Unsprain Oil

Unsprain Oil is a proprietary Ayurvedic massage oil by Prachyam Ayurveda, traditionally used to help ease minor sprains, muscle soreness, stiffness and everyday joint discomfort. It is for external use only. What is in it: Unsprain Oil blends four classical medicated oils (taila) that Ayurvedic practice has long used for pain and stiffness of Vata origin — Mahanarayan Taila, Mahamasha Taila, Prasarini Taila and Mahavishgarbha Taila. Each is itself a multi-herb preparation described in Bhaishajya Ratnavali under Vatavyadhi (disorders of Vata). Prasarini Taila is named after the herb Prasarini (Paederia foetida) and Mahamasha Taila after Masha (black gram, Vigna mungo). How Ayurveda explains it: pain, stiffness and restricted movement after strain are read as aggravated Vata in the muscles (Mamsa) and joints (Sandhi). Warm, unctuous oils massaged into the area are the classical response — Abhyanga for general stiffness, and gentle local application for a strained muscle or joint. How to use: take 5–10 ml, or enough to cover the area, and massage gently in circular strokes for 5–10 minutes until absorbed, 2–3 times a day. For a fresh sprain, rest the joint and use cold, not heat, for the first 48 hours; begin gentle massage once the initial swelling settles. Who it suits: adults with minor sprains and strains, post-exercise muscle soreness, stiff neck, shoulders or back, and the everyday joint stiffness of an active or ageing body. Please note: Unsprain Oil is not a substitute for medical care. See a doctor for severe pain or swelling, a suspected fracture or torn ligament, inability to bear weight, numbness, or pain that does not improve within a few days.
