Kairali Journal

Practical guidance on Ayurveda, written to be used rather than admired. Here we explain how Ayurvedic preparations work in everyday life: what distinguishes a choornam from an arishtam, how to read a product label properly, how to store a herbal oil so that it keeps, and what to ask a qualified practitioner before you begin. Everything published here is general education. It is not medical advice, and nothing on this page is intended to diagnose, treat or prevent any condition.

Start here

If you are new to Ayurvedic products, begin with our guide to using them correctly. It covers labels, dosage, timing and storage in one place, and explains when to stop and seek advice.

Judging what you read

Every article shows when it was published and when it was last materially updated, so you can see how current it is.

If you have a question about a product you already own, the label is always the first authority. For anything the label does not cover, our support team can help.
