Multani Mitti (Bentonite Clay or Fullers Earth)

Multani Mitti, commonly known as “Fuller’s earth” is a nature’s gift for skin and hair. It is white to yellowish in color, odorless and tasteless. It is a natural solution for acne, scars, oily and dull skin.

BENEFITS OF MULTANI MITTI

1. Reduce oiliness
Multani mitti helps to reduce excessive oiliness and balance the pH level due to its Ruksa (dry) and Sita (cold) properties.

2. Acne and acne scar
In Ayurveda, an aggravated Pitta is the main reason behind acne. Multani mitti helps to balance aggravated Pitta and reduce excessive oiliness due to its Sita (cold) and Ruksa (dry) properties. Multani mitti also helps reduce acne scar due to its Ropan (healing) property.

3. Hyperpigmentation
Hyper pigmentation is caused by an aggravated Pitta in the body and when the skin is exposed to heat or the sun. Multani mitti helps in reducing tanning and pigmentation due to its Ropan (healing) and Sita (cold) nature.

4. Hair Loss
Hair loss occurs when there is an imbalance of Vata and Pitta dosha. Multani mitti might help balance both the doshas and control hair loss due to its Ropan (healing) and Sita (cold) properties.
