Narayana Thailam - Art of Vedas

Warum Narayana Thailam verwenden?

Narayana Thailam stands as one of the foundational therapeutic oils in classical Ayurveda, predating even the more elaborate Mahanarayana formulation. Referenced in the Bhaishajya Ratnavali under Vatavyadhi Chikitsa (treatment of Vata disorders), this oil represents centuries of traditional knowledge for supporting the musculoskeletal and nervous systems.

What sets Narayana Thailam apart is its comprehensive yet balanced approach. With 27 Ayurvedic herbs including the complete Dashamoola, this formulation addresses Vata imbalance at multiple levels, from the surface muscles to the deeper nervous tissue.

The Complete Dashamoola: Ten Roots Working Together

At the heart of Narayana Thailam lies Dashamoola, the famous Ayurvedic combination of ten roots that has been revered for millennia. This formula contains both the Brihat Panchamoola (five larger tree roots) and Laghu Panchamoola (five smaller plant roots), providing comprehensive Vata-pacifying action.

The Brihat Panchamoola includes Bilva (Aegle marmelos), Agnimantha (Premna corymbosa), Shyonaka (Oroxylum indicum), Patala (Stereospermum colais) and Paribhadra (Erythrina variegata). These larger roots are traditionally associated with deeper, more substantial action on the body's framework.

The Laghu Panchamoola comprises Brihati (Solanum indicum), Kantakari (Solanum xanthocarpum), Gokshura (Tribulus terrestris), Shalaparni (Desmodium gangeticum) and Prishnaparni (Pseudarthria viscida). These lighter roots complement the formula with their own unique properties.

Together, the complete Dashamoola is traditionally understood to pacify Vata dosha, support comfortable movement and promote overall structural wellbeing.

Klassische Ayurveda-Referenz

Narayana Thailam is documented in the Bhaishajya Ratnavali, a comprehensive 18th-century Ayurvedic text compiled by Kaviraj Govinda Das Sen. The formulation appears in the Vatavyadhi Chikitsa chapter, which addresses disorders arising from Vata dosha imbalance.

The oil is also referenced in Sahasrayogam, a classical Kerala text containing thousands of Ayurvedic formulations, and is included in the Ayurvedic Formulary of India (AFI), the official government compendium of standardized Ayurvedic preparations.

Notably, Narayana Thailam is considered the parent formulation from which the more elaborate Mahanarayana Thailam later evolved through the addition of more herbs.
