Working out and practicing Yoga are the ways to a healthy life. With regular Yoga practice and exercise, one can go healthily through life, with a strong immunity. However, ‌one may have to face extreme post-workout fatigue and muscle pain.

In most cases this happens when we push our limits. While this is normal, the muscle soreness and pain can make it difficult to carry out day-to-day tasks for a few days, or even weeks.

Kerala Ayurveda Mahanarayana Thailam is an Abhyanga oil best known for relaxing muscles after exercise and Yoga sessions. Regular massage with this oil can strengthen the muscles and pace up the recovery, also helping manage joint pain related concerns.

Excess Vata in old age can lead to difficulties in movements. Through regular Abhyanga massages using Mahanarayana Thailam, the vitiated Vata can be pacified, providing lasting relief from joint stiffness and muscular tiredness.

Mahanarayana Thailam is rich with the following ingredients:

• Bilva (Aegle marmelos)- has vatahara and pain-relieving properties
• Ashwagandha (Withania somnifera)- a muscle rejuvenator that relieves fatigue
• Bala (Sida cordifolia)- strengthens muscles and bones
• Shatavari (Asparagus racemosus)- soothes muscles and joints

And other herbs such as:

• Rasna (Alpinia officinarum)
• Brahati (Solanum indicum)
• Gokshura (Tribulus terrestris)
• Syonaka (Oroxylum indicum)
• Paribhadra (Erythrina indica)
• Kantakari (Solanum surattense)
• Rakta Punarnava (Boerhaavia diffusa)
• Atibala (Abutilon indicum)
• Agnimantha (Premna integrifolia)
• Prasarana (Paederia Foetida)
• Patala (Stereospermum suaveolens)

These herbs are cooked in a nourishing base of sesame oil and cow’s milk.

For best results, you can take the prescribed quantity of Mahanarayana Thailam in a bowl, and place the bowl in warm water to make it slightly warm. Once the oil is mildly heated, pick it up and sit in a comfortable position, on a non-slippery surface (preferably on the floor). Apply the oil thoroughly on your whole body for relief.
