Frequently asked questions
Q: A ring has got stuck in my ring finger. The lower phalange is thicker than other fingers. Can Kola Kulathadi choorna be used to make it slim, sothat the ring can be taken off.
A: While Kolakulathadi Churna burns fat by rubbing on skin surface, it might not help to such an extent to burn fat to make the finger thin, very quickly.
I suggest you to follow this method –
OR get the ring cut.
Does it help in getting rid of belly and thigh fat?
Yes. Fine powder of this is rubbed over the belly and thighs. For long term, it can be used on alternate days. Take care not to scrape off the skin. It can be continued for 2 – 3 months time.

Is kolakulaptadi lepa beneficial for knee stiffness and knee-crackling sound? Where is the powder available? Please. Give me details.
Can this powder be applied for knee stiffness and crackling-sound in knee?
i suggest not to use in such condition since it is a symptom of osteo artritis not rheumatoid arthritis, and it needs oil massage not with powder. you can go with dhanwantarem taila or kottamchukkadi taila.
Thank for the suggestion.. I will try..
Thank you very much for your prompt reply…this is one kind if social service you are doing…much appreciable…..
Doctor, I am a 40+ woman….have been maintaining my physique and skin well with home remedies. But in a span of an year, noticeable signs of aging on my face like cheek sagging, dropping eye lid, under eye darkening etc…pl suggest me how to get-rid-of this?…what massage I have to do for skin tightening?…and also for dropping eye lid?
is it a must to take a steam bath after udvartana massage to melt fat. is this fat past out thru urination.
It will be useful if steam bath is taken after powder massage, but it is not totally necessary.
Fat does not pass through urination.
Why is steam necessary after udhwartanam? Also, can one take a hot tub bath instead of steam? Will that be helpful as well.?
steam is to further liquefy and mobilize fat. Hot tub bath is good enough alternative for steam.
For outside India, it should be available in ayurvedaforall.com
Please search.
Hi, you can mix it with Kottamchukkadi tailam , make a paste, heat a little and apply to painful areas, leave it for 10-15 minutes, wash off with hot water.
