1. Primary Skin Benefits (Skincare)

Manjishta is best known in Ayurveda as a Raktashodhak (blood purifier) and Varnya (complexion enhancer).

• Promotes Radiance & Glow: It is highly effective in improving skin complexion and adding a natural, healthy luster to the skin. It helps remove dullness.

• Fights Acne & Pimples: Its antibacterial and anti-inflammatory properties make it excellent for treating acne-prone skin. It attacks the bacteria causing breakouts and soothes redness.

• Reduces Pigmentation: It is widely used to treat hyperpigmentation, dark spots, acne scars, and uneven skin tone by purifying the blood and promoting healing.

• Anti-Aging: Rich in antioxidants, Manjishta helps fight free radicals, potentially delaying signs of aging like wrinkles and fine lines.

• Treats Skin Conditions: It helps in managing skin issues like eczema, psoriasis, and dermatitis due to its cooling and detoxifying nature.

2. Hair Care Benefits

• Natural Hair Colorant: It can be added to henna or other herbal hair dyes to achieve reddish or burgundy undertones.

• Scalp Health: It helps manage dandruff and scalp infections.

3. Internal Health Benefits (If consumable)

Check the packaging to ensure it is "food grade" before consuming. Many face pack powders are for external use only.

• Blood Purification: It is considered one of the best herbs for detoxifying the blood and liver.

• Lymphatic Support: It supports the lymphatic system, helping to drain toxins from the body.

How to Use It (Simple Face Packs)

Since you have the powder ready, here are two quick ways to use it:

For Glowing Skin:

1. Mix 1 tsp Manjishta Powder with 1 tsp Honey.

2. Apply to the face for 15 minutes.

3. Wash off with lukewarm water.

For Acne & Oily Skin:

1. Mix 1 tsp Manjishta Powder with Aloe Vera Gel or Rose Water.

2. Apply to affected areas.

3. Rinse after drying.

⚠️ Important Note: Manjishta has a strong red pigment. If you have very pale skin, do not leave it on for too long as it might leave a temporary reddish tint. Always do a patch test on your arm before applying it to your face.
