Mahanarayana Thailam Benefits

Mahanarayana Thailam is one of the most respected formulations in Ayurvedic practice. Referenced in Sahasrayogam and Bhaishajya Ratnavali, it has been used for centuries in both clinical settings and daily self-care rituals across India.

The formulation combines over 50 herbs, including Ashwagandha, Bala, Devadaru, and the ten roots of Dashamoola slow cooked into sesame oil using the classical Sneha Paka Vidhi process. This traditional preparation method, which takes several days, allows the oil to absorb the full properties of the herbs.

Classified as Ushna Virya (warming potency) in Ayurvedic pharmacology, Mahanarayana Thailam is particularly indicated for Vata pacification. It is used in Abhyanga (therapeutic massage), Basti (as part of Panchakarma), and Karna Purana (ear oleation).

Traditionally suited for:

  • Daily Abhyanga practice
  • Vata-predominant constitution
  • Cold seasons (autumn and winter)
  • Post-exercise body care
  • Professional Panchakarma treatments

Kuinka käyttää Mahanarayana Thailam

For Abhyanga (full-body massage):

  1. Warm the oil by placing the bottle in warm water for a few minutes
  2. Apply generously to the entire body
  3. Use long strokes on the limbs, circular motions around joints
  4. Massage the abdomen in a clockwise direction
  5. Include scalp, ears, and soles of feet
  6. Allow 15–20 minutes for absorption
  7. Follow with a warm shower

For targeted application:

Apply a small amount to specific areas. Massage gently until absorbed.

Recommended frequency:

Daily application is traditional practice. For maintenance, use 2–3 times per week.

Important:

  • External use only
  • Warm gently — do not microwave
  • Take care in shower as oil may make surfaces slippery

Klassinen ayurvedinen viite

Mahanarayana Thailam is documented in two primary classical texts: Sahasrayogam, the comprehensive Kerala formulary, and Bhaishajya Ratnavali, the widely referenced Ayurvedic pharmacopoeia.

Sanskrit: महानारायण तैलम् (Mahānārāyaṇa Tailam)

This formulation is classified in Ayurvedic pharmacology as follows:

Rasa (Taste): Tikta (bitter) and Kashaya (astringent)
Guna (Quality): Snigdha (unctuous) and Guru (heavy)
Virya (Potency): Ushna (warming)
Vipaka (Post-digestive effect): Madhura (sweet)
Dosha: Pacifies Vata and Kapha

Classical texts indicate Mahanarayana Thailam for Vatavyadhi (Vata-related conditions) and as a primary oil in Panchakarma protocols, particularly Abhyanga (therapeutic massage) and Basti (medicated enema therapy).

Usein kysytyt kysymykset tuotteesta Mahanarayana Thailam

Mahanarayana Thailam is traditionally used for Abhyanga — the Ayurvedic practice of warm oil massage. It is one of the primary oils in classical Ayurveda for full-body application, referenced in texts such as Sahasrayogam for its warming and Vata-pacifying properties. In professional settings, it is also used in Panchakarma therapies including Basti and therapeutic massage protocols. For home use, it is applied as part of a daily or weekly self-massage routine.

In Ayurvedic tradition, Mahanarayana Thailam is valued for its warming quality (Ushna Virya) and its ability to pacify Vata dosha. The formulation contains over 50 herbs including Ashwagandha, Bala, and the Dashamoola group, each selected according to classical texts for their traditional properties. Regular Abhyanga with this oil is considered part of Dinacharya (ideal daily routine) in Ayurveda, supporting overall body nourishment and Vata balance. The sesame oil base is traditionally regarded as deeply penetrating and grounding.

Yes. Daily oil application (Abhyanga) is described in classical Ayurvedic texts as an essential component of Dinacharya — the recommended daily routine. Charaka Samhita specifically advocates daily Abhyanga for its nourishing and balancing effects. Mahanarayana Thailam is suitable for daily use, particularly for those with Vata constitution or during Vata season (autumn and early winter). Apply in the morning before bathing, allowing sufficient time for absorption.

Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight. The oil has a shelf life of approximately 3 years from manufacture when stored correctly. In cold temperatures, the oil may thicken slightly — this is normal and does not affect quality. Warm gently before use by placing the bottle in warm water.


Mahanarayana Thailam is primarily indicated for Vata pacification. Its warming quality, heavy (Guru) nature, and unctuous (Snigdha) properties directly counter the cold, dry, light qualities of Vata dosha. It also has a secondary balancing effect on Kapha. Those with predominantly Pitta constitution should use it moderately, particularly in warm weather, and may prefer to alternate with cooling oils.

We recommend consulting a qualified Ayurvedic practitioner or healthcare provider before using any Thailam during pregnancy. In traditional practice, different oils are typically recommended for different stages of pregnancy, with Dhanwantharam Thailam being more commonly indicated for prenatal and postpartum care.
