In Ayurvedic herbalism, herbal oils are used for a wide variety of reasons. Narayana Muscle Oil is among the most revered of all these Ayurvedic preparations. Its nourishing qualities are derived from some of the most precious herbs of Ayurveda. Traditionally, it is massaged into the temples and joints and used to enhance the suppleness of muscles and tendons in general. In East India, such oils are also commonly used to moisten nasal passages.
