What is the Tamil name for Manjistha plant, and how is it used in Ayurveda? - #12311
I recently came across Manjistha, and I’m interested in knowing more about this plant, especially its uses in Ayurvedic medicine. I’m curious about what the Tamil name for Manjistha is and how it is used for skin health, detoxification, and immunity. In Tamil, I’ve heard that Manjistha is called "மஞ்சிஷ்டா" (Manjishtha), but I’m unsure about its specific uses and how it’s applied in Ayurvedic treatments. How does Manjistha help in detoxifying the body and purifying the blood? Is it commonly used for treating skin conditions, such as acne, eczema, or rashes? One of the key benefits of Manjistha in Ayurveda is its role in reducing inflammation and promoting healthy circulation. How effective is Manjistha in treating joint pain or inflammatory conditions like arthritis? Can it be used internally (as a powder or in capsules) or externally (as a paste) for better results? I also read that Manjistha helps in enhancing skin tone and preventing pigmentation. How does it help in improving complexion, and should it be used regularly as a face pack or in a formulation like Manjistha oil for skin rejuvenation? Lastly, I want to understand if there are any side effects of using Manjistha. Is it safe for long-term use, or should it be taken in moderation? Are there any contraindications for people with specific health conditions such as pregnancy, high blood pressure, or kidney issues? If anyone has used Manjistha in Tamil Ayurvedic remedies, I would love to hear your experience. What benefits did you notice, and how did you use it for skin, detox, or overall health? Looking forward to your insights!
