These are made from a combination of herbs . Traditionally it is in the form of a powder. For application warm water is added and into a paste to be applied at specific areas  of the body. The disadvantage of such a paste however is that it is messy and can leave a yellow mark on the forehead.  Modern technology  has enabled the paste to be converted into cream form without losing its effectiveness.

Pilis
Pilis can be applied on the forehead. 2 to 3 times a day or when  necessary. It helps to reduce headaches,  dizziness and blurred vision.

Tapel
Tapel is applied at the abdomen area before the Gurita and bengkung is wrapped around it. It’s main function is to reduce wind and water retention in the abdomen area. It also helps muscle healing.

Param
Param is applied over the parts of the body where there is aching (where pilis and tapel is not applied). It’s main function is to reduce the aches and pain as the joints and muscles readjust to its original position.
