The base oils
The herbs above are carried in a blend of oils rather than a single carrier. Sesame, or til taila, is the classical base used in Ayurvedic massage preparations. Mustard and yellow mustard bring the warming character that Indian households have relied on for generations, and the remaining oils are active in their own right rather than simply carriers.

- Mustard oil
- Yellow mustard oil
- Black seed oil

There is no coconut oil, no mineral oil and no liquid paraffin in this formula.
Why Classical Herbal Taila Outperforms Petrochemical Sprays & Oral Pills
Standard pharmaceutical pain sprays use volatile aerosol propellants (LPG/isobutane) and synthetic menthol to produce a brief surface freeze. Oral painkiller tablets (NSAIDs like Combiflam or Zerodol) circulate systemically, carrying well-documented risks of gastric mucosal erosion and kidney stress when taken regularly for chronic joint ache.
By contrast, our formula relies on Taila Paka Vidhi — slow decoction cooking over multiple days where lipid-soluble phytochemicals from Shallaki (Boswellia), Gandhapuri (Wintergreen), Nirgundi, and Dashamula are fused into warm sesame and mustard lipids. This creates an unctuous carrier that naturally permeates skin bilayers to soothe joint inflammation directly at the pain site.
