Bakuchi, scientifically known as Psoralea corylifolia, is a traditional herbal supplement that has been used for centuries in various traditional systems of medicine, particularly in Ayurveda and Traditional Chinese Medicine. Bakuchi is derived from the seeds of the Psoralea corylifolia plant and is known for its active compound, bakuchiol, which is often regarded as a natural alternative to retinol in skincare. Bakuchi is believed to have antioxidant and anti-inflammatory properties, making it popular in the field of skincare for its potential benefits in reducing wrinkles, acne, and improving skin texture. In traditional medicine, it has also been used for its potential health benefits, including the treatment of skin disorders, vitiligo, and other skin-related conditions. Bakuchi supplements are available in various forms, including creams, oils, and capsules, but it's crucial to use them under the guidance of a healthcare professional or dermatologist, as dosages and applications can vary based on individual needs and health goals. Moreover, its safety and efficacy for these purposes are subjects of ongoing research and debate.
The recommended dosage of Bakuchi supplements in milligrams (mg) can vary widely depending on the specific form and intended use. For skincare products containing bakuchiol, concentrations typically range from 0.5% to 2%, and it is generally applied topically to the skin. In the case of oral supplements, dosages may range from 50 to 500 mg per day, depending on the specific product and its intended purpose, which might include addressing skin conditions or promoting general health. However, it's crucial to follow product-specific guidelines and consult with a healthcare professional or dermatologist when using Bakuchi, especially for skin-related applications, to ensure the correct dosage and to monitor for potential skin reactions or interactions with other skincare products or medications.
