What is Vellai Kungiliyam (White Dammar)?

Vellai Kungiliyam, commonly known as White Dammar, is a unique natural resin harvested from the endemic White Dammar trees native to the Western Ghats of India. This resin has been revered in Ayurveda for centuries due to its diverse healing properties and therapeutic benefits. At Herbolaya, we bring you authentic, sustainably sourced White Dammar, processed to preserve its natural potency for your holistic health needs.

Traditional and Modern Health Benefits of White Dammar

Balances Body Temperature & Supports Respiratory Health

Known traditionally for its cooling properties, White Dammar helps regulate body temperature and provides relief from respiratory ailments such as bronchitis, asthma, dry cough, and flu symptoms.

Effective for Neurological & Chronic Pain Conditions

White Dammar’s potent resin is used in managing neurological disorders, hemicrania (one-sided headaches), neuralgia, and chronic rheumatism. Its anti-inflammatory effects also aid in relieving pain from arthritis and other chronic conditions.

Women’s Health & Menstrual Support

Widely recommended in Ayurvedic practice, White Dammar is beneficial for women suffering from amenorrhea (absence of menstruation) and dysmenorrhea (painful periods), helping restore natural menstrual cycles and ease discomfort.

Skin Health & Antioxidant Properties

Rich in phenols and flavonoids, White Dammar exhibits strong antioxidant activity. It is traditionally used to treat skin rashes, itching, inflammation, wrinkles, and chronic skin disorders. The resin’s external application promotes healthy, glowing skin.

Other Therapeutic Uses

This resin has been used historically to support treatment of hemorrhoids, tubercular glands, hemicrania, epilepsy, and hernia. It also acts as a natural insect repellent and air purifier when its smoke is combined with sandalwood powder.
