Chakramard

Question

Recently, I came across the term chakramard while looking for remedies for skin problems. It seems like chakramard is widely used in Ayurveda, but I’m not sure how effective it is or what specific conditions it treats. Is chakramard mainly used for skin issues, or does it have broader applications?

I’ve also read that chakramard is used for conditions like ringworm and fungal infections. How should it be applied—topically or internally? Are there any side effects or precautions when using chakramard?

If anyone has used chakramard for skin issues, I’d appreciate learning about your experience. Did it work quickly, and did you use it alongside other treatments?

Chakramard, also known as *Cassia tora* or *Tara Phul*, is widely used in Ayurveda for its therapeutic properties, particularly in treating skin conditions. It is considered effective for conditions like ringworm, fungal infections, eczema, and other skin ailments due to its antifungal, antibacterial, and anti-inflammatory properties. Chakramard is typically applied topically in the form of a paste or powder mixed with water or other herbal oils for skin infections. It can also be used internally, but this is usually done under the guidance of an Ayurvedic practitioner, especially for internal detoxification or to treat digestive issues. While it is generally safe, excessive or incorrect use may cause mild irritation or allergic reactions in some individuals, so a patch test is recommended before widespread use. Many people report positive results when using it, especially when combined with other Ayurvedic treatments, but the healing process varies depending on the condition and individual constitution. Always follow the correct dosage and application methods to avoid any adverse effects.
