Before my delivery like any other mom, my Amma had started searching for a caretaker / nanny for me and my baby. After months of wide search , phone calls to her friends and relatives Amma found the one she was searching for. We called her ” Pushpa” Aunty and must say we were blessed to have her. Cheerful , energetic and full of life, she used to take care of me , baby and even help Amma in the kitchen. Gradually she became a part of my family. When Anshika was 3 months old , she left us for the next appointment she had committed. Even today she makes it a point to come home and look at Anshika’s latest photos that we send to Amma. This oil was suggested by her as she vouches on Ayurveda and Ayurvedic products. So this post is the review of Lakshadi Keratailam Ayurvedic Massage Oil for baby

Yes you can shwetha.
Hello Sangeetha,
Is it good for boy babies. As my son is two month oil, after reading your review I’m gonna buy this oil. My doubt is as it contains oil can it be applied in boy baby because turmeric resists beard and moustache growth after he grew up. Pls reply me. Thank u. And I’m a fan of kottakal kumkumadi tailam. Those products were superb.
Lookong for nanny or care taker for my 15 day old baby and myself. Please suggest if you know anyone in Bangalore.

Meena,
A baby’s skin complexion would be genetical either from father or mother’s family. You can use the oil to see a difference in baby’s even toned skin with regular usage. But complexion entirely depends on the genes she inherited.
how to apply this oil for babies..i heard it should be heated before applying to baby..pls clarify
please tell me nalpamaradhi kera thailam is good for baby massage?
Yes Roshi its very good for baby’s massage. Will post the review pretty soon here.
Hi, I have 5 months old male bay. His skin is not so fair and his Mom is very upset for the same.One my colleague suggest to me that Lakshadhi kerathailam is good for babies skin and the regular use of the thailam cause better result for baby skin fairness. Is it true?? Idon’t know the use of Ayurveda..
How long it will be used for for the fairness of his skin??
Please advice to me the uses and the ways to apply his body.. Any problem causes to apply his face and eyes?
Eager to wait your reply Mam…
Hi Ani ,
A baby’s skin color and complexion is highly determined by the genes he has inherited. Please tell this to your mom. I can understand how you feel as a mom on this…Lakshadi keratailam has turmeric in it which is good for clearing out the skin and whitening properties.
You can use it but I don’t know if it guarantees the white complexion. Its a very good massage oil and please don’t apply it on his head or eyes or ears. Its strictly for body massage only. Thanks for commenting 🙂
can we Lakshadhi kerathailam for new born babies?
Yes you can , please note lakshadi keratailam shouldnt be used on hair as it has turmeric.
Hiee sangeeta…today I bought this oil for my 18 months old toddler…his complexion is getting dull and I thought of giving it a try…one of my friends baby girl used dermadew soap to improve complexion and I guess whether soap is going to do any wonders but u wont believe that it has really done… and I am yet to believe it…anywayz if this oil works out I am going to definitely believe and share it. Thanx for the review !
hi am nancy my daughter is 1 yr old she fair an using gram flour+ green gram flour powder for bathing planning to add paneer rose to it can i use this oil for my little one i just want to maintain her skin tone guide me please
Hi Nancy,
Thanks for commenting 🙂
Yes you can use this oil to maintain the skin tone and even improve it too..
Hi Sangeetha, its nice to see the review of Lakshadhi thailam..Even i am using this for my baby…As an Ayurvedic doctor I can give you more benefits of lakshadhi oil..
1. It gives strength to the bones.
2. It gives strength and flexible movements to the muscles.
3. It helps in improving the skin complexion as it contains turmeric.
4. It gives moisture to the baby’s skin.
Hope this info will help u more..
Hi Athira …Thanks a ton for the info given. Treasure each of your points..
Hi Athira, can you please let me know if both Lakshadhi kerathailam and Nalpamaradi Kerathailam can be used for BOY babies? Thanks in advance!
Hi Jaini
Yes, its absolutely ok to use both lakshadhi kerathailam and nalpamaradhi kerathailam for boys and girls.
My mom did the same for me during my 1st delivery 🙂 and hope to do it again soon for our 2nd 🙂 I am pinning this, because we will use Kottackal's oil for the baby massage anyway 🙂 Thanks for the great review!
