Classical Ayurvedic Cooling Oil

€18,00

Pinda Thailam on klassinen ayurvedinen valmiste, joka on dokumentoitu Charaka Samhitassa ja Ashtanga Hridayamissa. Tämä erottuva viilentävä öljy yhdistää neljä keskeistä ainesosaa — Manjishta (Rubia cordifolia), Sariva (Hemidesmus indicus), Sarjarasa (Shorea robusta -hartsi) ja luonnollinen mehiläisvaha, käsitelty puhtaassa seesamiöljyssä.

Ayurvedassa tunnettu Sheeta Virya -ominaisuudestaan (viilentävä teho), Pinda Thailamia arvostetaan perinteisesti Pitta-doshan tasapainottamisessa ja liiallisen lämmön alueiden rauhoittamisessa. Luonnollinen mehiläisvaha antaa tälle öljylle sen ominaisen puolikiinteän koostumuksen viileämmissä lämpötiloissa — lämmitä vain varovasti ennen käyttöä. Erityisesti arvostettu paikalliseen käyttöön, kun halutaan viilentävää tukea.

Pinda Thailam Benefits

Pinda Thailam holds a unique place among classical Ayurvedic oils as the primary formulation for conditions characterized by heat, burning, and Pitta aggravation. Its name, Pinda meaning "bolus" or "mass" and Thailam meaning "oil" refers both to its traditional use in bolus therapies (Pinda Sweda) and its distinctive semi solid consistency.

The formulation is documented in two foundational Ayurvedic texts: Charaka Samhita (Chikitsa Sthana 29/123) and Ashtanga Hridayam (Chikitsa Sthana 22/22). Both texts specifically reference this oil in the context of Vatarakta — a classical Ayurvedic condition characterized by heat accumulation in the blood and joints. Additional references appear in Chakradatta, Sharangadhara Samhita, Yoga Ratnakar, and Bhaishajya Ratnavali.

What distinguishes Pinda Thailam from other Thailams is its cooling nature (Sheeta Virya) combined with the unique presence of natural beeswax (Madhuchhista). While Mahanarayana Thailam is warming and stimulating, Pinda Thailam is calming and cooling making it the preferred choice when excess heat is present. The beeswax creates a protective layer that helps retain the oil's therapeutic properties at the application site.

Traditionally suited for:
- Localized application where cooling is desired
- Areas experiencing warmth or sensitivity
- Support during warm seasons or climates
- Pitta-predominant constitutions
- Evening self-care rituals
- Professional Panchakarma therapies (Pinda Sweda, Dhara, Januvasti)

Kuinka käyttää Pinda Thailam

Due to its natural beeswax content, Pinda Thailam may become semi-solid or solidify at cooler temperatures. This is completely normal and indicates authentic, traditional preparation. Before use:

1. Place the closed bottle in a bowl of warm (not hot) water for 5-10 minutes
2. Gently shake or swirl to ensure even consistency
3. Test temperature on your inner wrist before applying — the oil should feel comfortably warm, not hot
4. Never microwave or place directly on heat source

For Localized Application:

1. Warm the oil as described above
2. Apply a small amount to the desired area
3. Massage gently using circular motions
4. Allow to remain on skin for 20-30 minutes
5. Wash off with warm water or a mild cleanser
6. Pat dry gently

For Foot Care Ritual:

Traditional Ayurvedic texts particularly recommend Pinda Thailam for the feet. This simple ritual can be incorporated into your evening routine:

1. Warm oil and apply to both feet
2. Massage each foot for 5-10 minutes, paying attention to the soles and around the ankles
3. Cover with light cotton socks if desired
4. For deeper absorption, leave overnight

For Professional Abhyanga:

When used by practitioners for full-body massage:
1. Warm sufficient oil for the session
2. Apply with gentle, cooling strokes
3. Focus on areas where cooling support is desired
4. Allow 15-20 minutes for absorption before bathing

Recommended frequency:
For regular self-care, 2-3 times per week. During warm seasons or when additional cooling is desired, daily application may be beneficial. Consult an Ayurvedic practitioner for personalized guidance.

Important notes:
- External use only
- Avoid contact with eyes and mucous membranes
- Take care when walking after foot application as oil may make surfaces slippery
- Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight
- If pregnant or nursing, consult your healthcare provider before use

Sanskrit: पिण्ड तैलम् (Piṇḍa Tailam)

The name derives from Piṇḍa (पिण्ड) meaning "bolus" or "mass," and Tailam (तैलम्) meaning "oil." This refers both to the oil's semi-solid nature and its traditional use in Pinda Sweda (bolus fomentation therapy).

Ayurvedic Pharmacology:

Rasa (Taste): Madhura (sweet), Tikta (bitter), Kashaya (astringent)
Guna (Quality): Snigdha (unctuous), Guru (heavy), Sheeta (cool)
Virya (Potency): Sheeta (cooling)
Vipaka (Post-digestive): Madhura (sweet)
Dosha: Pacifies Pitta primarily; also balances Vata (especially Vatarakta)
Karma (Actions): Pittahara (Pitta-pacifying), Raktashodhaka (blood-purifying), Shothahara (reducing swelling), Dahahara (cooling burning sensations)
Dhatu Affinity: Rakta (blood tissue), Mamsa (muscle tissue), Asthi (bone tissue)

Classical Indications:
In traditional texts, Pinda Thailam is specifically referenced for Vatarakta — a condition where Vata and vitiated Rakta (blood) combine, creating heat accumulation particularly in the extremities. It is also indicated for Dhara therapy, Januvasti (knee oil pooling), and as part of Pinda Sweda protocols.

Preparation Method (Sneha Paka Vidhi):
Classical preparation involves creating a decoction (Kashaya) of Manjishta and Sariva, then cooking this with sesame oil until all water evaporates and the oil reaches Madhyama Paka (medium stage). The filtered oil is then poured over beeswax and Sarjarasa resin while still warm, allowing complete integration.
