Marham quba 50gm Hamdard Laboratories

Hamdard Marham Quba (50gm) is a classical Unani medicated ointment specifically formulated for the topical treatment of various fungal and inflammatory skin conditions.

The term “Quba” in Unani medicine refers to Ringworm (Tinea), and this “Marham” (ointment) is designed to act as a potent antifungal, antipruritic, and skin-healing agent.

By combining traditional mineral and herbal ingredients in a protective base, it helps in penetrating the skin layers to eliminate the root cause of infections while providing relief from the intense itching and redness associated with chronic skin ailments.

Detailed Ingredient Information

• Sindoof (Red Lead/Minium): A purified mineral ingredient traditionally used in Unani ointments for its powerful drying and antimicrobial properties on stubborn skin lesions.

• Sabun (Soap base): Acts as a cleansing agent that helps in softening the affected skin area and facilitating the penetration of active ingredients.

• Chuna (Slaked Lime/Calcium Hydroxide): Provides an alkaline environment that is unfavorable for fungal growth and helps in the descaling of dry, crusty skin patches.

• Roghan Sarshaf (Mustard Oil): Serves as a potent antifungal and antibacterial vehicle that nourishes the skin while fighting infection.

• Mom Safaid (White Beeswax): Provides the necessary consistency to the ointment, creating a protective barrier over the wound or infection to prevent environmental contamination.

Key Therapeutic Benefits

• Treats Ringworm (Quba): Effectively eliminates fungal pathogens responsible for circular, itchy patches on the skin.

• Relieves Intense Itching: Acts as an antipruritic agent to soothe the “Hikka” (itching) and burning sensation common in skin infections.

• Manages Eczema and Psoriasis: Helps in reducing the inflammation, scaling, and redness associated with chronic dry skin conditions.

• Antifungal Action: Specifically targets various Tinea infections (Athlete’s foot, Jock itch) by inhibiting the spread of fungal spores.

• Promotes Skin Healing: Assists in the regeneration of healthy skin tissues once the infection is controlled, reducing the appearance of scars.

• Antiseptic Protection: Prevents secondary bacterial infections from developing in areas where the skin has been broken due to constant scratching.

Precautions

• External Use Only: This preparation is strictly for topical application; it must never be ingested.

• Sensitive Areas: Avoid application on highly sensitive areas, open deep wounds, or near the eyes and mucous membranes.

• Skin Sensitivity Test: Perform a small patch test on the inner forearm before full application to ensure no allergic reaction to the mineral components.

• Staining: Due to the presence of Sindoof (Red Lead), the ointment may stain clothing; it is advisable to cover the area with a light bandage if necessary.

• Professional Guidance: For chronic or widespread skin infections, consult a Unani or Ayurvedic physician for a comprehensive treatment plan.
