Overview

Organic Chitraka Powder — Ayurveda's Digestive Fire Herb

Chitraka (Plumbago zeylanica) is one of Ayurveda's most powerful digestive herbs, known for its intense warming and metabolic-stimulating properties. Its name derives from the Sanskrit word meaning "to make colourful" — a reference to its ability to restore vitality and colour to a sluggish system. Used for centuries in classical formulations like Chitrakadi Vati, our certified organic Chitraka Powder brings this potent root to your daily wellness practice.
