Dhanwantharam Thailam

Thailam (Thaila) is Ayurvedic massage oil. There are hundreds of different types of thailam used for different purposes. Application of thaila by means of massage is equivalent to injecting medicines to the body. The massage helps the blood to absorb most of the content of the thaila directly to the blood and cure the areas of injury.
