Nagarjuna kacchooraadi ( No 1) Choornam

Nagarjuna Kacchooraadi (No 1) Choornam is a classical Ayurvedic herbal powder built on Kachooram (Kachora/zedoary) for external use, applied to support clear, fragrant skin, the body's natural handling of skin concerns and a fresh, healthy complexion, and traditionally as a herbal body/bath powder. From Nagarjuna, a respected Kerala Ayurvedic house. For external use. Traditionally it is used to support:

• Clear, fragrant, healthy skin and a fresh complexion
• The body's natural handling of body odour, oiliness and minor skin concerns
• A traditional herbal cleansing-and-fragrance body powder (ubtan-style)

Kachooraadi is a classical group of aromatic, skin-supporting herbs led by Kachooram (Kachora, zedoary), traditionally valued for the skin and fragrance. Nagarjuna Kacchooraadi (No 1) Choornam is a herbal powder typically including:

• Kachooram (zedoary), the key aromatic skin herb
• Sandalwood, vetiver and other aromatic, skin-supporting herbs
• Supporting fragrant botanicals

Together these aromatic, skin-supporting herbs are traditionally valued as a herbal body/bath powder for fresh, fragrant, healthy skin, in the tradition of herbal ubtans and bath powders.

Supporting fresh, fragrant, healthy skin is exactly what Kacchooraadi Choornam is most valued for. Used externally as advised, its aromatic, skin-supporting herbs are traditionally used to support clear, fragrant, healthy skin and a fresh complexion, support the body's natural handling of body odour, oiliness and minor skin concerns and serve as a traditional herbal cleansing-and-fragrance body powder. It offers gentle external skin care; persistent or severe skin problems, a spreading rash, infection or any skin condition should be assessed by a doctor or dermatologist, with the powder used as part of traditional skin care, not as a treatment for any condition.

Kacchooraadi Choornam is used externally as a herbal body/bath powder. A common way to use it:

1. Mix the powder with a little water, milk or rosewater into a paste (or use as a dusting powder, as advised).
2. Apply it to the skin, gently rub, and leave it briefly.
3. Rinse off in the bath, or dust on as a fragrant body powder, as advised. Use a few times a week or as directed.

For external use only; avoid the eyes, and do a patch test first if your skin is sensitive. Follow the specific directions on the pack, since traditional powders can be used in different ways.

Kacchooraadi Choornam works through aromatic, skin-supporting herbs applied to the skin. In Ayurveda, dullness, oiliness and body odour are linked to aggravated Kapha and Pitta and impurities on the skin, and Kachooram, sandalwood and the aromatic herbs gently cleanse and exfoliate the skin, lend a natural fragrance that helps with body odour, support a clear complexion and soothe and care for the skin, in the tradition of herbal ubtans. As the skin is cleansed, freshened and cared for, a fresh, fragrant complexion is traditionally supported. This cleansing, aromatic, skin-supporting action is why traditional herbal body powders are treasured, used as external care.

For the skin, Kacchooraadi Choornam mainly settles aggravated Kapha (oiliness, dullness and body odour) and Pitta (heat and minor irritation), with its aromatic, cleansing herbs, while being gentle on the skin. Dullness, oiliness and odour are classically linked to aggravated Kapha and Pitta and surface impurities, which the cleansing, aromatic herbs settle. By gently cleansing, freshening and supporting a clear complexion, it supports fresh, comfortable, fragrant skin. This makes it well suited to oily, odour-prone and dull-skin tendencies, used as part of traditional herbal skin care.

Nagarjuna Kacchooraadi (No 1) Choornam is best thought of as a traditional herbal body/bath powder for external skin care and fragrance, in the tradition of herbal ubtans, rather than an internal medicine. It is used to cleanse, freshen and care for the skin and to help with body odour, as part of everyday skin care. It is a cosmetic-style external preparation, not a treatment for acne, eczema or any skin condition, which should be assessed by a dermatologist. Follow the pack directions, do a patch test first, and use it externally only. A practitioner can advise. You can buy it from AyurvedaBay.com, with worldwide shipping.

Nagarjuna Kacchooraadi Choornam is generally very safe as an external herbal powder when used as directed, but a few precautions apply:

• For external use only; avoid the eyes (rinse with water if it gets in), and do not swallow it.
• Do a patch test first if your skin is sensitive or allergy-prone, and stop if irritation occurs.
• It is cosmetic skin care; persistent or severe skin problems, a spreading rash or any skin condition should be assessed by a doctor or dermatologist.
• Keep out of reach of children, and follow the pack directions for use.

It is supportive care and is not intended to diagnose, treat or cure any disease.
