Manjistha is the root of Rubia cordifolia, Indian madder, a climbing plant whose root yields a strong red dye as well as a medicine.
In Ayurveda it belongs to the raktashodhaka group — literally blood-purifying — and its traditional applications are skin complaints and complexion. Modern evidence is sparse.
