Benefits of using Nalangu Maavu Herbal Bath Powder:

• Turmeric scientifically called Curcuma longa works wonders for inflammation – given that is has been used as a powerful anti-inflammatory agent both in Indian and Chinese medicine for thousands of years. Turmeric contains curcuminoid pigments that turn on the genes that enhance the body’s synthesis of antioxidants. This protects the cells of the skin from free radical damage and even slows down the formation of fine lines and wrinkles.

How to use Nalangu Maavu Herbal Bath Powder?

Before using this powder please do a Patch Test to make sure the ingredients are not causing any allergy to your skin. Allergy to the product is rare but better be safe than sorry. It takes nearly 15 minutes to dry completely after which I suggest scrubbing it gently with a little water to exfoliate the skin and then, finally rinsing it off with adequate water.

To use as a daily bath powder:

• Take the required amount of Nalangu Maavu Herbal Bath Powder and mix some water in it to make a paste. Apply it all over the body and leave for 5 minutes and then rinse it off with water. Or you can even use it as a dry scrub by simply scrubbing the skin with Nalangu Maavu Herbal Bath Powder and then washing it off with water.

To use it as a face wash:

Things to remember while making Nalangu Maavu Herbal Bath Powder:

• If you are allergic to any of the ingredients you can avoid it while preparing Nalangu Maavu Herbal Bath Powder.
• Try to make it during summer, as it will ensure thorough drying of the ingredients. If you powder it using a mixer at home make sure the jar is washed well and dried completely as it shouldn’t have even a tinge of spiciness and moisture. Spiciness can irritate the skin and moisture can spoil the powder.
• I usually prepare Nalangu Maavu Herbal Bath Powder in large quantity and store it in airtight containers and use it for a year.

For Daily Use:

• You can make a huge batch of this herbal powder and store it for up to a year. You can transfer a small quantity of it to a container /bottle for daily use and keep the rest airtight in another container.

This is the traditional Nalangu Maavu Herbal Bath Powder recipe. If used regularly you can definitely see the difference. It is high time you say bye-bye to your chemical bar and opt for herbal products to keep skin diseases at bay. You get a slight cooling sensation as you apply it to your body.

At first, if you are switching over from a chemical-laden body wash/soap, you might feel that it is not doing anything substantial but hey, make it a part of a daily bathing ritual. You will surely be able to differentiate over by the positive turn of events.
