The rubefacient property of the taila due to the presence of camphor and Ajamoda gives instant results in painful conditions.
It is also preferentially used as supportive therapy in certain asthmatic conditions. The chest region is anointed with the taila and subjected to sudation, wherein it acts quickly and sustainably on relieving the bronchial spasm and clearing congestion.
Invigorating and warming ? Typical of Kaphahara medicines, the taila unclogs and opens up sweat and sebum pores, stimulates blood circulation, and delivers the medicinal properties of the drugs to deeper tissues.
