Borsali Powder from Riddhish Herbals is finely ground bark powder of Bakul (Mimusops elengi L.), a classical Ayurvedic tree whose bark is traditionally classified as Dantya (supporting dental wellness), Kanthya (throat-supporting) and Grahi (astringent). In classical Nighantu literature such as the Bhava Prakasha Nighantu (Vatadi Varga), Bakula is described among Kashaya (astringent) dravyas used in traditional Danta Dhavana (tooth-care) and dant-manjan practices. A phytochemical and pharmacological review of Mimusops elengi recorded its tannin- and saponin-rich constituents (Asian Pacific Journal of Tropical Biomedicine, 2012; PMID 23570006).
About Borsali Powder (Bakul Bark Powder)
Borsali Powder is the finely ground bark of the Bakul tree, Mimusops elengi L., called Bakula in Sanskrit. In Gujarat the tree is known as Borsali; across north India it is Maulsari or Molsari. This 100 g pack is a single-herb raw material sourced and packed by Riddhish Herbals for those who follow a classical Ayurvedic oral-care routine.
Where the seed (Borsali Beej) is one part of this fragrant tree, it is the bark that classical texts single out for Danta (dental) care. Bakul bark powder has long been the base of traditional Ayurvedic tooth powders and gum-massage preparations.
Traditional Ayurvedic Importance
Classical Nighantu literature describes Bakula as a foremost Dantya (dental-wellness) dravya — its Grahi (astringent, binding) and Kaphahara qualities are the basis of its long use in oral care, as recorded in the Bhava Prakasha Nighantu (Vatadi Varga). It is also noted as Kanthya, supportive of the throat.
In everyday classical practice, Bakul bark powder is the base of dant-manjan (herbal tooth powder) and features in Danta Dhavana (Ayurvedic tooth-cleaning) and gentle gum-massage traditions. These are classical wellness practices, offered here for those who wish to follow them as advised by their own Ayurvedic physician.
