Description
About
Gulgulumarichadi Thailam is a classical Ayurvedic medicated oil widely used in the management of musculoskeletal disorders, particularly joint pain, arthritis, and Vata imbalance.
The name comes from its key ingredients: Guggulu (Commiphora mukul), known for its anti-inflammatory and Vata-pacifying properties, and Maricha (Black Pepper – Piper nigrum), which enhances circulation and acts as a warming agent.
This oil is typically used in external therapies (Abhyanga, Kizhi, and Dhara) to relieve joint stiffness, pain, and inflammation, and to improve mobility and muscle strength.
