: I've read so many good posts about cassia obovada...haven't used it
: myself, since I'm already a henna person. But I'm wondering,
: couldn't it be applied to the face as a face mask or other areas of
: the body to work as a skin conditioner?
:
: Any experiments out there?

There have been several medical papers on Cassia Obovata and Cassia
Alata as pastes to apply on skin diseases. Impressive results!

I put Cassia paste on my arm, and my skin felt nice afterwards, but
that's not a lot to go on. Its anti-fungal. Chrysophanic acid seems
to do a wonder on psoriasia and fungal infestations according to
medical papers. See link below.
