Baidyanath Khadirarishta (450ml) | Ayurvedic Tonic for Skin & Blood Purification

Khadirarishta is a classical Ayurvedic fermented tonic (arishta) traditionally used to support healthy skin and clean, healthy blood. Built around Khadira (Acacia catechu), it is traditionally valued for supporting the skin, helping with itchy, oozing skin tendencies, and purifying the blood, thanks to its bitter, astringent, cooling qualities. It is intended as supportive, traditional care for skin wellness, used under appropriate guidance.

• A classical Khadira-based fermented tonic for the skin
• Traditionally supports clear skin and blood purification
• Bitter, astringent, and cooling in nature

Khadirarishta is a fermented herbal tonic built around Khadira, with supporting aromatic herbs.

• Khadira (Acacia catechu): the principal herb, bitter and astringent, traditionally valued for the skin and blood
• Devadaru (Cedrus deodara) and Bakuchi (Psoralea corylifolia)
• Daruharidra (Berberis aristata)
• Aromatic spices such as Kankola, Nagakesara, nutmeg, clove, and tejpatra

As an arishta, it is a naturally fermented preparation that carries the herbs in an easily absorbed form.

Khadirarishta is traditionally used to support healthy skin by working from within. Khadira (Acacia catechu) is bitter, astringent, and cooling, traditionally used to purify the blood and support the skin, helping with the itching and oozing tendencies Ayurveda links to vitiated blood and Kapha. The aromatic supporting herbs aid circulation and help the active ingredients reach the tissues. By traditionally supporting blood purification and skin balance, it is used as supportive care for skin wellness, not as a treatment for any diagnosed skin disease.

The suggested use is about 4 spoonfuls (roughly 15 to 20 ml) twice daily, usually after food and often diluted with an equal amount of water, or as directed by your physician or Ayurvedic practitioner. A few pointers:

• Diluting with water is traditional and gentler on the stomach.
• Use it consistently, as skin support builds gradually.
• Shake gently before use, as natural sediment can settle.

This bottle contains 450ml. A practitioner can tailor the dose to your needs.

Khadirarishta is especially used where skin and blood are affected by aggravated Kapha and Pitta, the doshas Ayurveda links to oozing, itching, and heat in the skin, along with impure blood (rakta). Khadira's bitter, astringent, cooling, and drying qualities help pacify excess Kapha and Pitta, dry up oozing, and purify the blood, while reducing the heaviness and dampness behind congested skin. This makes it well suited to the Kapha-Pitta skin patterns it is traditionally used for.

Yes, as a traditional arishta it contains a small amount of naturally self-generated alcohol produced during fermentation, which is part of how the preparation works and is preserved. This is not added alcohol but a natural by-product of the classical process. Because of this, those who avoid alcohol entirely, pregnant or breastfeeding women, children, and anyone with a liver condition or in recovery from alcohol use should consult an Ayurvedic practitioner or doctor before use. Taking it diluted with water, in the recommended dose, is the traditional approach.

Note that this product is packaged in a plastic bottle.

Traditionally, Khadira-based preparations have been associated with supporting the skin and purifying the blood, which is why Khadirarishta is valued for skin wellness. However, conditions such as eczema, scabies, or ringworm are medical matters that need proper diagnosis and treatment, and Khadirarishta should be seen as supportive, traditional care used alongside, not instead of, a doctor's advice, and ideally under an Ayurvedic practitioner's guidance. Do not self-treat a persistent or worsening skin problem. It is not intended to diagnose, treat, cure, or prevent any disease.

Khadirarishta is a traditional fermented tonic, but a few cautions apply. Because it contains self-generated alcohol and jaggery, those who are pregnant or breastfeeding, managing diabetes, avoiding alcohol, or who have a liver condition should consult a practitioner first. Those on medication or managing a health condition should check with their physician. Take the recommended dose diluted with water rather than more, and shake before use. Seek medical care for persistent or worsening skin problems. It is not intended to diagnose, treat, cure, or prevent any disease.
