Few classical preparations carry as much quiet reputation as Dhanwantharam. In capsule form it becomes a measured, everyday companion, keeping a traditional oil formula close at hand without any of the preparation it once required.

What the capsules hold

Dhanwantharam 101 Avarthy Capsules present a classical Thailam (a medicated herbal oil, also called taila) in convenient form. The oil is traditionally made by cooking sesame oil with herbal decoctions and pastes, then refining it through repeated cycles. Each cycle is an avarthy, and the number 101 indicates that this enrichment has been carried out many times to reach a concentrated preparation. The capsule simply makes measured internal use easier within a modern routine.

The classical perspective

The classical texts describe Dhanwantharam taila among preparations regarded as nourishing, warming and steadying, and they speak of it in relation to the Vata Dosha (the functional principle of movement) as part of a wider way of living. These are traditional ideas rooted in classical theory, offered here as heritage rather than as any claim of treatment. In practice such a preparation is:

  • Understood as one element within a complete Ayurvedic regimen.
  • Kept alongside balanced meals, adequate rest and suitable activity.
  • Chosen and adjusted according to individual constitution.

Within a daily routine

The capsules are usually taken with lukewarm water, often after food, in keeping with the general Ayurvedic preference for taking oil-based preparations alongside meals. Many people settle on fixed times, such as morning and evening, so the practice becomes a stable part of Dinacharya (the classical daily routine). Light, easily digestible meals and gentle movement such as walking suit this rhythm well.

Dhanwantharam 101 Avarthy Capsules are a food supplement and are not a substitute for a varied and balanced diet or a healthy lifestyle. Do not exceed the serving size on the label. Those who are pregnant, nursing, older, or following other regimens should seek professional guidance before regular use.

Questions we are often asked

What does 101 avarthy mean?

Avarthy refers to a cycle of processing. A 101 avarthy oil has been refined through many such cycles, giving a concentrated classical preparation.

Why a capsule?

The capsule offers a clean, measured way to take an oil preparation internally, with none of the daily processing the traditional method involves.
