  1. Sir,

    I am not above to find the reference in sahasrayogam. What is yogagrantham, please give me exact reference of karpooradi taiam

    Reply
      • Dear Dr Saranya, Thanks for the help. The AVP product mentions its reference as Sahasrayoga. The problem with Sahasrayoga is – there are many Malayalam version. Once such version might have this reference.
        AVN Mentions a text book called Yogagrantham as reference.
        Chakradatta Yonivyapat contains Karpooradi tailam with Karpoora, Bhallataka, Shankha Churna, Yavakshara, Yavani, Manashila, and after taila is prepared, Manashila is added to it, used for roma shatana purpose. So, definitely, not for the purpose mentioned above. Hence, it is different from the above, and not in manufacturing.

  6. Doctor, I had a hairline fracture on my big toe, for which the toe was tied to the neighboring toe, for 5 days. But because it was tied tightly, it feels like there has been some issue with the nerves after removing the bandage – an electric shock like sharp pain occurs when one point on the bottom of the toe is pressed. Will this oil plus murivenna help heal the nerves along with the fracture? How often should I apply it? How long will it take before this terrible electrical sensation clears doctor?
    Thank you.
