Health Benefits Of Masikkai 
♦ Piles : Piles are known as Arsh in Ayurveda. It is mainly caused by an unhealthy diet and sedentary lifestyle and leads to the impairment of all the three doshas, mainly Vata. An aggravated Vata causes a low digestive fire, leading to constipation.

Hyperpigmentation is caused by an aggravation of Pitta dosha in the body when the skin is exposed to heat or the sun. Majuphal helps in reducing tanning and pigmentation due to its Ropan (healing) property and Sita (cold) nature.

According to Ayurveda, leucorrhea is due to an imbalance of Kapha dosha. Masikkai (Podi) shows a good result in leucorrhea because of its Kashaya (astringent) property.
