Mechanism of Action

According to ayurveda, it generally works in diseases occur due to dominance of VATA, KAPHA or AMA conditions. The mechanism of action includes:

  1. It reduces Ama by digesting it and eliminating it. It also stops production of the toxins and their accumulation in the intestines. Hence, it reduces toxins absorption into the blood. Through this mechanism, it prevents diseases, which occur due to toxins absorption into the blood.
  2. The second mechanism is that it directly works on the blood, detoxifies it, digests AMA present in the blood, and helps kidneys to excrete toxins.
  3. Third main action is its antipruritic property, which might be due to antihistamine action of some ingredients present in it.

Therapeutic Indications

Khadirarishta is mainly used for skin diseases and blood disorders. It is useful on main symptoms like itching, rashes and sensitive skin. Some of its important indications are listed below:

  1. Acne/Pimples
  2. Atopic Dermatitis (Eczema)

  4. Leprosy

 Acne/Pimples

Khadirarishta is mainly effective in acne with white or pus-filled lumps, cystic lesions, closed and open plugged pores (whiteheads and blackheads). It is less likely to be helpful in acne with tender and red bumps. In such cases, Gandhak Rasayan and Saribadyasavam are better options.

Khadirarishta is likely to stops bacteria growth in acne and enhances healing. The regular use purifies blood, reduces toxins production and inhibits bacterial growth, which ultimately prevents acne. It may also have effect on oil production. Excess oil production indicates excess KAPHA according to ayurveda. Khadirarishta reduces KAPHA and ultimately reduces oil production. Active constituents of Babchi (Psoralea Corylifolia) and Devdaru (Cedrus Deodara) present in Khadirarishta release out through the skin, which may prevent clogging of the pores.
