Can Herbal Powders Be Taken Regularly?

hello doctor,
I have a couple of questions.
1. is it safe to take some of herbal powders like amla, bringaraj, brahmi, shankapushpi etc on a regular basis. Is it safe to take these after consulting an ayurvedic doctor?
2. what should I do to get rid of the black scars at the lower part of my breast which I got by scratching it with my nails

thank you

Hello Savitha ,

Thanks for the query .

For what purpose you want to take these herbs ? I'll advice to take these herbs after consulting an Ayurvedic doctor . Though these herbs can be taken safely but it's better to take after consultation as the doctor would examine you and accordingly suggest the herbs .

As for the scars , following remedies can be used :

* Gently massage the area with coconut oil / Badam roghan ( almond oil ) twice a day .
*Apply paste made with powder of a) Split red lentil and milk cream , b) Soak rice in water for 1 hr , grind it , mix with curd and apply ,c) Take Besan ( Bengal gram powder , mix it with rose water or milk . Apply any one of these combinations for 20 - 30 minutes and wash with plain water .

Do this regularly and the scars will heal .
