Organically grown Manjistha Powder from Rubia Cordifolia (Madder Root), is a potent antioxidant, anti-inflammatory and anti-microbial with the power to help relieve allergies and skin-related conditions. Manjistha is best known for being a blood purifier but is extremely beneficial to skin and hair.

Manjistha is a natural astringent and complexion enhancer waiting to rejuvenate your skin. Suffering from sallow skin this would be the ideal tonic to bring skin alive.

Manjistha’s anti-inflammatory and anti-microbial properties helps to relieve and calm skin eruptions such as eczema and most irritable skin problems.

HAIR:  Manjistha comes from a reddish root vine known as madder root which contains a red pigment used for dyeing and can be used with henna to give red tones. Manjistha powder has a more potent red stain that hibiscus and beetroot. It will stain red and you will notice it even on black hair but this is semi-permanent.

For a red hair dye combine henna and manjistha powder, make a manjistha tea to mix powders together and leave to develop. This will give gray hair a redder colour (as opposed to orange brown) which will in turn make it slightly quicker to obtain dark brown/black hair colour when Indigo is applied after.
