Kapha Oil is a targeted Ayurvedic therapeutic oil formulated to pacify excess Kapha dosha, which manifests as sluggishness, water retention, mucus congestion, and joint stiffness. Prepared with powerful decongestant and warming herbs like Karpur, Rasna, Shigru, and Daruharidra, it invigorates the system by stimulating circulation, clearing toxins, and promoting digestive and respiratory function.
Ideal for cold climates, sedentary lifestyles, and Kapha-dominant conditions, this oil rejuvenates and re-energizes both the body and mind.

• Decongestant & Expectorant: Karpur and Kapur Kachari open airways, reduce phlegm, and clear nasal and bronchial congestion
• Anti-inflammatory & Joint Support: Rasna and Shigru reduce stiffness, inflammation, and improve joint flexibility
• Lymphatic Stimulation & Detox: Lodhra and Karanj support toxin clearance through lymphatic and circulatory channels
• Warming & Circulatory Enhancer: Daruharidra and Sesame oil stimulate local metabolism, reduce water retention, and warm cold extremities
• Kapha Balancing: The synergistic blend clears Kapha buildup from respiratory, digestive, and circulatory systems
