FAQ

What Does Ayurveda Say About the Benefits of Kumkumadi Thailam for Skin Health & Rejuvenation?

In Ayurveda, Kumkumadi Thailam means ‘saffron oil’. Even though this Ayurvedic face oil contains several skin-safe herbs, saffron is its core ingredient. We follow an ancient recipe to create our exclusive infused oil that supports natural skin health and rejuvenation.

What’s Inside the Kumkumadi Thailam?

Kumkumadi Thailam contains twenty-one special Ayurvedic herbs. We add each herb in equal quantities to leverage its benefits. However, their synergetic energy helps us target specific aspects of skin health.

For instance, saffron revitalizes skin cells and supports healthy cellular regeneration. Licorice roots assist their effects by encouraging a healthy response against environmental elements and occasional inflammation.  Likewise, the triple-action of Manjistha, Shalaparni, and Daruharidra leaves a soothing effect on the skin.

Alternatively, the combination of Ashwatha, Padmaka, and other herbs in this Ayurvedic oil enriches the skin. These ingredients also maintain hydration and healthy secretions. Both of which promote healthy aging of the skin.

Other benefits of Kumkumadi Thailam include its support for the natural elimination of toxins accumulating inside the skin cells. It is made possible by the presence of rejuvenating Ayurvedic herbs like Kantakari, Gambhari, Gokshura, etc.

Lastly, this Ayurvedic face oil also contains sesame as a carrier oil. It enhances the bioavailability of these powerful herbs and absorbs their synergetic action to boost effectiveness.

Together, this herbal blend maintains a healthy balance between excessive Pitta and Kapha doshas. Regular use ensures that you get healthy and maintain youthful skin.

Which Natural Phytonutrients Are Found in Kumkumadi Thailam?

Kumkumadi Thailam contains different parts of each Ayurvedic herb (i.e., seeds, roots, stems, and flowers). Due to this, it has a unique biochemical composition. Its most important bioactive compounds include alkaloids, glucosides, flavonoids, and saponins. Collectively, they enrich skin cells and promote natural rejuvenation.

They also have antioxidant properties that support healthy aging and the natural elimination of unwanted environmental elements.

Why Should You Choose Kumkumadi Thailam Oil for Skin Health & Rejuvenation?

Athreya Kumkumadi Thailam is a premium Ayurvedic face oil that comprises 20 potent herbs. Its ingredients are beneficial for skin health and revitalization. They support healthy blood circulation and maintain skin hydration. These actions promote healthy, supple, and radiant skin.

Kumkumadi Thailam follows the original recipe of the Bhaishajya Ratnavali. We use pure saffron in sufficient quantity, which makes the oil rich with its colour and action. We also separately extract saffron and then cook it in oil. It is an efficient way to preserve all active principles of saffron.

We also harvest Manjistha from the Himalayan region, as its optimal conditions retain the herb's rejuvenating property.

We handcraft this herbal oil at our manufacturing facility using freshly harvested ingredients from herbal gardens to benefit the skin. Every batch of Kumkumadi oil is cooked in a traditional way to preserve all the active principles of our herbs. Our experienced team produces the herbal oil in small batches in a traditional pharmacy to enhance its effectiveness.

How Do We Make Kumkumadi Thailam?

Our Ayurvedic experts use sesame oil as the base oil for the production of Kumkumadi Thailam facial oil. The next step includes the heating phase of our herbal decoction, powder, and oil. We warm this mixture until all the water from the decoction evaporates. The presence of sesame oil helps us create and retain the potency of fat and water-soluble active ingredients.

We produce this oil in small batches to maintain its freshness and effectiveness.

We collaborate with organic and conventional farmers to cultivate these herbal ingredients or ethically wild-harvest from them. They work under our supervision and use substantial Ayurvedic practices. These farmers do not use any toxic chemicals or pesticides during the harvest and processing.

Apart from this, our Ayurvedic experts (Vaidyas, traditionally trained in India) carefully select herbal ingredients while formulating this all-natural blend. They make this possible by only choosing ethically wild-crafted and active ingredients. Such careful sourcing enhances the quality of the ingredients and the benefits of Kumkumadi Thailam.

Even though we source these ingredients from India, we process the final products within the USA.

Our experienced professionals only use the purest natural form of whole herb product. We also ensure that there are no traces of any fillers, excipients, herbal extracts, binding agents, or added chemicals in the supplement. It allows us to provide you with whole foods and traditional Ayurveda products.

Besides this, all the supplements go through third-party quality assurance tests before shipment.

It's only here that you'll find Ayurvedic supplementation that helps enrich your body with strength, vitality, and optimal health.

The saffron in this oil, and the overall formula, make it a luxurious face oil I return to year after year. I savor it, use it in times of need, and sometimes use it daily. It is expensive, yes, as one would expect with such a rich concentration of saffron. It feels healing to the skin. It gives a subtle glow. Apply it before bed for an even, well primed complexion in the morning.

Thank you so much for this beautiful and thoughtful feedback about our HEALTHY FACE OIL (KUMKUMADI THAILAM)! We’re truly honored that this has remained a cherished part of your skincare ritual over the years. It’s wonderful to hear how intentionally you use and savor it, and that it feels so supportive and nourishing for your skin. Thank you for being part of the Athreya community.

Allergy, Eczema, & Psoriasis Relief

I have food and seasonal allergies. My face & neck break out in hives and I have mild eczema and psoriasis on my hands. I have been applying Kumkumadi Oil (Healthy Face Oil) and taking Athreya's Healthy Skin Capsules for 2 weeks. My skin and hair feel so soft, the eczema on my hands has cleared up and the psoriasis is almost gone. I have zero texture on my face, my pores look smaller, and the blackheads on my nose are almost gone. I am so grateful for these products!

excellent serum

I was kinda skeptical cause I usually get pimples from using oil on my face but this one is whole another story!
Perfect for sensitive skin, moistness really well and makes your skin glow.
Also gotta mention that it took me couple weeks to get used to the smell.
Anyhow I'm about to order the second bottle as I'm writing this review.

Radiant glow

I LOVE this oil! I received my oil, used it in the evening and then in the morning before going to work... and several coworkers and clients commented about there being something “different... more radiant” about my face. I have extremely sensitive skin, and it seems very happy with this oil. So grateful!

Best face oil

This oil is amazing. It is very gentle and works on different skin type. My husband has really oily skin and he said it made it less oily and irritated when he has it on overnight. I have very dry skin and it keeps my face moisturized. My face is always glowing and I’ve been getting a lot of compliments on my skin since I started using it.
