• On completely dry skin, start at the feet and work upward toward the heart.
• Use long strokes on limbs; small circles over joints; clockwise circles on the abdomen.
• 3-7 minutes, then shower or follow with warm oil Abhyanga.

Care
Keep dry after use. Hand-wash occasionally with mild soap; air-dry fully. Do not use with oils.

Notes
External use only. Avoid face, broken or irritated skin, active skin sensitivities, varicose veins, or acute irritation. Use light pressure if skin is thin or very Vata. Avoid abdominal work during pregnancy.

The large Gokarna is the same classical brass vessel, built for higher-volume Nasya Karma. Same traditional design — wide mouth, tapered spout, pedestal base cast in solid brass with the capacity to warm a larger quantity of oil in a single session.

Where the small Gokarna is sized for daily personal Nasya two to three drops per nostril, one session at a time the large vessel accommodates Marsha Nasya and extended Snehana protocols where more oil is required. It is also the practical choice for practitioners administering Nasya to multiple clients in sequence, where warming a larger reserve of oil saves preparation time between sessions.

The brass holds warmth evenly and for longer. The additional weight keeps the vessel stable on a Dhara table or treatment surface. The spout pours with the same control as the small precise enough for a dropper, steady enough for a direct pour.

The Gokarna is the classical brass vessel used in Ayurveda for Nasya Karma, warming and administering medicated oil through the nasal passages. Hand-cast in solid brass, shaped to the traditional design: a wide mouth for gentle warming in a water bath, a tapered spout for controlled pouring into a dropper or to the fingertip, and a pedestal base that holds the vessel stable and upright.

Brass holds warmth evenly, and the size is proportioned for a single Nasya session. Place the Gokarna in hot water, allow the oil to reach body temperature, and apply. Whether you use Anu Thailam daily as part of your Dinacharya or Shadbindu Thailam for more focused care, this is how the practice is traditionally performed not improvised, not approximated.

For Ayurveda practitioners and Panchakarma centres, this is a clinical-grade Nasya vessel suited to Pratimarsha and Snehana Nasya protocols. Stable on a Dhara table, easy to sanitise between clients, built for daily professional use.

Gokshura (Tribulus terrestris) is a highly regarded classical herb mentioned in the Charaka Samhita and Ashtanga Hridayam as a Rasayana of particular standing. With a sweet taste and cooling Virya, it is one of the few herbs in the classical tradition that pacifies both Vata and Pitta. It is also a key ingredient in the classical compound Gokshuradi Guggulu.

Classical texts describe Gokshura as Balya (associated with vitality in Ayurvedic tradition), Vrishya (a classical Ayurvedic property) and Rasayana (rejuvenative in the classical Ayurvedic sense). Suitable for daily use as part of a wellness-focused routine. Take 2 capsules daily with warm water, or as advised by your healthcare professional.

Guduchi (Tinospora cordifolia), known in Ayurveda by the revered name Amrita ("divine nectar"), is one of the most important Rasayana herbs in the classical pharmacopoeia. The Charaka Samhita and Ashtanga Hridayam describe it as Tridoshic, with a particular capacity to balance Pitta without aggravating Vata or Kapha.

Its unique combination of bitter taste with a sweet Vipaka gives it a rare capacity to be both cleansing and nourishing simultaneously. Classical texts classify it as Rasayana (rejuvenative) and Deepana (Agni-kindling). Take 2 capsules daily with warm water, or as advised by your Ayurvedic practitioner.

This product is a food supplement. Do not exceed the recommended daily dose. If you are pregnant, breastfeeding or under medical supervision, consult a qualified practitioner before use.

Guggulu (Commiphora mukul) is one of the most significant substances in the classical Ayurvedic pharmacopoeia, referenced extensively in the Sushruta Samhita and Charaka Samhita. It is a natural tree resin with a unique Yogavahi property: the ability to carry and enhance the action of other herbs to deeper tissue levels. It has a particular affinity for Vata and Kapha Doshas.

Classical texts describe Guggulu as Rasayana (rejuvenative), Deepana (Agni-kindling) and Shodhana (cleansing). Warming, penetrating and traditionally valued for its purifying qualities. Take 1-2 capsules daily with water, or as advised by your Ayurvedic practitioner.

Haritaki Churnam (Terminalia chebula) is revered in Ayurveda as Abhaya, "the fearless one," and is considered the most versatile single herb in the classical pharmacopoeia. The Charaka Samhita places it at the very top of Rasayana herbs. It is the first of the three fruits in Triphala.

Haritaki possesses five of the six tastes (all except salty) and balances all three Doshas with a particular affinity for Vata. Its warming Virya combined with a sweet Vipaka gives it the rare quality of being warming yet not aggravating to Pitta. Classical texts describe it as Anulomana (downward-moving), the primary herb for healthy elimination.

Take 1/2 to 1 teaspoon (2-3g) with warm water, preferably before bed. Traditionally taken with different carriers in different seasons: rock salt in the rains, sugar in autumn, ginger in early winter, Pippali in late winter, honey in spring and jaggery in summer.

The Hrid Basti Yantra is a professional-grade instrument designed for Hrid Basti (also known as Uro Basti or Hridaya Basti), a localised oil-retention practice applied over the sternum and heart region. Rooted in the classical Bahya Snehana (external oleation) principles described in the Charaka Samhita, Sushruta Samhita, and Ashtanga Hridayam, Hrid Basti is one of the most valued localised practices in Panchakarma, addressing the Hridaya, which Ayurveda regards as one of the three Trimarma (vital points of the body).

In this traditional Ayurvedic procedure, the practitioner positions the Yantra over the sternum of the supine-lying client, seals the perimeter with a ring of Masha (urad dal) flour paste, and retains warm medicated oil or ghee within the reservoir. The sustained warmth and herbal properties of the medium nourish the Hridaya Marma region, offering a deeply calming and restorative experience traditionally associated with the care of Prana Vayu, Sadhaka Pitta, and Avalambaka Kapha.

This set includes one Hrid Basti Yantra with an oval profile, ergonomically shaped to conform to the sternal and upper thoracic contour.

Care and Cleaning

After each session, remove all flour paste residue and rinse the Yantra with warm water and a mild, fragrance-free detergent. Sanitise with isopropyl alcohol or a clinical-grade surface disinfectant. Allow to air dry completely before storing. Inspect regularly for any damage or rough edges that could cause discomfort during the session.

What is in the Set

• 1 x Hrid Basti Yantra
• Oval profile designed for the sternal and upper thoracic region
• Material: Durable, reusable clinical-grade construction
• Oil capacity: Approximately 200-300 ml

Classical Reference

Hridaya Marma, Sushruta Samhita (Sharira Sthana Ch. 6, Marma classification). Bahya Snehana principles, Charaka Samhita (Sutrasthana Ch. 13, Snehadhyaya), Sushruta Samhita (Chikitsasthana Ch. 24, Snehopayogika), Ashtanga Hridayam (Sutrasthana Ch. 16, Snehavidhi). Localised Basti practice refined within the Kerala Ashtavaidya Panchakarma tradition.

How it Works

The Hrid Basti Yantra acts as a structural frame for the dough-dam reservoir. The practitioner places the Yantra over the client's sternum, centred on the mid-chest, slightly to the left to align with the Hridaya Marma point, while the client lies in a supine (face-up) position. A ring of Masha (urad dal) flour paste is applied around the outer perimeter to create a watertight seal against the skin. Warm medicated oil or ghee is then poured through the open top until it fills the reservoir and covers the area.

The medium is maintained at a consistent warm temperature throughout the session by periodically removing cooled oil with a cotton swab or syringe and replacing it with freshly warmed oil or ghee. Sessions typically last 30 to 45 minutes, depending on the protocol and the practitioner's clinical assessment.

Why a Professional Basti Yantra?

Traditionally, the reservoir for localised Basti procedures is constructed entirely from Masha flour dough, shaped and moulded around the area by the practitioner. While effective, this method requires skill to maintain structural integrity over the full duration of a session, particularly on the relatively flat but subtly curved surface of the chest.

The Hrid Basti Yantra offers a practical, professional alternative. Its oval profile is ergonomically shaped to conform to the sternal contour, providing consistent structure throughout the session. The practitioner still uses flour paste to seal the instrument to the client's skin, combining the reliability of a reusable clinical tool with the traditional sealing method that ensures a proper fit for every body type.

Advantages for practitioners:

• Structural consistency, no risk of the reservoir collapsing or deforming during longer sessions
• Standardised volume, ensures even coverage of the Hridaya region
• Significantly reduced preparation time compared to full dough-dam construction
• Easy to clean and reuse between clients
• Oval profile designed specifically for the sternal and upper thoracic area

The Classical Medium: Medicated Oils and Ghee

Hrid Basti can use both medicated Thailams (oils) and medicated Ghritham (ghee) as the medium, selected by the practitioner based on the client's presentation, Dosha involvement, and session goals.

Commonly used medicated oils:

• Dhanwantharam Thailam, the primary classical choice for Vata-dominant presentations; deeply nourishing and warming
• Ksheerabala Thailam, traditionally valued for its Brimhana (nourishing) and nervine properties; balances both Vata and Pitta
• Balaswagandhadhi Thailam, traditionally valued for its Balya (strengthening) and Brimhana properties; supports tissue nourishment
• Chandanadi Thailam, a cooling Thailam, classically indicated where Pitta involvement predominates

Commonly used medicated ghee:

• Brahmi Ghritham, traditionally associated with calming the mind and supporting Sadhaka Pitta
• Dhanwantharam Ghritham, the ghee-based counterpart of Dhanwantharam Thailam; deeply nourishing

Plain cow's ghee (Goghrita) may be used for general nourishment and preventive care. The practitioner selects the medium based on the classical principles of Snehana and the client's individual constitution.

Suggested Procedure Overview

Preparation (Purva Karma):

Ensure a calm, warm, draft-free space with subdued lighting. Apply a brief local Abhyanga (oil massage) to the chest and upper thoracic region to prepare the tissue. Warm the selected medicated oil or ghee to a comfortable temperature (approximately 38-42 C) using a double-boiler or oil warmer, never heat directly over flame. Prepare a sufficient quantity of Masha (urad dal) flour paste for sealing. Position the client in a comfortable supine position.

During the session (Pradhana Karma):

Place the Hrid Basti Yantra over the sternum, centred on the Hridaya Marma region. Seal the outer perimeter with flour paste, ensuring a watertight boundary. Pour warm medicated oil or ghee through the open top until it covers the area. Maintain the temperature throughout the session by periodically exchanging cooled medium for freshly warmed oil or ghee. Typical session duration is 30 to 45 minutes. A standard course consists of 7 to 14 consecutive daily sessions, as determined by the practitioner.

After the session (Paschat Karma):

Drain the oil or ghee carefully. Remove the Yantra and flour paste. Gently wipe any excess and perform a light local massage. A mild Swedana (warm fomentation) may be applied to the area. Advise the client to rest in a calm environment and avoid cold drafts, physical exertion, and emotional exertion for several hours following the session. Classical texts recommend post-care precautions for twice the duration of the session itself (Dwiguna Parihara Kala).

This is a professional Ayurvedic practice instrument intended for use by trained practitioners. Hrid Basti should be performed by or under the supervision of a qualified Ayurvedic practitioner.

Jathyadi Thailam is a classical Ayurvedic formulation documented in the Sushruta Samhita, one of the foundational texts of Ayurveda. This traditional oil combines 9 medicinal plants led by Jati (Jasmine), an important herb in Ayurvedic skin care traditions in a pure sesame oil base. The formulation is traditionally valued in Ayurveda for its Vrana Shodhana (skin cleansing) and Vrana Ropana (skin recovery support) properties. It is used as an external application in classical Ayurvedic practice and continues to be one of the most widely referenced formulations for supporting the skin's natural renewal process.

Kaisora Guggulu Gulika is the 1000mg Kerala Gulika form of the classical Kaisora Guggulu compound, prepared according to the Sahasrayogam and traditional Kerala pharmaceutical methods. While sharing the same classical formulation as the 250mg Vati, this Gulika version undergoes the distinct Kerala Bhavana (trituration) process that concentrates the active principles for enhanced potency.

The formulation combines purified Guggulu with Triphala, Guduchi (Tinospora cordifolia) and supporting herbs. Classical texts describe it as Raktashodhaka (a traditional Ayurvedic property associated with Rakta Dhatu), Rasayana (rejuvenative in the classical Ayurvedic sense) and Amapachana (supporting the digestion of Ama). The higher 1000mg dose per tablet makes this Gulika form particularly suited for practitioner-directed protocols.

Take 1 tablet, 2 times daily with water. Daily intake (2 tablets) provides: herbal blend 1,436 mg, ghee 188 mg. Store in a cool, dry place.

Kaisora Guggulu (also written Kaishore Guggulu) is a classical compound tablet described in the Bhaishajya Ratnavali and Sharangadhara Samhita. It combines purified Guggulu resin with Triphala, Guduchi (Tinospora cordifolia) and a balanced group of supporting herbs. The name "Kaisora" refers to the youthful vitality this formulation traditionally aims to support.

Guggulu's Yogavahi property carries and enhances the action of other herbs to deeper tissue levels. Classical texts associate Kaisora Guggulu with Rakta Dhatu (blood tissue) and Mamsa Dhatu (muscle tissue). It is described in classical literature as Raktashodhaka (a traditional Ayurvedic property), Rasayana (rejuvenative in the classical Ayurvedic sense) and Amapachana (supporting the digestion of Ama), traditionally valued as part of a Vata-Pitta balancing routine.

Take 1-2 tablets twice daily with warm water, after meals, or as directed by your Ayurvedic practitioner. Classical texts recommend combining with Triphala Kashayam or warm milk.

The Kansa Abhyanga Wand is a body massage tool hand-cast from Kansa bronze with a large, smooth dome and an ergonomic hardwood handle. The dome is sized and shaped for broad, sweeping strokes along the limbs, back and shoulders during Abhyanga (traditional Ayurvedic oil massage). Kansa has a naturally cooling quality, valued in Ayurvedic bodywork for its smooth glide on oiled skin.

Apply a generous amount of massage oil before use. Work in long strokes along the limbs (from extremities toward the centre) and circular motions on the joints. Spend extra time on areas of tension such as the shoulders, lower back and calves. Clean and dry thoroughly after each use. Store away from moisture.

For external use only. Not a substitute for professional medical advice.

The Kansa Comb is a scalp tool cast from Kansa metal, the copper-tin bronze used in Ayurvedic ritual practice for centuries. The teeth of the comb are pointed and designed to reach the scalp through the hair, making contact with the marma points of the head as the comb moves slowly across the scalp. This is not a massage tool used with pressure. The correct technique is slow, deliberate, and gentle, the pointed teeth do the work; you simply guide the comb.

Kansa has a naturally cooling quality. In Ayurveda, this is associated with calming Pitta in the head, the accumulated heat that shows as scalp sensitivity, irritation, and a restless, overheated mind. The comb draws that heat gently outward as it moves across the scalp.

This is a tool for daily use. Two to three minutes in the evening, used dry or with a light hair oil, is sufficient. Used consistently, it becomes one of the quieter and more grounding habits in a daily Dinacharya practice of Śīrṣa Abhyanga.

A facial massage tool hand-cast in Kansa, the traditional copper-tin bronze used in Ayurvedic practice for centuries. The Gua Sha's curved, flat form is designed for broad, deliberate strokes across the jaw, cheeks, neck and forehead, covering the full face surface in a single fluid practice.

What sets it apart from stone tools is the material. Kansa has a naturally cooling quality, traditionally associated in Ayurveda with calming Pitta, the heat and reactivity in the skin. As the tool moves across the face with a face oil, it draws warmth gently from the surface, leaving the skin looking calm, even and settled.

The grey-green tint that sometimes appears during use is a natural reaction between the Kansa bronze, the oil and the skin's pH. It is not harmful. It is the mark of real, uncoated bronze.

The Kansa Marma Wand is a pointed-tip massage tool hand-cast from Kansa bronze with an ergonomic hardwood handle. The tapered tip is designed for precise, sustained contact on individual marma points, the vital energy junctions described in the Sushruta Samhita. Where broader Kansa tools cover wide areas of the face or body, the Marma Wand focuses on one point at a time.

Apply a small amount of oil to the area first. Place the tip on the marma point and hold with gentle, steady pressure for 10 to 30 seconds before moving to the next point. Commonly used on the face (Sthapani, Shankha, Apanga), the hands (Talahridaya) and the feet (Kshipra, Gulpha). Clean and dry thoroughly after each use. Store away from moisture.

For external use only. Not a substitute for professional medical advice.
