What is Palash? (Butea Monosperma) — The Ayurvedic Skin-Healer
Palash, or Dhak/Tesu, is a flowering tree native to India and widely used in Ayurvedic skincare and medicine. Ancient texts like Charaka Samhita and Ashtang Hridaya describe it as rakta shodhak (blood purifier), sheetala (cooling), and krimighna (anti-microbial) — making it effective in treating various skin diseases (kushta rog) and promoting natural skin healing.
Palash is not just a herb — it’s a cultural and spiritual symbol used in Holi colors, sacred rituals, and herbal formulations. Its flowers, leaves, and seeds are rich in skin-repairing phytochemicals that work deep within the layers of your skin.
Benefits of Palash Flower for Skin Health
If you're searching for a herbal solution for acne, sun damage, or dull skin — Palash delivers naturally:
1. Acne Control & Anti-Inflammatory Properties
Palash is rich in flavonoids and tannins, giving it powerful anti-acne and anti-inflammatory properties. It helps balance excess oil (sebum), reduce redness, and calm acne flare-ups — without disrupting your skin’s barrier.
2. Soothes Skin Rashes and Allergies
Its cooling nature makes Palash excellent for managing eczema, itching, and inflammatory skin conditions. Whether you have sensitive skin or seasonal rashes, this Ayurvedic remedy for skin inflammation provides fast relief.
3. Natural Skin Brightening and Pigmentation Control
Palash helps brighten skin tone and reduce hyperpigmentation by supporting healthy cell turnover and detoxification. It’s a natural solution for uneven skin tone and dark spots caused by pollution or sun exposure.
4. Sun Damage & Tan Removal
With its natural UV-protective and skin-soothing properties, Palash works beautifully in tan removal treatments. It calms sunburns, reduces heat rashes, and restores a healthy, radiant glow.
🌿 Why settle for chemical-laced skincare when nature already has the answers? Embrace herbal wisdom with our handcrafted, Palash-rich solution.
Palash vs Other Ayurvedic Herbs for Skin
While Neem excels in purifying and Turmeric reduces inflammation, Palash offers a triple-action benefit — cooling, healing, and brightening. Compared to Sandalwood, which is often expensive and endangered, Palash is eco-friendly, abundant, and just as effective.
It’s especially beneficial for pitta-type skin conditions like acne, redness, and sensitivity — aligning perfectly with Ayurvedic dosha balance.
Scientific Evidence: Why Palash Works for Your Skin
Recent studies show that Palash contains butrin, isobutrin, and core flavonoids with anti-bacterial, anti-fungal, and antioxidant effects. These help:
- Cleanse skin from within
- Reduce microbial growth (acne-causing bacteria)
- Boost skin repair and collagen regeneration
- Delay signs of aging and oxidative stress
Palash truly bridges the gap between ancient skincare secrets and modern plant-based skin science.
How to Use Palash for Skincare
