200 ML · Liquid Decoction
A classical blood-purifying decoction traditionally used to support clear, healthy skin and joint comfort
Manjishtadi Kashayam is a classical Ayurvedic decoction named after its principal herb, Manjishta (Indian madder, Rubia cordifolia), long regarded in Ayurveda as one of the foremost herbs for cleansing the blood.

Traditionally, this blend is used to support clear and healthy skin, to help the body clear impurities from the blood tissue, and to keep the joints comfortable.

Ayurvedic Perspective
According to Ayurvedic principles, many skin and joint complaints arise when aggravated Pitta combines with impurities in the blood tissue (Rakta). Manjishta is the classical blood cleanser, and the bitter herbs Katuki, Neem and Guduchi cool excess Pitta and support the body's natural defences. Triphala gently clears the digestive tract, Haridra supports a healthy inflammatory response, and Vacha and Devadaru add warmth that keeps the channels open. Together they make a traditional choice for clear, comfortable skin.
