Does eladi oil have same effect as eladi churnam? Will it increase skin complexion?
Dr Malini Bhat
Madam, Eladi Choornam is used in the treatment of digestive complaints of Kapha imbalance. Whereas Eladi Thailam is used to improve skin complexion and texture.
For skin detox and to improve skin texture and complexion, it is used as a massage oil over face, and whole body. Apply the oil and wash off with warm water after 30 mins.

On 10 gram package of Eladi Churnam, from AVS it indicates “For External Use Only”. I want to use this internally. Did I receive wrong prepararion?
Dr J V Hebbar MD(Ayu)
If the package mentions only for external use, then do not use it orally.
Going by the ingredients and the traditional reference – Sahasrayoga, it is used orally as well.
