Reference for Anu tailam is widespread all over the classical and ancient texts of Ayurveda, and why should it not be? It is one of the most beneficial oils one can use to strengthen the organs in our head, goes straight through our shrigantaka marma and then ends up entering all the indriyas (or sense organs) at once giving them strength, this is one of the only few medicines still left in the modern times that has carried a significantly good effect on our health from the vedic kaal to the current times.

According to Ayurveda one should incorporate daily face massage, a little fomentation, and then nasya into their daily routine for the maintenance of optimal health, and this nasya in health people should be done by Anu tailam only. Even in modern studies, it is seen that nasal administration of medicine has a significant impact on the eyes, ears, oral cavity, facial skin, and the nose itself.

It is made of goat milk over cow’s milk first of all which means that it is lighter than cow milk and hence is easier to be absorbed by the nasal mucosa, then again it is made by heavily processing every single drug in the content box so that the drug ends up coming to it smallest form in order to be able to cross all the mucosal barriers easily. This is the concept of Anu tailam, Anu literally means small.

Kerala Ayurveda Anu Thailam Benefits

Controls Headache
Balancing tridoshas means it will balance headaches too by reducing vaata, if you have a particular history of headaches then make the face massage out of mahanarayana thailam and then use Anu tailam as a nasya.

Controls Sinusitis and Allergic Rhinitis
By strengthening the nasal mucosa and providing an extra layer of protection to the mucosa.

Will Improve Facial Complexion
When used with a combination of kumkumadi tailam as the face massage that is done before the administration of oil, the Anu tailam will end up benefitting the complexion of the facial skin immensely.

Strengthening All the Sense Organs
All sense organs in our body are connected to the shringatak marma connected to marma present in the middle of our eyebrows which is what Anu tailam goes into and then transfers eventually into all the sense organs. This results in the oiling of all the organs and just like a wheel under the constant force of friction gets torn off and needs constant oiling to keep that very friction at bay, our organs need constant oiling to keep diseases at bay.

Has a Tridosha Balancing Effect
This means that it helps in maintaining the health we already have and continuing it further ahead.

Controlling Hair Fall
Anu tailam has been said to reduce hair fall and graying of hair in the classical texts of Ayurveda, and why should it not? If it is balancing the tridoshas then it means it will reduce the pitta and vaata causing direct hair fall.
