Manjistha Powder also known as Majith Powder or Indian Madder, is widely recognized as one of the premier herbs for purifying the blood. Its primary function is to dissolve obstructions in the bloodstream and to facilitate the removal of stagnant blood.

Manjistha Powder can be applied in various ways, including both internal consumption and external application to the skin, to aid in skin brightening. A mixture of Manjistha powder with honey used two to three times a week, helps in reducing acne and pimples. This is because it prevents the proliferation of bacteria responsible for acne through its antioxidant capabilities.

The external use of a mix of Manjistha Powder and coconut oil can decrease inflammation and alleviate skin irritations caused by acne, thanks to its anti-inflammatory properties. Additionally, it contributes to the maintenance of shiny and healthy hair.

Washing the eyes with a decoction of Manjistha Powder could alleviate excessive tear production, attributed to its astringent qualities.

From the perspective of Ayurveda, consuming Manjistha powder post meals can alleviate diarrhea, supported by its digestive and appetizer qualities. Regular intake of Manjistha may also benefit those with diabetes by reducing blood sugar levels.

However, it's important to note that overconsumption of Manjistha can lead to constipation, a side effect of its heavy and astringent properties. Therefore, those with pre-existing digestive issues are recommended to consume Manjistha with warm water.
