Khadirarishta
Khadirarishta, also known as Khadirarisht, is a polyherbal ayurvedic formulation. It is used in the treatment of various skin conditions[1]. It also helps provide relief from conditions like an infestation of intestinal worms, eczema, and psoriasis[2].
Khadirarishta is a rich source of powerful anti-oxidant that destroys free radicals and flushes out toxin waste from the body[1]. Khadirarishta also helps treat some allergic reactions of the skin caused due to exposure to dust and similar allergens.
Khadiraristha has Shothahara (anti-inflammatory) and Shodhan (detoxification) properties, which help purify the blood and reduce various skin problems. It may also help reduce scars, blemishes, and dark spots. According to Ayurveda, it also has Krimighna (anti-worm) property which works to destroy the ideal condition for the growth of worms. This helps to get rid of symptoms of worms infestation.
Khadirarishta is also found to be effective in vitiligo without showing any adverse effect on the body on any system or organ[3].
Khadirarishta is a relatively safe and effective medication. But very large doses may
cause some side effects in the long run. Therefore, it is advised to consult an Ayurvedic practitioner before using Khadiraristha.

Benefits of Khadirarishta
1.Acne or pimples
Acne is a common skin condition. It causes pimples that develop deep in the skin, causing red, swollen, and painful bumps. According to Ayurveda, a Kapha-Pittaj skin type is generally more vulnerable to acne. Aggravation of Kapha leads to increased production of sebum and clogged pores. This results in the formation of both white and blackheads. Similarly, aggravation of Pitta is marked by the appearance of some red papules (bumps) and inflammation with pus.
Khadirarishta is one of the most effective Ayurvedic preparations which help to manage acne or pimples due to its Pitta and Kapha balancing, and Shothahara (anti-inflammatory) properties. It also helps in blood purification by removing toxins due to its Shodhan (detoxification) property.
