Hlo,
Yes, they are often prescribed together in Ayurveda for:- firstly confirm age …
Acne (yauvan pidika) Pigmentation / dark spots Blood purification and skin inflammation
They work synergistically: - Mahamanjishtadi Kwath → purifies blood, reduces inflammation, helps pigmentation - Khadirarishta → helps acne, itching, bacterial component, and skin allergies About mixing & water These medicines are not mixed together in the same cup They are usually taken separately, each diluted with water
Typical adult method (general practice): - Mahamanjishtadi Kwath → diluted with equal quantity of warm water - Khadirarishta → diluted with equal quantity of water ❗ They are NOT taken “equally mixed together” as one combined dose. ⚠️ Very important question before dosage advice
👉 How old is your son? This matters because: - Khadirarishta contains self-generated alcohol - Dosage and even suitability change for children vs teenagers vs adults
If he is: Under 12 years → special caution needed 13–18 years → lower doses Above 18 years → adult dose may be considered Additional advice for better results
Along with medicines, acne & pigmentation improve much faster if: Avoid oily, spicy, fried, junk food Reduce chocolate, bakery items, cold drinks Ensure regular bowel movement Wash face with a mild herbal cleanser, not harsh soaps Avoid squeezing pimples

Yes both Mahamanjistadi Kwath and Khadirarishta can be taken together for acne and pigmentation if used properly and in the right dose they actually complement each other very well for skin purification and blood cleansing
Mahamanjistadi Kwath works more on reducing inflammation heat and pigmentation from inside while Khadirarishta helps in correcting recurrent acne controlling oiliness itching and supporting long term skin healing
For a teenage child the usual safe method is to take them separately but in the same time period rather than mixing them together in one glass
Mahamanjistadi Kwath 10 ml kwath mixed with equal quantity of warm water To be taken twice daily after food
Khadirarishta 10 ml mixed with equal quantity of water To be taken twice daily after food
Avoid giving Khadirarishta on an empty stomach as it may cause acidity
Also acne and pigmentation in children are very commonly linked to digestion hormonal changes and heat inside the body so medicines need at least 6 to 8 weeks for visible improvement
If acne is severe painful or leaving marks then a local application and mild internal correction may also be required based on the child age weight and digestion
The usual practice is to take them separately, at different times of the day: - Mahamajishtadi Kwath: 20–30 ml, twice daily, after meals, diluted with equal water. - Khadirarishta: 15–20 ml, twice daily, after meals, diluted with equal water.
🌱 Supportive Tips for Acne & Pigmentation - Diet: Avoid fried, spicy, and junk foods. Favor green leafy vegetables, bitter foods (karela, methi), and fruits like papaya and guava. - Lifestyle: Encourage hydration, regular sleep, and stress management. - External care: Neem face wash, sandalwood paste, or turmeric + aloe vera gel can soothe acne.
