What is White Wild Turmeric Powder and how to identify the real Kasturi Manjal
This original white wild turmeric powder/Kasturi Turmeric/Musk Turmeric or Curcuma Aromatica is extremely rare and is handpicked from organic farms of Western Ghats of Kerala, shade-dried and finely milled to perfection. It has a cream/ivory color and it gives an instant cooling sensation from first use itself. It causes no burning sensation and gives a cooling effect to skin.
Market is flooded with several kinds of Kasturi Manjal. I am going to tell you few identifiers that will help you out in identifying what is real and what is fake. Real Kasturi Manjal is cream to tan color, where as in the market you find slight yellow to dark yellow powder termed as Kasturi Turmeric. It is never used for cooking as it has potent aroma, bitter and astringent qualities. That is also the reason its called (Curcuma Aromatica).

How to use Shesha Ayurveda Kasturi Manjal
My favorite way to use musk turmeric is by mixing it with water and using as a face pack including my under eye area. I like the cooling sensation it gives after application. No burning sensation at all. And, once dried, I wash it off. I see a drastic difference in the way my skin looks as well as I noticed it quickly fades acne scars and other spots on face. Regular use of this miracle face pack is helping me keep my skin healthy and clear. I also see that in about 3 months time, my facial hair have reduced to an extend. I totally love that it doesn’t accentuate dryness. It’s hydrating on my face and it gives a natural glow on my skin. I like to us it 3-4 times a week.
