Benefits for Skin:
Padmaka is helpful in treating skin disorders and excessive sweating, as it has cold potency and astringent taste.
Padmaka contains prunetin, which fights both gram-positive and gram-negative bacteria, so it is effective in treating skin infections as well as acne.
Padmaka is also beneficial in fungal infections and wound healing.
Risks and side effects:
Padmaka has no or very few side effects when applied externally, so it may be applied to the skin without hesitation in the recommended dose.
When taken internally padmaka is rarely associated with side effects such as fever and diarrhea.
Face packs:
Mix padmaka bark powder, licorice root powder, honey and apply to dry and clogged pores to moisturize the skin.
If you apply powdered padmaka bark and rose water at night for 15-20 minutes, it will prevent skin problems caused by pollution.
Padmaka powder, almond oil, and honey are applied to sun-tanned skin to reduce tanning.
For summer skincare, padmaka powder and Multani mitti with rose water are applied to reduce oil secretions.
