About Karanj Chhal Churna (Karanja Bark)
Karanj Chhal — the bark of Karanja, Pongamia pinnata (L.) Pierre, also known botanically as Millettia pinnata — is a classical Ayurvedic single herb long associated with skin-wellness and Kapha-balancing routines.
Riddhish Herbals supplies it as single-material Karanj Chhal powder with a bill on every order. It is chosen within classical Kushtaghna (skin-wellness) and Krimighna routines guided by a Vaidya, who matches the amount, the anupan and the mode of use — internal or external — to the individual.
Traditional Ayurvedic Importance
Classical texts describe Karanja bark as Kushtaghna (skin-wellness), Krimighna (parasite-cleansing) and Kaphahara (Kapha-balancing), and it has long featured in classical skin-wellness formulations, both taken internally and applied externally under physician guidance.
Its bark has been used in classical Ayurvedic routines for skin balance and general Kapha-pacification, for physician-guided classical use rather than as a claim for any specific modern condition.
