Massage naturally: Dabur lal tail review

If you are planning for a baby or trying to find medicines or natural cure for your baby, you must have come across natural cures and alternate medicine.

Ayurveda is the world’s oldest practiced system of medicine, and considered by many to be world’s best health care system. The global shift towards herbal and natural remedies opens up great opportunities for ayurveda across the world.

Dabur Lal Tail developed by Dabur India Limited contains all natural ingredients like Till Tail, Ratanjyot, Shankha Pushpi, Camphor and Urad. As per the literature, Till Tail or Sesame Oil improves growth and post-massage sleep, Ratanjyot protects against skin infection, Shankha Pushpi cures general weakness, Camphor improves blood circulation and Urad nourishes muscles & bones.

Here is the ad for the product from Dabur:




The product is not so oily and is very smooth. One of the advantages I found is that it doesn't get frozen in winter like other oils. Washing it off is easier as it is not so oily, so baby doesn't feel uneasy to keep it on for a long time and if there are so many health benefits like double the growth, both physical and behaviourial, I think you should give it a try to see if your baby likes it. The smell is a bit strong and I think it is because of the herbs in the product.

What do you think is the best oil for your baby?

Product rating: 3.5/5

Know-ember challenge

This November, I put myself to this test. Can I bring you 30 topics/arguments/opinions that would come one at a time? I hope to do that and I hope you would find it as interesting and captivating as I hope it would be. So here it goes the first one!

Kenaf or Gongura in Telugu is a famous ingredient in andhra. One of the most sought out dishes for pickles and curry, kenaf brings in a a soury tingle to the dishes while balancing the fibre content when cooked along high protein ingredients. Now you didn't know gongura is called Kenaf. Did you?

Dabur's An Immune India mission

There is disease everywhere and in everything. Or some how that is what we are made to believe. This is not just from what we find on doing some research but this scaring info is shared to us on all fronts. Face it you see it everywhere. In news, on tv and in ads and everywhere else. Starting from toothpaste, to soap to skin cream to paints. Everywhere there is disease and you have to guard yourself to be safe. Guard yourself, your family and children from everything possible. Are we paranoid?

While a lot of brands are supporting complete(with a star mark) protection there are very few which will actually help build your immunity. India being a traditionally blessed country with a variety of herbs and natural ingredients, we are also very knowledgeable in terms of traditional medicine. Ayurveda is a well known system of alternative medicine. While other types of medicine are invasive, Ayurveda helps the body gain strength naturally and fight out the disease causing germs and cleanses the human body. 

Building an immune body is important to stay healthy. Some of the well known ingredients to enhance immunity are as follows:

1. Ashwagandha - It has antistress, anti oxidant and immunomodulatory properties
2. Guduchi - It has antioxidant and immunomodulatory properties and helps to provide strength. It acts as rejuvenator too.
3. Satavari - It helps to promotes general health. It helps improve memory and is found to be beneficial for eyes.
4. Bala - It has anti oxidant properties and acts as a strength promoter
5. Vidarikand - Acts as a rejuvenator.

One of the few products that focuses on building immunity and actually claims three times more immunity is Dabur Chyawanprash. Simply put, immunity is the body’s most reliable defense against diseases and it can be made stronger. It's anti-oxidant properties and helps to strengthen your body's internal defence mechanism - the immune system - thereby protecting you from day to day infections such as cough, cold etc.



What do I think about the product?

• Safe as it only uses over 40 natural ingredients
• Sugar free option called Chyawanprakash makes it elderly-friendly
• Multiple flavours makes it kid-friendly (Mixed fruit, Orange and Mango)
• By addressing the question of immunity it is in the right attitude
