Description
Manjistha (Rubia cordifolia) is a perennial climber that is perhaps best known as a lymph mover and blood purifier. According to Ayurveda, the lymph and blood are the first tissues to become congested when the body is not detoxifing properly, and subsequently have a domino effect through the other five tissues of the body unless addressed properly in these early stages.Manjistha powder Rubia cordifolia manjistha root powder
This model of the body tissues in succession makes it clear why Ayurveda places such great importance on keeping the lymph flowing at a good clip. The lymph is the seat of the immune system, and has a profound influence on the healthful appearance and function of the skin as the body’s largest detoxifying organ.
