  1. i have been given Karpoora and Sahacharadi Thailam but still am unsure of how to use it. I have a broken tailbone and have pain in middle of back due to injury 20 years ago. I find I have leg pains and hip pain as well. I have been told to heat both mixed together and leave on for 30 minutes before I shower. But I have not been told how much of each. I leave India in a few days.
