Balaguluchyadi Thailam from Arya Vaidya Pharmacy (AVP), Kottakkal is a well-known Ayurvedic medicated oil, primarily used for external application. It’s formulated based on traditional Kerala Ayurveda principles.

Key Benefits of Balaguluchyadi Thailam:

This oil is particularly renowned for its efficacy in managing conditions related to gout and various forms of arthritis. Its benefits include:

• Gout Arthritis: It is traditionally used in Ayurveda to control and alleviate symptoms of gouty arthritis, which is characterized by sudden, severe attacks of pain, swelling, redness, and tenderness in the joints.
• Rheumatoid Arthritis: Beneficial in managing symptoms of rheumatoid arthritis, an autoimmune inflammatory disorder affecting joints.
• Inflammatory Conditions: Helps in reducing inflammation, swelling, and burning sensation associated with various joint and musculoskeletal inflammatory conditions.
• Pain Relief: Provides relief from different types of pain, including joint pain, muscle pain, and associated discomforts.
• Frozen Shoulder: Can be helpful in improving symptoms of frozen shoulder by reducing pain and stiffness.
• Balances Vata and Pitta Doshas: The ingredients are chosen to pacify aggravated Vata (responsible for pain and movement) and Pitta (responsible for inflammation and burning sensation) doshas, which are often implicated in arthritic conditions.
• Good for Head and Body: While primarily for gout, it’s also considered generally good for the body and can help relieve catarrh and allied complaints (though its main indication remains joint pain).
