Description
About
Prapundareekadi Thailam is a classical Ayurvedic medicated oil primarily used in the treatment of skin diseases, inflammatory conditions, and Pitta-related disorders.
The name “Prapundareeka” refers to the white lotus (Nelumbo nucifera), a key ingredient that provides cooling, soothing, and detoxifying effects. Prepared with a coconut oil base (Kera Thailam), this formulation is known for its skin-purifying, anti-inflammatory, and Pitta-balancing properties.
It is especially beneficial for eczema, rashes, burns, and itching due to its ability to cool and rejuvenate the skin tissues.
