CARMEL ORGANICS Manjistha Root/Indian Madder Powder (8 Ounce), Natural dye and Hair Color | Ayurvedic Herb for Skin and Health, No Added Preservative or Additives, Non-GMO

I ordered this along with many other seeds and powders to support my Ayurvedic approach to a digestive re-set. This powder was one recommended for support with lymphatic drainage and I add it to the daily tea I brew each morning. The color is absolutely beautiful - a deep burgundy. The packaging came quite flat and I like that it's minimal packaging, but feels very high quality. The powder is housed in a matte paper type bag that is also very flat and I like that. There was a nice additional inclusion in the package for me to try which I appreciate as it's definitely a "value-add" approach. I won't spoil what it was in case it changes or they stop this approach. I haven't used this before and I've only just begun, but so far, it's a 5-star experience and I expect that to continue.

I ordered the manjistha powder. I made a clay mask for my face with it & some aloe Vera leaf powder & water. It was excellent. I used so little, I look forward to it again. After a thorough gentle gel cleanse followed by a good quality scrub, steam & clay mask, my skin felt very clean and smooth and any pain from blemishes ceased immediately (That’s 1 of my fave benefits of the manjistha powder, it’s simple to mix & it’s a beautiful color. The complimentary tea bags with my purchase is lovely, I’m interested in checking out more tea from this company for its delicious. Thank you.

I use it for making a red dye, it works good for that. It makes a strong red dye.

I use this as a facial mask. It works wonders.

I bought this from Amazon Haul. I use the "Haul" a lot. They have really nice values there. When I received it, I was just about to use Henna to dye my hair. I've been using it for year to cover my grey. I'm avoiding chemical dyes. To my surprise, Manjistha Powder was just what I was needing to tone down the "Henna Red" issue. It turn the final color down to an really nice Warm Auburn. You can also use it in baking for frosting or even dying Easter eggs! Wow! I really got more than I bargained for.

This really is good, potent stuff. Definitely works if you want to dye a fabric red. But I made the 1st mistake of not adding milk/yogurt to the powder for making face-pack out of it. And then 2nd stupid mistake of not testing it on my wrist before painting my face with it. Whoa! I ended up with a RED face! Good thing I work from home, otherwise they'd think I was in some "solar accident" LOL. Anyway, I had to rub on some lemon juice to lighten it up-EEKS! But then it naturally faded away in two days. So, do beware... this Manjistha is THAT GOOD!

Bought for natural dying, works a charm.

I got this for dyeing fabric & yarn. I used linen and wool fabric, and wool and silk yarn and thread. I got the most glorious shade of red orange on the wool fabric. I got kind of a pinky red on the linen fabric and got various shades of red and orange on the wool and silk. I understood this is not what the product advertised but it worked really well!
