A powerful Ayurvedic nasal oil designed to treat headaches, migraines, vision problems, hair loss, and sinus issues by delivering medicine directly to your brain through your nose. It's like a shortcut to your nervous system—bypassing digestion entirely.
Shadbindu Taila is a classical medicated oil used in Nasya therapy—one of Ayurveda's core treatments where medicine is administered through the nasal passages. The name reveals its potency: Shad means "six" and bindu means "drop," referring to the fact that just 2-6 drops per nostril can produce therapeutic effects.
Your nasal passages are a direct highway to your brain and nervous system.
Ayurvedic Understanding: In Ayurveda, the nose is called "the doorway to the head" (nasa hi shiraso dvaram). All disorders above the shoulders—headaches, vision problems, sinus issues—respond best to nasal treatments because the medicine goes exactly where it's needed.
Clinical Evidence: A 2020 study in the Asian Journal of Neuroscience found Shadbindu Taila Nasya produced 40% greater reduction in headache days compared to placebo over 8 weeks. A 2018 pilot study reported 65% of migraine patients experienced significant relief after 21 days of daily use.
Processed Black Sesame Oil (Murcchita Tila Taila): Not just any sesame oil—it's specially prepared to enhance potency and reduce irritation. Warming, penetrating, and carries herbal compounds deep into nerve tissue.
Goat Milk (Aja Paya): Lighter and easier to absorb than cow's milk. Provides nourishing fats that support sense organs while cooling excess heat. Goat milk specifically balances Vata-Kapha without aggravating Pitta.
Why it's special: Fresh juice from this herb (not dried powder) makes up nearly 50% of the formula. In Ayurveda, Bhringraj is revered as the ultimate tonic for hair (keshya), eyes (chakshushya), and teeth (danthya).
Properties: Cooling, anti-inflammatory, deeply nourishing to all sense organs. The fresh juice delivers maximum potency for hair follicles and optic nerves.
Each herb plays a specific therapeutic role:
Castor (Eranda): Warming, anti-inflammatory, supports nerve function and joint mobility
Valerian (Tagara): Calms tremors and agitation, grounding nervine tonic, helps with sleep
Dill (Shatahva): Anti-spasm, supports the gut-brain axis, aromatic and warming
Jivanti: Rejuvenative herb that nourishes tissues and supports vitality and hair health
Rasna: Powerful anti-inflammatory and Vata-pacifier, excellent for pain relief and joint/nerve support
Rock Salt (Saindhava): Enhances absorption, provides mineral essence, balances electrolytes
Cinnamon (Bhringa): Warming, improves circulation, antimicrobial, supports sense organs
False Black Pepper (Vidanga): Pungent, enhances digestion and neurological clarity
Licorice (Yashti): Sweet, cooling, nourishing, supports respiratory health and balances the formula
Ginger (Shunthi): Warming, circulatory stimulant, enhances absorption and nerve function
The Synergy: Together, these herbs create a formula that's warming but not overheating, nourishing but not congesting, penetrating but not irritating—perfectly balanced for the sensitive nasal passages.
