Bakuchi Seed Oil

on Friday, December 5, 2008


This is an Ayurvedic herb. It is found in sandy and dry areas of India. Used in Ayurveda for curing Leucoderma and other disorders of the skins.
It was shown to improve the color of skin (including removing white spots).

This oil has an irritant and specific effect on the skin and mucous membrane. It has a powerful effect against the skin streptococci. This essential oil however varies enormously in its effect on different persons. With the majority (95%), it causes only redness of the leucodermic patches. In a small number (5%), there is an extreme sensitiveness to the oil, so much so that blistering may be produced. The strength of the oil may, therefore, be varied in such a way as not to allow its action go beyond the state of redness of the leucodermic patches. So far as it is known, Psoralea corylifolia is the only oil that has the dual action on both Rouget’s cells and the melanoblastic cells of the skin. In leukoderma, the melanoblastic cells do not function properly and their stimulation by the oil leads them to form and exude pigment. This, in turn, gets gradually diffused into discolorized areas of skin.
