Introduction

Kum-Kum is one of the most used powders in India for religious purposes. Women use it as a bindi, and people also worship God by decorating their deities with Kum Kum. We put Kum Kum on our forehead as a sign that we respect God and follow in the footsteps of the good.

Uses

Kum-Kum is very good for your skin. It has natural oils that help you with skin breakage. People not only use it for enhancing your appearance, but it will also help you improve your skin tone from the inside. In Indian history, we believe that there are different energy sources called chakras in the human body. And the sixth chakra from that collection is present between our eyes, i.e., at the base of our forehead. Therefore, putting Kum Kum at that part is a sign of peace. They say that it will bring you closer to the divine and eradicate any evil thoughts that enter your mind. It will help you cleanse our minds and souls from the bad and absorb the good from within and beyond.
