If there are cuts or grazes on skin you can use usilam powder obtained from usilam tree leaves. This powder can be used instead of soap during the Friday/Saturday bath.
In case of skin conditions like scabies or eczema, iluppai oil cake obtained from Indian Butter tree can be an alternative for the usual soap.
Shikkakai powder or boondhi kottai powder can be used for cleaning if you are using herbal oil.
For those using cow’s ghee, green gram powder can be used for cleaning.
