Our Legacy
Sri K. Prabhakaran Vaidyar
The story of the famous “Muttikulangara oil” is seven generations old, where one of their ancestors Velandi Vaidyar found a herbal leaf during his fishing expeditions. Legend has it that he cleaned and kept fresh pieces of fish wrapped in a leaf from the nearby tree. On reaching home, no cuts were visible on the pieces and surprisingly they were seen joined.
The Vaidyar’s village which is located near the western Ghats is naturally blessed with forests that homes a variety of rare medicinal plants. Mixing the medicinal leaf and other rare combination of herbs with coconut oil as a base, he thus created the miracle medicine. The product was called Muttikulangara oil, reflecting the name of place of origin.
This centuries-old sacred knowledge, passed down through generations has grown into a name to reckon with, due to the efforts of Late Sri. Prabhakaran Vaidyar (1925-1997) – one of the pioneers who engaged in manufacturing and retailing the oil mix.
At the young age of 20, he started the K. Prabhakaran Vaidyar’s Muttikulangara Vaidyasala. With the handed over knowledge about the ingredients, he committed himself to develop this carefully crafted remedy. Setting a steady price over years, he never considered it as a means of reaping profit, but relief to common people. Due to this noble gesture and quality of the product, hundreds have visited Vaidyasala for treatment. With the expertise in the field and unparallel commitment, he imprinted the brand name in the hearts of millions which even after seven decades is emerging strong.
In an effort to make this unique healing solution reach people beyond boundaries, Muralidharan is looking forward to expanding this into a world-wide retailing network. He is making suitable changes in production, by modernising the system according to present needs but not compromising on the quality maintained for more than 70 years.
By going global, he hopes to bring the authentic Muttikulangara oil to your doorstep. Focused on purity, authenticity and product formulation that is deeply rooted in traditional principles, he makes sure your body gets the natural ayurvedic treatment and care it deserves.
