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.

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.
