Manjistha Powder:

Manjistha or Indian Madder is a type of flowering plant from the coffee family Rubiaceae. It is considered to be one of the best blood-purifying herbs. It is mainly used to break down blockages in the blood flow and remove stagnant blood. Manjistha can be used both internally and externally. It can be used on skin for promoting skin whitening. Applying Manjistha along with honey or rose water (at least 2-3 times a week) helps manage acne & pimples by inhibiting the growth of acne-causing bacteria due to its antioxidant property. Rinsing your eyes with Manjistha decoction might help control excessive watery discharge due to its astringent property. It is also helpful in keeping the hair shiny and healthy. As per Ayurveda, taking Manjistha Powder along with honey after lunch and dinner helps manage diarrhea. Consuming Manjistha on a regular basis might be good for diabetes as it lowers the blood glucose levels. It is advisable to take 1/2 TSP of Manjistha Powder with hot water, if you already have any digestion-related problem. Excessive consumption of Manjistha might cause constipation.
