Yashtimadhu is used in a variety of forms in Ayurveda such as powder (churna), herbal tea, decoction, syrup, lozenges and tablets. It is generally consumed on a short-term basis after meals with warm water or milk. The leaves of Yashtimadhu (Mulethi) are commonly used for skin and hair care, to alleviate mild acidity, and for throat irritation. It also is used in a few herbal remedies for respiratory health. A face pack that is designed from the outside to enhance the appearance of the face can be applied for cosmetic use. It should not be used by people without medical advice for too long or in excessive amounts as it can have an impact on blood pressure and potassium levels.
