Ok madam 🙏
Hey
Yes, Mahamanjisthadi Kwath and Khadirarishta are both widely used in Ayurvedic practice for chronic skin conditions like atopic dermatitis, eczema, and psoriasis. They can be taken for up to 6 months but take a gap of 15 days after 3 months.
Precautions - If you experience excess dryness, heat sensation, or digestive discomfort, reduce the dose or switch to a cooling anupana like coconut water or coriander water. - Avoid spicy, fried, and processed foods during the course. - External application of Manjistha oil, Neem oil, or Coconut oil may help soothe the skin. - Stay hydrated and follow a regular sleep routine.
Yes thank you. I’m feeling this dryness on skin by taking these two medicines. I’m also feeling that insects are crawling on my skin all over the body, and you know its very annoying, its not much in the daytime but it increases a lot in night.
What are the reasons for occuring of this dryness on the skin ? What should I do ?
Possible Reasons for Dryness & Crawling Sensation - Due to change in season - Vata aggravation: Dryness, crawling sensations, and nighttime worsening are classic signs of elevated Vata dosha. - Lack of internal oleation: If your diet is dry, light, or lacking in healthy fats, these medicines may intensify dryness. - Underlying skin hypersensitivity: If your skin barrier is already compromised, these medicines might trigger irritation.
What You Can Do Now
Ayurvedic Adjustments - Add internal oleation: Take 1 tsp of warm ghee or sesame oil daily, ideally in the morning. - Apply soothing oils: Use tila taila or coconut oil externally at night to calm skin and reduce Vata.
Supportive Diet - Warm, moist foods: khichdi, soups, stewed fruits. - Avoid dry snacks, caffeine, and excess spices. - Hydrate with herbal teas: fennel, coriander, or licorice.
Hi Aditya, along with these also take - 1. Gandhak Rasayan 1-0-1 After food 2. Arogyavardhini Vati 1-0-1 for 1 month 3. Cutis ointment for local application.
If the symptoms doesn’t not settle than you need to under Panchakarma treatment that is Virechana treatment at your nearby Panchakarma centre.

Manjisthadi Kwath and Khadiraristha are indeed often used in Ayurvedic practice to address skin disorders, including atopic dermatitis, by helping balance Pitta and Vata doshas, often imbalanced in such conditions. Manjisthadi Kwath is primarily used for its blood purifying properties, promoting skin health by soothing inflammation and reducing redness. Khadiraristha is an herbal formulation known for its beneficial impact on skin diseases, aiding digestion, and enhancing metabolism, which indirectly supports effective detoxification.
Taking these specifically for six months might be beneficial, but it’s important to consider a few aspects for overall well-being and safety. The consistency of using these formulations can aid in addressing underlying causes, but periodic assessment is advised. Manjisthadi Kwath generally is taken at a dosage of 15-20 ml with an equal amount of water, once or twice a day on an empty stomach. Khadiraristha is usually taken in 15-30 ml, mixed with an equal quantity of water after meals.
However, individual constitution or prakriti, and the balance/imbalance of doshas must be considered carefully. While these formulations could support symptom management, it’s critical to monitor any changes or side effects, and preferably under guidance of a qualified Ayurvedic practitioner. Sometimes long-term use without supervision can lead to further imbalance or toxicity.
Additionally, dietary adjustments are equally pivotal, emphasizing light, Pitta and Vata pacifying diets can be beneficial. Consumption of warm, nutrient-rich foods, avoiding triggers like dairy or processed foods, and maintaining hydration can support overall improvements. Ensuring stress management through meditation or yoga may also aid recovery.
In consultation with a healthcare provider—especially if symptoms persist or worsen—please seek additional professional advice to tailor treatments to your specific condition and ensure safety. Avoid using these without guidance if other medications are being used as interactions can complicate conditions further. Balance and integration of therapies is key to effectively managing atopic dermatitis and improving skin health.
Taking Manjisthadi Kwath and Khadiraristha consistently for 6 months may be beneficial for managing your atopic dermatitis symptoms. In Siddha-Ayurvedic practices, atopic dermatitis is often associated with an imbalance in the Pitta and Kapha doshas, leading to excess heat and dampness contributing to skin conditions. Manjisthadi Kwath is particularly effective in purifying the blood and reducing inflammation, aiding in pacifying aggravated Pitta. Meanwhile, Khadiraristha is known for its cleansing properties that help in managing Kapha and supporting skin health.
However, it’s crucial to ensure you’re using them correctly. For Manjisthadi Kwath, typically you might take about 15-30 ml of the prepared decoction on an empty stomach in the morning and ideally again before dinner. Khadiraristha is often suggested at a dose of 15-20 ml, usually after meals, diluted with an equal amount of warm water. The timing and dosage should be tailored to your personal constitution (prakriti) and current health context.
Monitor your symptoms closely and adjust according to any changes in your condition. Including a Pitta-pacifying diet, which means avoiding spicy, oily, and fermented foods, can also complement the herbal regimen. Instead, include cooling, sweet foods, and hydrate well. Since the condition involves your entire body, consider using medicated oil massages or herbal pastes with cooling properties like Sandalwood or Aloe Vera.
Since atopic dermatitis can require precise management, it’s advisable to consult with a Siddha-Ayurvedic practitioner periodically through your treatment course to ensure balanced dosha management. If you experience any worsening of symptoms or side effects, keep regular contact with a healthcare professional who understands your full medical history and ongoing treatments.
HELLO ADITYA,
Atopic dermatitis is a chronic relapsing inflammatory skin disorder that causes redness, dryness, intense itching, and scaling. In Ayurveda, it closely resembles “Vicharchika”, which is a type of kustha (skin disease)
In Ayurveda , your body is governed by three doshas- vata, pitta, and kapha
When these become imbalanced, disease develops
IN VICHARCHIKA, -Pitta causes inflammation, redness, and burning -Kapha causes oozing, thick skin, and itching -Vata causes dryness and cracks -Rakta dhatu (blood) becomes impure due to these imbalances and ama (toxins)
This combination leads to -kandu (itching) + Pidaka (eruptions) + Shyama varna (dark discoloration)- classical symptoms of vicharchika
TREATMENT GOALS -eliminate toxins and purify blood -balance pitta and kapha doshas -improve digestion and metabolism -rejuvenate skin and immunity - prevent recurrence through lifestyle and diet
