Kutuja Bark Powder (Holarrhena Antidysenterica) - 114g

• Supports digestive comfort and healthy bowel function
• Helps maintain natural fluid balance in the gut
• Promotes well-formed stools and bowel regularity

Kutuja Bark Powder is prepared from the bark of Holarrhena antidysenterica, a traditional Ayurvedic herb also known as Kutaja, Indrajao, Kurchi, Kalinga, and Vatsaka. This plant is a large shrub or tree from the Apocynaceae family, naturally found in the deciduous forests of India and the sub-Himalayan region. It is recognized by its oval, membranous leaves, white five-petalled flowers with a mild jasmine-like fragrance, and paired cylindrical fruits.

In Ayurveda, both the bark and seeds of Kutaja are highly regarded. The seeds, known as Indrayava, are especially valued for their traditional use in digestive imbalance, while the bark is commonly used for its astringent, gut-supportive, and balancing qualities. Together, they make Kutaja one of Ayurveda’s most respected herbs for digestive wellness and bowel support.

Kutaja bark powder is traditionally appreciated for its cooling, bitter, and astringent nature, which helps soothe the gut, support natural intestinal fluid balance, and encourage comfortable, well-formed stools.
