Bijora Churna from Riddhish Herbals is a single-herb powder of dried Bijora (Matulunga, Citrus medica Linn.) fruit — the classical citron. In Ayurveda, Matulunga is described as Deepana (kindles Agni), Rochana (appetite-supporting) and Pachana (aids digestion). This 100g churna is used as a daily digestive-wellness support, taken with warm water as directed by a qualified Ayurvedic physician.
About Bijora Churna
Bijora is the Indian citron, a large thick-rinded citrus fruit that Ayurveda has valued for its sour-sweet Rasa and its friendliness to the digestive fire. Riddhish Herbals grinds the dried fruit into a fine churna so the fruit's traditional Deepana and Rochana qualities can be taken conveniently as part of a daily routine.
Known in Sanskrit as Matulunga and across Gujarat simply as Bijoru, the citron sits in the Amradi Phala Varga of the classical Nighantus. Each 100g pack contains only Bijora fruit powder — a single-herb churna with nothing added.
Traditional Ayurvedic Importance
Bhavaprakasha Nighantu (Amradi Phala Varga) describes Matulunga as Deepana, Rochana and Hridya — a fruit that kindles Agni, awakens appetite and is pleasing to the heart. Classical texts place it among the fruits used to steady Aruchi (disinterest in food) and Chhardi (nausea) and to support comfortable digestion after heavy meals.
Because its Rasa is predominantly sour, Matulunga is traditionally regarded as warming and Vata-Kapha pacifying; those of a heated Pitta constitution use it in smaller measure and with a suitable anupana, as their Vaidya advises.

Who Can Use It
Adults looking to support everyday digestion and appetite within an Ayurvedic routine. If you are pregnant, lactating, taking any medication or managing any health condition, please consult your physician before use. Because the citron is markedly sour, those prone to hyperacidity should begin with a small amount.
Safety Information
Bijora Churna is a single food-class citrus fruit powder. Its sour Rasa may not suit everyone in large amounts — begin modestly and adjust as your physician advises. Consult a qualified Ayurvedic physician before use if pregnant, lactating, on medication or managing any condition. Keep out of reach of children. Results may vary from person to person.
Storage
Store in a cool, dry place in a tightly closed airtight container, away from moisture and direct sunlight. Use a clean, dry spoon to keep the powder free-flowing.
