Talam: Ayurvedic Head Treatment for Nourishment and Healing
Talam is a traditional Ayurvedic therapy that involves applying a medicated paste to the head, specifically to the crown and sometimes to the forehead. The paste is made from a mixture of herbs, medicinal oils, and flours, and is typically kept on the head for a certain period to allow the herbs to penetrate the scalp and calm the mind. Talam is primarily used to address mental stress, nervous disorders, and head- related ailments.
Key Benefits of Talam
