what is gandhak - #25794

Christopher

I am feeling really confused about something I've been hearing a lot lately. I’ve been dealing with chronic skin issues for a few months now, and my Ayurvedic friend mentioned something called gandhak. It sounds interesting but I honestly don’t know what it really means. I’m in my late 30s and have tried loads of creams and treatments that just don’t work, and I think I'm starting to lose hope! She said that gandhak is somehow connected to healing, especially for skin, and I feel like I might be missing out on something good. Like, what is gandhak exactly? Is it a herb, mineral or something? I read somewhere that it could help with inflammation and detoxing, which is what I need since my skin feels like it’s going through a war - red, itchy and just not pretty at all! Could someone explain what is gandhak meant to do and how I might go about using it? Really appreciate any insight before I go down another rabbit hole of treatments!
