Detailed Ingredient Information

• Shalmali Kantaka/Twak (Salmalia malabarica): The 250gm pack contains 100% pure, finely ground powder of the thorns or bark of the Shalmali tree.

• Active Constituents: It contains high concentrations of tannins, gallic acid, and lupeol, which contribute to its anti-inflammatory, antimicrobial, and styptic (blood-stopping) actions.

• Ayurvedic Properties: It is characterized by a Kashaya Rasa (astringent taste), Sheeta Virya (cool potency), and Laghu-Ruksha Guna (light and dry qualities), making it ideal for pacifying Pitta and Kapha doshas.

Key Therapeutic Benefits

• Acne and Pimple Treatment: This is the most popular use; when applied as a paste, it dries up active acne, reduces redness, and prevents the formation of scars.

• Hemostatic Action: Effectively stops bleeding, making it useful internally for managing bleeding piles, epistaxis (nosebleeds), and menorrhagia (heavy periods).

• Skin Complexion: Helps in fading dark spots, blemishes, and pigmentation, leading to an even skin tone and improved texture.

• Management of Diarrhea: Its astringent properties help to thicken the stool and soothe the inflamed intestinal mucosa in cases of dysentery and diarrhea.

• Reproductive Tonic: Traditionally used to improve sperm count and quality in men, and to strengthen the uterine lining in women.

• Anti-inflammatory: Helps in reducing swelling and heat in the body, providing relief from internal burning sensations.

Precautions

• External Application: When used for acne, mix with milk (for dry skin) or rose water (for oily skin). Always perform a patch test on the inner arm first.

• Constipation: Because it is highly astringent, excessive internal consumption may lead to constipation; ensure adequate fiber and water intake.

• Dosage: For internal use, the standard dose is 3 to 6 grams twice daily, usually taken with milk or lukewarm water.

• Pregnancy: It is generally recommended to consult an Ayurvedic physician before taking this herb internally during pregnancy or lactation.
