Additionally, Shikakai’s antifungal and antimicrobial properties help fight dandruff, scalp infections, and other scalp issues. It also prevents blocked follicles, promoting healthy hair growth. Its antibacterial properties protect teeth and gums, preventing infections, plaque, and decay.
Shikakai also has digestive benefits, helping with constipation, indigestion, and bloating. It aids food digestion and relieves abdominal cramps. Furthermore, its antibacterial nature helps treat skin infections like scabies and reduces signs of aging, such as wrinkles.
