Information on Ayurvedic herbal oils:
For many types of Ayurvedic treatments, whether for health care or therapy, oils play an essential role. The term Thailam comes from Tilam, sesame. The oil from sesame seeds is the most commonly used base in the production of medicated oils due to its excellent properties.
As a first step, depending on the recipe, various plant ingredients are boiled in water. The boiling process continues until only a highly concentrated decoction remains. This decoction is then added to a base oil - mostly sesame or coconut oil - and cooked further. A paste of herbal and mineral components is also added. The addition of ingredients, as well as the stirring of the oil, is accompanied by various mantras. The production of an oil with a moderately complex recipe usually takes more than 12 hours for two people for 20 liters of oil.
From an Ayurvedic perspective and experience, the medicated oil is much easier for the human body to absorb and integrate into its own metabolism due to the long heating and stirring. The oil has also taken on the properties of its ingredients and also works in a very subtle way.
