What Makes Kumkumadi Tailam a Skincare Legend?

Kumkumadi Tailam (or Kumkumadi Oil) derives its name from 'Kumkuma' (Saffron), its key ingredient.

The solution combines sesame oil with over twenty herbs to develop a natural healing treatment for skin restoration.

Ayurvedic Roots: The Science Behind the Glow

Key Ayurvedic Benefits:

Balances Doshas: Saffron cools Pitta, sesame oil hydrates Vata, and Manjistha detoxifies Kapha.

Precautions to Keep in Mind

While Maharishi Kumkumadi oil is 100% safe, I suggest that you do a quick patch test if you have sensitive skin. Use it sparingly if your skin is oily, and avoid applying too much if you have large, open pores.

Why Choose Maharishi Ayurveda?

Kumkumadi Taila by Maharishi Ayurveda utilizes 26 healing herbs, including Pure Saffron, red Sandalwood, and Goat Milk, to nourish the skin while maintaining its natural radiance.

Rooted in the Science of Varna

Kumkumadi Tailam isn’t just about superficial glow—it aligns with Ayurveda’s concept of Varna, which ties skin health to internal harmony. Varna reflects the balance of Agni (digestive fire), doshas, and dhatus (tissues).

Crafted by Vaidyas, Backed by Scripture

Following the Ashtanga Hridayam, Maharishi’s Vaidyas slow-cook 26 herbs (including Yashtimadhu and lotus) in sesame oil for 72+ hours. This Taila Paka method ensures potent absorption, aligning with Ayurvedic texts that link skin radiance to herb-infused oils.

Holistic Results Beyond Beauty

Unlike synthetic brighteners, Kumkumadi Tailam enhances Varna by:

Purifying Rakta Dhatu (blood tissue) with Manjistha.
Balancing Pitta (governing skin health) with cooling saffron.
Nourishing Twak (skin layer) via sesame oil’s omega fatty acids.

Ethical & Transparent

Every herb is harvested during its optimal season (e.g., saffron in autumn) for peak potency, ensuring the oil’s prana (life force) aligns with Ayurvedic principles of seasonal wellness.
