Few preparations in the subcontinent’s Unani tradition are as widely known as sanda oil, and few are as widely counterfeited. Laraib makes it properly: the classical active carried in a cold-pressed base, compounded under DRAP enterprise licence in Multan, filled into sealed glass and marked clearly for external use only. What you buy is what the old formularies actually describe.
What it is traditionally used for
- Traditional support for local firmness and tone in men’s care
- Helping address softness and loss of condition as described in Unani texts
- Supporting healthy circulation in the tissue it is massaged into
- Traditional support for local fullness and general condition
- Applied as part of a regular, unhurried nightly routine
How it is made
The sanda active is prepared by the classical method, then infused into a cold-pressed sesame and olive base held at low controlled heat over several days so nothing is scorched. The oil is settled, double-filtered until clear and bottled in small glass. All materials are single-origin, with no mineral oil, synthetic fragrance or artificial preservative added.
How to take it
For external use only, and this matters — it is never to be swallowed. Apply four to six drops to clean, dry skin and massage gently for two to three minutes once at night, letting it absorb before dressing. Wash your hands afterwards. Patch-test one drop on the forearm before your first full use.

My father used sanda oil from a hakeem in the old city and said the smell of this one is right, which coming from him is high praise. Light, warm scent, nothing chemical. Ordering a second bottle.

Straightforward, honest product. No exaggerated packaging, clear external-use warning, plain box on delivery to Kasur. I use four drops at night as instructed and one bottle has covered five weeks comfortably.

Bought this because everything sold loose in Larkana is obviously adulterated. The Laraib bottle came sealed with a batch date. Oil is thin and absorbs cleanly. Marking one star off purely because 10 ml at this price is steep.
