This project aims to explicitly comprehend the anti microbial properties of different types of ayurvedic massage oils. Ayurvedic oils are believed to possess ingredients that contain the ability to inhibit the growth of certain microbes. A large number of microbes are pathogenic and tend to impair and interfere with a plethora of human mechanisms and activities. This project demonstrates the outcome of ten diverse varieties of oils on the culture media that was prepared specifically for this experiment. The result has been substantiated with the examination of the various culture media and oil interaction via disk diffusion method. Kerala which is located in the extreme south western part of India has had a great historical significance in the trade of spices and various oils with some of the greatest ancient empires of the olden times. Ayurvedic oils are used for providing massages and they show an astounding ability to cure diseases including some stress related diseases through physiotherapy. When some ayurvedic oils like Balahatadi thailam, Thekaraaja keram and Pinda thailam were used in this experiment, they displayed some sturdy antimicrobial property against the samples that we used in this experiment namely Escherichia coli and Staphylococcus aureus and the maximum zone of inhibition was seen in the Balahatadi thailam with a radius of 1.8 cm.
