Description
About
Nalpamaradi Kuzhambu is a classical Ayurvedic medicated oil prepared using the bark of four Ficus species (Nalpamara – Ficus religiosa, Ficus benghalensis, Ficus racemosa, Ficus microcarpa) as its key ingredients, along with turmeric, sandalwood, and other herbs.
It is primarily used for skin nourishment, complexion enhancement, and healing skin disorders caused by Pitta and Kapha imbalance.
The term “Kuzhambu” indicates a thicker and more potent oil preparation compared to regular tailams — ideal for external therapeutic applications.
