Manjistha( Rubia cordifolia) It is scientifically known as Rubia cordifolia, also known as Red Madder Root, grows in hilly districts. The dried root of the plant has excellent medicinal properties, and is cooling, astringent and has an affinity for blood. Manjistha is a valuable herb in Ayurveda. Ancient physician and sage, Charaka, categorized the herb as ‘varnya’ or the one that improves complexion, reduces fever, and as a detoxifier. In other words, it is also a popular ‘rasayana’, or a ‘rejuvenative’. Another great sage of Ayurveda and ancient Indian surgeon, Sushruta, referred Manjistha for pacifying pitta dosha. In Ayurveda, it is believed that the three life energies or doshas (vata, pitta, and Kapha), should remain in perfectly balanced condition always, for a person to enjoy good health. Hence, Manjistha helps in maintaining the balance of pitta dosha effectively.
