Brass Uruli

At Cardamom County we make every effort to ensure the uniqueness of our guests’ experience. One way is to invite them to watch our Ayura staff along with Dr. Pameela, our in-house Ayurvedic doctor, prepare the traditional herbal oils used in Ayurvedic massage. They first harvested the special herbs in our gardens. The herbs are then soaked in water overnight to extract a concentrate that by morning turns into a rich concoction called kashaya. This mixture is then brought to a boil in a large brass vessel called an uruli.

Sesame oil is added and the mixture is allowed to boil until the water evaporates and the mixture emulsifies. This process can take anywhere from 6 to 7 hours. What’s left after completion is an herb-rich oil that can reduce various aches and pains as well as prevent hair loss and many other such problems.
