How to Use

Warm the bottle slightly in a bowl of hot water before use to enhance absorption. 


Pour a generous amount into your palms and massage it thoroughly over your entire body, using long strokes on your limbs and circular motions over your joints and abdomen. 


Allow the medicated oil to penetrate your tissues for 15 to 30 minutes (if possible) to soothe structural stiffness, calm Vata, and support tissue resilience. 


Wash clean in a warm bath or shower.

Frequently Asked Questions

What makes Dhanwantharam Oil different from standard massage oils?

This traditional formulation is deeply regularizing and processing, cooked with a robust blend of over 30 Ayurvedic herbs. It is specifically celebrated for supporting structural stiffness, soothing body fatigue, and providing deep comfort to the lower back and joints.

Can I leave Dhanwantharam Oil on my skin all day, or should I wash it off?

Both options can work depending on your skin type. But the Ayurvedic text recommend letting it rest on your skin for 15 to 30 minutes before a warm shower allows the deep tissue to drink it in and the hot water helps it to absorb into the skin.
