What Are the Benefits of Adhimadhuram for Skin, and How Can It Be Used? - #11910

Anonymously

I’ve been reading about the benefits of adhimadhuram (also known as licorice root), and I am particularly interested in its uses for skincare. Can someone explain how adhimadhuram for skin works in Ayurveda and how it can help treat conditions like acne, pigmentation, or dryness? I know that adhimadhuram for skin is often used to brighten the complexion, reduce pigmentation, and soothe irritation. How does it work at the cellular level to promote healthier skin? Should it be used topically as a paste or consumed internally for better results? I’ve heard that licorice has anti-inflammatory and antioxidant properties. How can these qualities help with acne or other inflammatory skin conditions? Can adhimadhuram for skin be applied directly to the face, or is it better mixed with other ingredients like honey or rose water? Additionally, does adhimadhuram for skin work for all skin types, or is it particularly suited for dry, sensitive, or oily skin? Are there any potential side effects of using licorice on the skin or consuming it for skin health? Lastly, how long should I use adhimadhuram before seeing visible results for skin improvement?

Adhimadhuram (licorice root) is highly valued in Ayurveda for its skin benefits, particularly for its ability to brighten the complexion, reduce pigmentation, and soothe irritation. It contains glabridin, an active compound that inhibits the enzyme responsible for melanin production, making it effective for treating pigmentation and dark spots. Its anti-inflammatory and antioxidant properties help reduce redness, acne, and inflammation, promoting healthier skin. Licorice works both topically and internally—topically, it can be applied as a paste (often mixed with honey or rose water) to the face to reduce acne or dryness, while internal consumption supports skin health by detoxifying the body. Adhimadhuram is suitable for all skin types, especially dry and sensitive skin, as it hydrates and soothes. However, those with oily skin may want to use it in moderation. Potential side effects are rare, but overuse may cause skin irritation or allergic reactions in sensitive individuals. For visible results, it typically takes 2 to 4 weeks of consistent use, either topically or as part of a balanced internal regimen.
