Kala malam 25gm krishna gopal ayurved bhavan

Kala Malam 25gm, manufactured by Krishna Gopal Ayurved Bhavan (Kaleda), is a traditional Ayurvedic topical ointment primarily used for treating a variety of stubborn skin infections and inflammatory conditions.

It is formulated to act as a potent antifungal, antibacterial, and anti-inflammatory agent, making it a staple for addressing chronic skin issues that do not respond to milder treatments.

Detailed Ingredient Information

The formulation relies on a combination of purified minerals and herbs known for their “Krimighna” (microbe-destroying) properties:

• Shuddha Gandhak (Purified Sulphur): A cornerstone of Ayurvedic dermatology, providing powerful antifungal and antibacterial action.

• Shuddha Parada (Purified Mercury): Used in the form of Kajjali to treat deep-seated skin infections and chronic lesions.

• Siktha (Beeswax): Acts as the base, providing a protective barrier and ensuring the active ingredients remain in contact with the skin.

• Karpoor (Camphor): Added for its cooling effect, which helps to alleviate the itching and burning sensation often associated with skin infections.

• Mineral Salts: May include traces of other purified minerals like Tuttha (Copper Sulphate) or Yashad Bhasma (Zinc Calx) to assist in drying out oozing wounds and promoting healing.

Key Therapeutic Benefits

• Fungal Infections: Highly effective in treating ringworm (Dadru), Tinea infections, and fungal growth between the toes or skin folds.

• Chronic Eczema: Helps in reducing the thickness of the skin, scaling, and the intense itching associated with dry or weeping eczema.

• Scabies & Rashes: Used to treat parasitic skin infestations like scabies and various types of allergic or infectious rashes.

• Boils & Abscesses: Its antimicrobial properties help in suppressing the growth of boils and promoting the drainage of pus from infected areas.

• Psoriasis Support: Helps in managing the localized plaques of psoriasis by softening the skin and reducing inflammation.

Precautions

• External Use Only: This is a potent mineral-based ointment and must never be swallowed or applied to internal mucous membranes.

• Patch Test: Due to the presence of Sulphur and Mercury, it may cause irritation on sensitive skin. Always test on a small area first.

• Avoid Open Wounds: Do not apply on fresh, bleeding cuts or highly sensitive areas like the eyes or mouth.

• Staining: Because it is a “Kala” (black) ointment, it may stain clothes or bedding; it is recommended to cover the treated area with a light bandage.

• Medical Guidance: Patients with severe skin allergies or those who are pregnant should consult an Ayurvedic physician before use.
