Kasturi Manjal Powder – Wild Turmeric for Natural Beauty Care
Botanical Name: Curcuma aromatica
Also Known As: Wild Turmeric, Kasturi Haldi, Kasthuri Manjal
Our Kasturi Manjal Powder is made from premium-quality wild turmeric roots, traditionally valued in Ayurveda for external beauty care. Naturally aromatic and non-staining, it has been cherished for centuries as part of pre-bridal skin rituals, festive preparations, and everyday skincare routines.
Ayurvedic Tradition
In Ayurveda, Kasturi Manjal is known for its Ushna (warming) and Tikta-Katu (bitter-pungent) properties. It is traditionally used externally in face masks, body scrubs, and skin-cleansing pastes to promote a natural glow. Unlike regular turmeric, it is not typically used for cooking, making it ideal for cosmetic purposes.
Ayurvedic Properties and Usage
In Ayurveda, Kasturi Manjal is classified as Tikta (bitter) and Katu (pungent) in taste, with Laghu (light) and Ruksha (dry) qualities. It is believed to have Ushna Virya (hot potency) and a Katu Vipaka (pungent post-digestive effect). It is known for its Kapha-Vata shamak properties (alleviates Kapha and Vata doshas) and is typically not used internally due to its potency and potential to aggravate Pitta.
Its primary actions include:
- Kusthaghna – treats skin disorders
- Krimighna – antiparasitic and antimicrobial
- Varnya – improves complexion
- Tvachya – nourishes the skin
- Shothahara – anti-inflammatory
Common Uses
- Face Masks: Mix with rose water, milk, or aloe vera gel for a refreshing skin pack.
- Body Ubtan: Blend with chickpea flour and water for a gentle exfoliating scrub.
- Aromatic Bath Powder: Add to your bath blend for a naturally uplifting scent.
- Pre-Wedding Rituals: Often included in haldi ceremonies to prepare skin before special occasions.
