Avarampoo powder also called avaram poo powder is wonderful for skin care and here in our village we start using it for skin care from a very early age. Regular use helps keeps the skin blemish free and spotless. We mainly use it in the form of bath powder but if you don’t want to use it as a bath powder, you can try the face packs given below, they help treat almost all the skin problems. Choose one of the face packs given and use it regularly at least weekly twice to see good results.
What Is Avarampoo Powder?
Avarampoo powder is the powder of avarampoo flowers. Avaram poo is the Tamil name of the plant and Senna auriculata is the botanical name. Avarampoo grows wildly everywhere in Tamil Nadu and usually it is found plenty near the river beds. There is a small stream flowing in the middle of our farm and I love to go for walks there and there are always plenty of avarmpoo near the stream. It is very serene there especially when the water is flowing. I love to look at the avarampoo flowers and usually they are in full bloom throughout the year.
Avarampoo flowers are very cooling and both the leaves and flowers are used extensively in skin care. I have heard my grandma say that in her younger days, avarampoo was used for skin care almost daily in the form of bath powder but sadly the usage is decreasing now. Avarampoo helps cool down the body and since India is a very hot country, herbs that cooled the body were treasured and used very often in day to day life.
If you are living in a city where you can’t find avarampoo, try visiting a village near by, I am sure you will find plenty of avarampoo there. Dry avarampoo very well and you can store and use it for a long time. Avarampoo is wonderful for using in external application as it treats many skin problems. It keeps the skin from infections and the best way to use it for external application is by including it in face packs.
Avarampoo Skin Care Benefits:
Avarampoo Skin Care Benefits:- Avarampoo has antimicrobial properties so it helps treat all skin infections very well.
- Avarampoo powder reduces inflammation so if you are suffering from skin inflammation apply the avaram poo and neem paste given below in that area for a few days regularly.
- Avaram poo has antioxidant properties so both consuming it and using it externally will help fight off free radicals which are the major cause of premature aging of our skin.
- Avarampoo if used as a bath powder or as a face pack helps lighten scars and blemishes very well. But we have to be regular with using it to see results.
- Avarampoo also helps remove sun tan and has a protective effect on our skin.
- It is very gentle on the skin and can be used by people of all skin types. Traditionally we always include aavaram poo in babies bath powder too.
- The water extract of avarampoo can be used as a wound wash and it helps heal wounds faster.
How To Make Aavaram poo Powder?
To make avarampoo powder, collect fresh avarampoo, wash well to get rid of any dirt and spread it on a cloth to remove excess moisture. Once the excess moisture has been removed, spread it on a plate and sundry till crisp. While it is still crisp from sun drying, powder it in a dry mixer, sieve and then store. This powder will last well at room temperature for a few weeks but make sure to keep it away from moisture.

Ramya since all the ingredients are dry do we have to mix it with milk. Will it leave a drying effect on skin? Looking forward to more face washes and cleansers.
Aparna, I have normal to dry skin and this powder did not dry my skin at all when used with water. But during winter time, it will be a good idea to mix it with milk, especially if your skin is very dry….
Madam thank you for your information I have dark skin how to become fair and i am becoming bald these days how to regrow my fallen hairs please help
Hi, As far as I know, there is no cream or a face pack that will change the skin color that we are born with, but regular use of fair packs and a healthy diet will brighten the skin tone. Try the homemade bleach in the blog regularly. For hair fall, start with gentle hair massage every day with homemade hair oils (try curry leaf hair oil) and use a hair pack weekly twice to strengthen the hair roots along with a healthy diet….
Is it Avarampoo to change fair complextion.
Avarampoo keeps the skin blemish free and will brighten the skin, if used regularly……
i am regular user of this powder and it works
Thank u for ur rep mam. Asked for my 19 months old daughter. She is becoming too dark day by day. Only her face is very fair. But whole body very dark. Really i dot know what to do. One of my friend asked me to apply avarampoo for good result.
Please don't worry, ask her to try this bath powder regularly instead of soap. As it contains both avarampoo and kasthuri manjal, it is very effective in brightening the skin tone. But ask her to be regular in using this……..
Thank you so much mam. I hope my daughter's skin get fair complexion by regular use. Mam ur site is such a fantastic one. Great…..by SREE

Hello mam. Im sree. Using avarampoo for two weeks on my baby skin but i didnt see any difference. How long will use for the best result ?plz rep mam
Hi Sree, In home remedies, kathuri manjal is one of the best ingredient to brighten the skin tone. Ask her to use it regularly everyday at least for 2 to 3 months, also try to mix the powder with curd if she has a dry skin, as curd is also a gentle and natural bleach. But above all please remember that we can never change the color of the skin tone we are born with drastically…….
I am in Chennai here I don't get avarampoo can I skip this
Try in naatu marunthu kadai in Chennai for dried avarampoo. If you don't get even the dried flowers, then skip it….
Hi Ramya, this is Bagya… Thanks for sharing valuable information on age old home remedies. Hats off to your great efforts. Can you please suggest home made bathing powder as well as shampoo for 6 month baby. P. S. You look very pretty 🙂

Thanks for your reply mam..
How long should I leave aloe vera on my face? Can I get rose petals and avarampoo from the natu marundhu kadai.. will it be equally good?
You can leave Aloe Vera on the face till it dries completely. You can get avarampoo from naatu marundhu kadai but am not sure about rose petals as they are usually sprayed with pesticides…

Hello Madam,I'm Gayathri from Bangalore, I saw your blogs recently and looks very impressing, planning to prepare the Rose Petal bath powder :)My second daughter is 2 year and she has a very dry skin, it turns darker without any moisturizer and some of them even make the skin look dark. I'm now trying with the ingredients for daily bath : besan powder, turmeric powder, little almond powder(grinded at home). Will this help ?
The mixture sounds good, if you can try including avarampoo in it too. You can also try massaging her skin with pure warm homemade coconut oil before bath, this will keep her skin moisturized, smooth and blemish free.
Hi, I can't find vetiver anywhere and my skin is prone to have acne. Not a lot but there is always one or 2 that then goes away but another one pops up. Can I substitute it with neem leaves or something? Also does it help with acne scars?
If you don't have vetiver, just skip it and make the powder with the rest of the ingredients…
Useful information.But why present the information in one large paragraph? Can't you break it down into smaller paragraphs to make it easier to read over the computer screen? I had to copy and paste the text into a word processor and break it down to smaller paragraphs before reading it.

Though we can't change the color of the tone drastically, I would suggest applying licorice (athimadhuram)as a face mask as it has been proven to lighten the skin tone. Mix licorice powder with besan and rose water and apply as a face mask weekly thrice. This mask usually can be used by people with sensitive skin too but I would still suggest doing a patch test before applying…

Avarampoo is full of antioxidants and is very very hydrating when taken internally but I am not sure about improving the skin complexion. I would suggest using avarampoo in the form of bath powder like given above…

You can use almond oil too, but always make sure to use pure organic unrefined oils for best results…
Mam..the cream you suggested to me anti age cream..you added lavender essential oil..instead of that..can I add almond essential oil?.and aloevera gel from fresh plant is suggest able?
You can use almond essential oil instead of lavender essential oil. Even I prefer fresh plant extract but for making a cream we need the store bought gel as it helps emulsify the cream. I would suggest using only store bought gel for the cream…

Mam i am getting skin irritation while using this powder. Am getting rashes and itching.. Pls suggest a way to get rid of it.. I don't know to wich ingredient am alergic to..
We use this avarampoo bath powder for kids and it rarely causes any skin irritation. I would suggest using kasturi turmeric powder separately and see whether it causes skin irritation as the rest of the ingredients rarely does. Also did you grind the ingredients yourself or did you use store bought powders?
Hi, try using online. https://nattumarunthukadai.com/. you will get almost everything.
Most of the remedies that Ramaya is sharing across, i have been using from my childhood. My mother has been very much natural remediation rather than cosmetic.
Thanks Ramya, your site is wonderful. All the best!!
is avarampoo bitter? someone made tea with flowers that i gave them they told it was bitter.
also there is some cumin shaped seeds in the middle of the flower, are those ground up or boiled and to be eaten or used also for internal and external use? or is it only the PETALS.
Thank you for sharing that detail. It was fascinating and insightful. Continue to share useful resources over these blogs…
