Please refer to the below recommended recipe:

HOME-MADE HERBAL POWDER 

For Body - Recipe 1

Spread 1 cup dry mung beans on a tray (or moong dal with the skin) and sunbake them in full sun for a day, or put in a low temp oven (200 degrees) for 30-40 min. Let the beans cool, then put the dried beans into a food processor and add 1/4 cup white rice. Grind the beans and rice together in the food processor until it becomes a powder. (Use a sieve to remove any coars particles as necessary.) Mix 2 tsp. of turmeric into the fine powder and store in a sealed container. This powder can be kept for months if stored in a cool dry place.

To use: Mix 1-2 Tbsp of fine powder with a little water to make a thin paste. Rub the paste into your skin and let it air-dry for a couple of minutes before rinsing.

For Body - Recipe 2

First, make a powder base:

Green gram (whole moong/moong daal) powder and chickpea flour (besan) are very good bathing powders. Mix both and your base is ready. Even if one of these ingredients is available, it is okay️.

Based on availability and preferences, you can add any or all of these ingredients to the base.

For 1 cup of moong+besan powder base, you can add:

1 tsp Organic turmeric powder/haldi

1 tbsp Rice flour

1 tbsp Amala

1 tbsp Tulsi powder

1 tbsp Neem powder

1 tbsp Dry lemon or orange peel powder

Adding these ingredients is not mandatory.

Mix all of the ingredients together and put them in an airtight container.

Before bathing, take two tablespoons of the mixture and add water to it. Make sure there are no lumps.

You can take a bath right away. There is no need to soak the mixture for long.

For Hair - Recipe 1

Ritha, amla and shikakai are considered a great combination for hair cleansing and nourishment, and have been in use for thousands of years.

Traditionally, they are cooked together in an iron utensil and kept overnight to be used the next day.

Since the cooked mixture has a short shelf life and the preparation process might not be practical in most of our daily lives, we can buy them in powder form and soak them in water before applying.

For best results, take the required amount and soak it an hour before or overnight. Make sure the paste is thick enough that it does not flow away easily.

Dampen your hair, apply the mixture gently and wash thoroughly. There is no need to let it rest for a long period of time.

Since this is a one-step registration process, if you were unable to complete the payment in the first attempt, you will need to fill up the registration form again. We recommended that you register and make the payment from a desktop or a laptop.
