Siras Tailam is a classical Ayurvedic medicated oil formulated specifically for the head (Shiras). Prepared using traditional sneha paka vidhi (herbal oil processing method), it is designed to nourish the scalp, calm the nervous system, and support mental clarity.
Formulation Concept
Typically infused with medhya (brain-supportive) and cooling herbs in a base of sesame oil or cow ghee, Siras Tailam works by penetrating the scalp tissues and balancing aggravated Vata and Pitta dosha in the head region.
