Karpuradi Oil is a classical Ayurvedic medicated oil renowned for its analgesic, anti-inflammatory, antimicrobial, and cooling properties.
It is formulated using Karpura (Camphor) and Neem (Azadirachta indica) in a soothing base, making it a multipurpose oil effective for pain relief, muscle stiffness, skin infections, and respiratory congestion.
The oil works by enhancing circulation, cooling inflammation, and clearing toxins, especially in Vata-Kapha aggravated conditions.
PHARMACOLOGICAL ACTIONS & MECHANISMS
• Analgesic & Anti-Inflammatory: Karpura acts as a counter-irritant, improving blood flow and reducing pain perception and swelling
• Antimicrobial & Detoxifying: Neem fights against bacterial, fungal, and inflammatory skin conditions
• Respiratory Decongestant: The penetrating aroma of Karpura opens up nasal passages and alleviates cough and cold symptoms
• Circulatory Enhancer: Enhances local circulation, speeds up healing, and reduces stagnation of fluids
• Cooling & Soothing: Reduces burning, irritation, and redness, offering relief in heat-based skin disorders
RELEVANT RESEARCH INSIGHTS
