Information on Ayurvedic herbal oils:
Oils play an essential role in many types of Ayurvedic treatments, whether for health care or in therapy. The term Thailam comes from Tilam, sesame. Due to its excellent properties, sesame oil is the most commonly used base in the production of medicated oils.
As a first step, various herbal ingredients are boiled in water, depending on the recipe. The boiling process continues until only a highly concentrated decoction remains. This decoction is then added to a base oil - usually sesame or coconut oil - and further boiled. A paste made from 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 typically takes more than 12 hours for two people for 20 liters of oil.
According to Ayurvedic views and experience, the medicated oil is significantly easier for the human body to absorb and integrate into its own metabolism due to the long heating and stirring. The oil also takes on the properties of its ingredients and also acts in a very subtle way.
