HEALTHY BLOOD, VIBRANT SKIN
According to Ayurveda, a key component to maintaining healthy skin is regular, healthy removal of toxins from the body. It is not uncommon for improperly digested food, cellular waste, and other toxins to accumulate in the blood, eventually finding release through the skin and causing skin imbalances. The journey to a clear complexion begins by cleansing from within.*

CLEARING PITTA FROM WITHIN
Manjistha is the quintessential blood cleanser in the Ayurvedic pharmacopoeia. Cooling and purifying in nature, it helps to remove excess pitta and natural toxins from the blood while encouraging healthy skin and a clear complexion. It may be used by those with pitta constitutions or anyone experiencing a pitta imbalance.*

Manjistha powder has been incredibly beneficial as part of my Ayurvedic protocol to support blood and skin cleansing, especially now that the weather is getting warmer and my pitta tends to become imbalanced. It's been wonderful.
*Note:* I've only used it under the guidance and supervision of an Ayurvedic practitioner. I always recommend consulting a qualified practitioner before taking any herbal supplements.
I noticed a difference within two days of starting to use Manjista. Less toxic feeling, more energy. It does hype one up a bit so I don't take every day, but certainly makes a noticeable difference in my life. I just stir into water and drink. Not bad taste at all. I highly recommend this.
its very good quality, fresh active, Its perfect for me thanks
Been taking this for a week and don't notice anything. I don't think it works. hmm.
Hi Regina. We generally suggest that you give Ayurvedic herbs the benefit of at least 4-6 weeks, before assessing how they are working within your body. We encourage you to continue working with Manjistha for your health goal and reassess closer to that time frame.
I was wondering if I could combine the Hibiscus powder and the Manjistha powder into one drink?
Thank you for your question, Hermelinda! Yes, in general, herbs work very well together. If you are introducing more than one herbal supplement into your routine, we recommend introducing one at a time and watching how your body responds. Starting on the lower end of our recommended dosage provided on the label and slowly working your way up in dosage as needed is a wonderful way to explore your body's unique response. Please keep in mind that we are not practitioners here at Banyan, and we recommend working with one if you are experiencing a medical condition or taking medications. If you have any other questions or need further support, please reach out to us at 800.953.6424 or email info@banyanbotanicals.com. Be well!
I bought Manjistha to put on my face. I mixed it with a little greek yogurt. I have applied it for 7 days now and left it on about an hour. I am so amazed at the results that I had to get back with you and write a review .
Thankyou for this wonderful product.

all your product r good but one suggestion is that please, provide free shipping on every purchase or give some discount for your customer

Including shipping costs, buying yellow Mung Beans from Banyan is still less expensive than purchasing locally. Very satisfied with their service.
I buy this product by the pound rather than in bulk of 5 lbs because it is easier to measure. The product is very helpful at cleaning smooth muscles! I add minerals to help stabilize the gut. When working with large amounts of powder and transferring, etc, I recommend doing it outside! It creates a big cloud of red dust and doesn’t come out (easily) of my white carpet. :) Mimi
I did not noitce any changes until about 10 days into drinking the teas...subtle changes feeling better over all

I use it to lift toxins from smooth muscles like small intestines and lymph.
This is a good quality.
It does stain and so I buy it in 1 pound bags and mix in my other ingredients.
It works well.
I take it regularly and it is very helpful to keep the spleen moving.
I learnt about manjishta last year and I must say it has done wonders to my skin. I don't take it continuously. But I take it whenever my skin is messy and see a change within a week which is magical. I use it topically and orally too. But drinking it by mixing with water is more effective. Will always have this herb in hand
After reading websites on the process of producing manjistha I opted for Bunyan Brand. Great quality and I will purchase again. I put mine in capsules and saved! Get your MANJISTHA today!
Hi Kate! Thanks so much for your sweet review. We’re thrilled you love Banyan’s Manjistha and the value. Looking forward to serving you again!
It tastes ok, but I have not experienced any change in lymphatic build up
Hi Rebecca, thank you for taking the time to comment. More obvious changes can take four to six weeks to notice. Here is a [link](https://www.banyanbotanicals.com/info/ayurvedic-living/living-ayurveda/taking-your-herbs/ayurvedas-carrier-substances/) to an article about taking herbs with a carrier to target specific tissues that we hope you find helpful.
Why is manjistha spelled without the "h" on the package I just received? Is it something different?
Manjista is also commonly spelled "Manjistha". They are the same herb, the difference in spelling is a result of different transliterations. The best way to verify the identity of an herb is by it's botanical name: Rubia cordifolia
How many mg in 1/4 tsp? Your tabs are listed as having 500mg per tab.
In general, one half teaspoon of an herb is approximately equal to two tablets and one quarter teaspoon is roughly equal to one tablet. Please keep in mind that this is only an estimate. Herbs vary in density so if you need an exact conversion we advise using a scale for more accuracy.
Can i take GUDUCHI and MANJISTHA MIX.
Thank you for your question, Kanwaljit! In general, herbs work very well together. If you are introducing more than one herbal supplement into your routine, we recommend introducing one at a time and watching how your body responds. Starting on the lower end of our recommended dosage provided on the label and slowly working your way up in dosage as needed is a wonderful way to explore your body's unique response. Please keep in mind that we are not practitioners here at Banyan, and we recommend working with one if you are experiencing a medical condition or taking medications.
Thank you for this amazing product. Is it ok to mix the powder into my Licorice tea and a couple drops of Cayenne Pepper tincture?
You are most welcome, Jeff and thank you for this great question! The most common way to prepare our powdered herbs is to use one serving size in a cup of hot water, allowing it to steep until the powder settles, then drink. We don't see any issue with adding the herb to a carrier substance to better support you and your body. An anupan, or carrier substance, is a substance that is either mixed with or taken alongside an herb or formula with the idea that it will serve as a messenger, a catalyst, or a moderator for the herbs. Common Ayurvedic anupans include water, ghee, honey, milk, and aloe vera juice or gel. For more information, please check out this wonderfully informative article https://www.banyanbotanicals.com/info/ayurvedic-living/living-ayurveda/taking-your-herbs/ayurvedas-carrier-substances/
Can this herb also be taken by Vata type constitution people?
I would like to try this for detox for in the last couple of years I've been experienced some dizziness spells a week or two before my period, adult acne and overall bloating indigestion... however, it seems Vata people (what my test results said) need warming up and this product is cooling?...
As we are not practitioners, we always recommend that you work with a qualified, Ayurvedic or healthcare practitioner, to help determine the best course of action for you.
Our Manjistha is a powerful blood cleansing herb that helps to move the lymph, as well as support the proper function of the liver and kidneys. While it's virya (action) is cooling, it is balancing for all doshas and may aggravate vata, only in excess.
Generally speaking, it is fine to take Manjistha, if you have a vata constitution. We suggest staying within the suggested use, as you balance the energetics of this herbal supplement with vata-appropriate, dietary and lifestyle choices that support your daily routine.
