While casual numbness of arms and legs while kept idle for a long time is normal, prolonged numbness can be difficult to deal with. If you have been experiencing persistent numbness in one body part or another for a long time, it may be because of an underlying health concern. And if unattended for long, the symptoms may aggravate, hindering your day-to-day life activities.

Kerala Ayurveda’s Mahamasha Thailam is a rejuvenating Ayurvedic oil for numbness, rich in black gram or Masha, Dashamoola (the root of ten herbs), Atmagupta (Cowhage), Eranda (Castor), along with other useful herbs that can help keep the nerves healthy, by improving blood circulation, relieving numbness, strengthening nerves, and tackling muscle weakness.
