Kumkumadi Tailam

Pampore saffron, sixteen herbs, aged

The most expensive preparation in the house, and the slowest. Grade-one Mongra saffron (Crocus sativus) from Pampore is ground with manjistha, lodhra, chandana and thirteen other varnya herbs, then cooked into a sesame and goat’s milk base across seven separate pakas, and rested for forty days before filling.

Kumkumadi tailam is the classical varnya preparation of Ayurveda, traditionally applied at night to support an even complexion and the softness of facial skin. Two or three drops are enough for the whole face. Patch-test before first use, and consult a physician if you have an active skin condition.

    The label tells you everything

    I have bought triphala from a dozen places over the years. This is the first jar that told me which three fruits, in what ratio, which harvest and which laboratory tested the lot. The churna itself is finer and smells fresher than anything from the big brands.

    The vaidya told me to buy less

    I ordered four things and the consultation call went twenty-five minutes. The vaidya asked about my routine, my sleep and my prakriti, then said two of the four were unnecessary for me and offered to refund them. I have ordered from nobody else since.

    Kumkumadi is the real thing

    Genuinely saffron-heavy, and the colour on the pillowcase proves it. Expensive, but a 30 ml bottle has lasted me five months at three drops a night. Four stars only because the dropper leaked slightly in transit - they replaced the cap without argument.

    COD, delivered in three days

    Ordered the chyawanprash on Cash on Delivery on a Monday and it reached Surat on Thursday, packed properly in a glass jar with no leakage. Tastes like the one my grandmother used to make rather than the sweet paste sold in shops.
