Gandhak Malam - #4789
For the past few weeks, I’ve been dealing with recurring skin issues like rashes and itching, especially in humid weather. A friend recommended Gandhak Malam as a potential solution for my skin problems. I’d like to understand more about Gandhak Malam and whether it’s effective for treating conditions like mine. From what I know, Gandhak Malam is a sulfur-based Ayurvedic ointment used for various skin conditions. Are Gandhak Malam’s benefits primarily antibacterial and antifungal, or does it also help with reducing inflammation and soothing irritation? I’ve also heard that Gandhak Malam works for eczema and psoriasis – is this true? Another question I have is about how to apply Gandhak Malam. Should it be used once or multiple times a day, and are there any precautions to follow, like avoiding sunlight or using it only on clean skin? I’m also curious if Gandhak Malam can be combined with other Ayurvedic remedies for faster results. If anyone has used Gandhak Malam, how effective was it for your skin issues? Did you notice any side effects, such as dryness or redness? Lastly, is Gandhak Malam safe for long-term use, or should it be used only for short periods?
