What is the classic text reference for this medicine?
I did not get the reference.
1. It could be their own product. Kottakkal names some of their proprietary medicines in classical style, like Karpooradi thailam.
2. It could be from some remote Kerala text books such as Yoga Grantham.
can this useful for fungal infection for urinary bladder skin ?? due to heat it is burning in tip of the bladder
Is this the best product for treating fungal infection at the loin/groin area which is more common during the hot weather and due to the wearing of underwear?
Alternately, are there still better oils which serve this purpose like Eladi or Nalpamaradi tailam?
Could you also prescribe the course of application? Because, as the loin area of body is always covered with cloth, it is more likely to stain the cloth. In particular, while going outside for work, it may be an embarrassing situation to apply any oil at this part of the body and wear full dress above it.
Kindly guide. Awaiting for your reply.
Thanks
What are the benefits of this product when used for massaging, Awaiting your kind reply, thanks
Improves muscle and nerve strength.
For treating fungal infection at the loin/groin area, is this preferable over other oils like Eladi or nalpamaradi thailam? The fungal infection is common during summer season, particularly at the contact region of underwear.
Could you also tell the course of application at these areas, as applying oils in these regions and wearing clothes would result in oil stain on clothes. Is there a practical method to use these, for a person who goes for work, say, from 9am-6pm?
Awaiting for your reply. Thank you.
Apply Nalpamaradi taila one hour / 30 minutes before taking bath.
It is like gee, can apply without heating or liquifiying
It is like ghee. It can be applied without heating

Is it safe to apply this all over the genitalia, including the glans, for massage?
