Maha Narayana Tailam is a renowned Ayurvedic medicated oil prepared using a base of sesame oil infused with herbal decoctions such as Dashamoola (group of ten roots), Ashwagandha (Withania somnifera), Shatavari (Asparagus racemosus), and Bala (Sida cordifolia). These ingredients are widely recognized in classical Ayurvedic texts for their Vata-pacifying and tissue-strengthening properties. Scientific reviews suggest that herbs like Ashwagandha and Bala may support neuromuscular health, improve circulation, and aid in reducing stiffness when used as part of external therapies. The oil is commonly used in Abhyanga (therapeutic massage), Kati Basti, and other Panchakarma procedures to promote flexibility, vitality, and comfort in the joints and muscles. It is especially beneficial for the elderly, individuals with sedentary lifestyles, or those recovering from strain.
