I was told that there are very high levels for arsenic in this product. Canadian food agency said that there was more than 40 times the acceptance level of arsenic. Please clarify. Thank you very much.
However, the ingredients listed on the label don’t include arsenic in any form. Processed Arsenic is used in a very few of Ayurvedic and Unani medicines. There might be two possibilities:
1. The manufacturer might have included Arsenic in Safi before reporting and issuing a warning by Canadian Government. Now, they might have changed their formulation.
2. There might be arsenic contamination in Safi.
Ayush Department of Indian Government has also disallowed to export any product outside India that contains heavy metals including arsenic, mercury, and lead, but they have not banned this in India.

Also externally apply acne removal creams on your face without any fail.

Sir i m using Safi for 15 days but my acne has been increased in numbers now what to do ?? Please help me out
This reply is based on articles that I read online and what I have heard from my friends:
Like any other acne wash/cream, depending on the response of the body to this new syrup, the acne/boil might increase and pimples might breakout temporarily for a day or two, but then after your skin will heal up faster and become smoother and will have more glow, and will be free of dead skin cells. In order to get rid of dead cells on body, Safi will pass (excrete) them off the skin.
Drinking safi regularly for a month will purify blood and cleanse it of harmful chemicals.
