About

Hinguthrigunam Thailam is a traditional Ayurvedic medicated oil, mainly used for abdominal disorders, pain relief, and digestive ailments. The name suggests the presence of Hingu (Asafoetida) along with other herbs, processed in a base oil.

The suffix Chikkanapakam indicates a special preparation method where the oil is thickened and cooked to enhance potency. It is commonly used for external application over the abdomen and sometimes administered in Pichu or Abhyanga therapies.
