Manjistha Supreme™ is a plant medicine derived from the roots of Rubia cordifolia. Manjistha grows in Southeast Asia, China, tropical Africa, and India. It contains a variety of quinones, iridoid glycosides, triterpinoids, and beta-sitosterol.
Research has shown its efficacy as an antioxidant, muscle relaxer, anti-seizure, and anti-anxiety remedy. The herb has also been shown to be an immune stimulant; one trial demonstrated an increase in white blood cells by 151%.
Manjistha has many uses but is ideal for inflammatory skin conditions like acne, vitiligo, and eczema.
Manjistha seems to be very well absorbed in the GI leading us to think of it loosely as a more bioavailable version of turmeric (though a different plant).
Manjistha is considered to be the most renowned blood-detoxifying herb in Ayurveda. Manjistha has been used traditionally as a liver and kidney detoxifier. Manjistha also seems to be quite useful in treating anxiety. This action may be in part due to its ability to raise dopamine levels.
