Pirant Balm for cooling, refreshing Ayurvedic balm

Maharishi Ayurveda Pirant Balm (MA728) is a rich Ayurvedic balm made with organic sesame oil, natural beeswax, essential oils, 48 herbal extracts and spices. Traditionally used as a massage balm, it gives a refreshing, cooling sensation while helping the skin and senses feel relaxed and revived.

This compact balm is especially useful after sport, during hot weather, or when the body needs a cooling, aromatic massage. It is also traditionally valued during the cold season for its refreshing effect on the chest and senses.

Main benefits

• Soothes Joint and Muscle Stiffness: Menthol, camphor, thymol, and clove oil provide an immediate cooling-to-warming sensation that increases local microcirculation, relaxing tight muscles and easing joint stiffness.
• Post-Workout & Fatigue Recovery: Massaging the balm into tired limbs or strained muscles helps relieve exercise-induced soreness, tension, and localised swelling.
• Respiratory & Congestion Relief: When applied to the chest, back, or throat, volatile aromatic oils like eucalyptus, cinnamon, and fennel emit soothing vapours that help clear nasal passages and ease chest tightness during seasonal colds.
• Deep Tissue Nourishment: The organic sesame oil and beeswax base allows herbal extracts like Withania somnifera (Ashwagandha) and Sida cordifolia (Bala) to penetrate the skin layers, supporting tissue comfort and skin hydration.
• Nourishes the Skin: Organic sesame oil and natural beeswax help soften, protect and condition the skin.
