SKM Kottamchukkadi Thailam is a classical Ayurvedic herb-infused oil based on Sahasrayogam and prepared using sesame oil and herbal decoctions, including Kottam (Saussurea lappa), Chukku (Zingiber officinale), Vacha (Acorus calamus), Shigru (Moringa oleifera), Garlic, Mustard, Rasna, Devadaru, tamarind juice, and curd. These ingredients are traditionally known for their warming and Vata‑pacifying effects, nourishing muscles, joints, and nerve tissues. Kottam is valued for its anti‑inflammatory and analgesic activity; Chukku and Vacha support circulation and ease stiffness; Devadaru and Rasna are noted for pain‑relieving action. The oil is commonly employed in Abhyanga massage, Kati Vasti, Dhara, and other Ayurvedic therapies to support flexibility and reduce deep tissue swelling or numbness associated with conditions like arthritis, spondylosis, sciatica, and sports injuries. Its regular use is believed to improve circulation, ease stiffness, and support musculoskeletal comfort.
