Thalam

Ayurveda is a vast field to treat illnesses and problems in people, with its multiple solutions, which are inclined with nature and completely safe. Of the many different treatments offered by Ayurveda, Thalam is one of the most widely known and recognised one. Thalam is a word in the ‘Malayalam’ language spoken in Kerala, India, where the Ayurveda is vastly practised, which essentially means retaining medicines at the centre of the head, which in the case of Thalam is done so using a head cap. Thalam as a treatment helps in the nourishment of brain cells, and largely prevent any damage to them. This treatment is known to reduce mental problems. Today, we face multiple levels of problems, and many of them are directly related to mental stress, which could be due to our daily hectic routine or pollution or lifestyle. The Thalam treatment is known to treat problems which are related to a lack of willpower, inability to concentrate or focus as well as enhancing overall mental health in patients, among many other benefits.

Thalam is a treatment which could be beneficial for both men and women. Patients who come in for Thalam treatment, usually face problems like a weak sight, skin problems, sleep problems like insomnia, migraines or even throat problems, among many others. It is also known to help patients with many complex issues such as facial paralysis, problems with the eyes and multiple other neurological issues.

Selected herbs are used to making the ayurvedic oil essential for the Thalam treatment. Our Ayurvedic doctors at Sri Veda Sushruta Ayurveda Hospital are experts in the field and know the exact herbs needed for the mix, which are then boiled with oil and which then is converted into a medicated paste. This paste is then applied to the top of the head and left there for about 20-minutes.
