SKM Manjisthadi Kashayam is an Ayurvedic formulation designed primarily as a blood purifier that helps manage skin disorders and systemic inflammatory conditions. The key ingredient Manjistha (Rubia cordifolia) is widely recognized for its potent antioxidant, anti-inflammatory, and antimicrobial properties. It supports the clearance of toxins from the blood and improves skin complexion by balancing aggravated Pitta and Kapha doshas.
Other herbs commonly included in this formulation contribute to enhancing digestive fire (Agni), promoting metabolism, and further detoxifying the body. Research indicates that Manjistha exhibits immunomodulatory and wound-healing properties, making the kashayam useful in managing chronic skin conditions like eczema, psoriasis, and acne. This decoction also supports liver function and overall metabolic balance.
