Dadam Chhal Churna from Riddhish Herbals is the sun-dried peel (Chhal / Twak) of Dadam — pomegranate, Punica granatum. In Ayurveda the rind is the classical Dadima Twak, valued as a Kashaya (astringent) and Grahi (gut-toning) dravya, traditionally used to support the Grahani (gut) and comfortable digestion. Pomegranate peel is a naturally tannin- and polyphenol-rich material. A review documented its chemistry. Each pack is genuine, bill-provided material from a doctor-guided store operating since 2015.
About Dadam Chhal Churna (Pomegranate Peel)
Dadam — the pomegranate, Punica granatum — is one of the most loved fruits of the subcontinent, and Ayurveda values not only its arils but its rind. This churna is the sun-dried peel (Chhal / Twak), finely milled, an astringent gut-comfort dravya in the classical tradition.
Riddhish Herbals supplies it as a clean single-material peel powder under our doctor-guided selection standard, with a bill on every order. The peel is naturally rich in tannins, which give it its characteristic astringency.
Traditional Ayurvedic Importance
Classical texts (Bhavaprakasha Nighantu, under Dadima) describe the pomegranate rind as Kashaya (astringent) and Grahi — gut-toning and binding — with a Deepana (Agni-supporting) quality. It is one of the classical Grahi dravyas turned to for firm, comfortable bowel function.
Its predominantly Kashaya rasa makes it traditionally Pitta-Kapha settling. In classical practice the peel is used as a churna or a decoction (kwath), with the amount and anupana chosen by a Vaidya to suit each person.

How to Use
As directed by your Ayurvedic physician. A common traditional reference is about 3–5 g of the powder with warm water, twice daily, or prepared as a kwath (decoction). Being astringent, it is taken with adequate water; the quantity and anupan are matched to you by a Vaidya.
Who Can Use It
Suitable for most adults as a gentle astringent gut-comfort powder within a physician-guided routine. Because it is drying and binding, those prone to hard or infrequent stools use it modestly and with plenty of water. Consult a qualified Ayurvedic physician before use if you are pregnant, lactating, on medication, or managing a health condition.
Safety Information
Dadam Chhal is a gentle, food-class astringent peel powder. Because its Kashaya (astringent) nature is drying and binding, take it with adequate water and use it modestly if you are prone to hard or infrequent stools. If you are pregnant, lactating, on medication, or managing any condition, consult your physician before use. Keep out of reach of children. Results may vary from person to person.
Storage
Store in a cool, dry place in an airtight container away from moisture and direct sunlight. Keep the pack tightly closed after each use.
Frequently Asked Questions
What is Dadam Chhal Churna?
It is the sun-dried peel (Chhal / Twak) of Dadam (pomegranate, Punica granatum), milled to a powder — a classical Kashaya (astringent) and Grahi (gut-toning) dravya used for gut comfort.
What are the alternate names of Dadam?
Dadam is Dadima or Dadimba (Sanskrit), Anar (Hindi), Dalimb (Marathi), Madhulai (Tamil), Danimma (Telugu), Dalimbe (Kannada) and Mathalam (Malayalam); this product is the peel. Botanically Punica granatum.
Why is the peel used and not the fruit?
The sweet arils are eaten as fruit; the rind (Chhal) is the astringent, tannin-rich part that Ayurveda values as a Grahi (gut-toning) dravya. This churna is the peel.
How is it traditionally used?
Classically about 3–5 g of the powder is taken with warm water twice daily, or made into a kwath (decoction), as advised by your Ayurvedic physician.
What are its classical properties?
The Bhavaprakasha Nighantu (Dadima) describes the rind as Kashaya (astringent), Grahi (gut-toning) and Deepana (Agni-supporting), predominantly Pitta-Kapha settling.
Is this AYUSH- or GMP-made?
This is a raw single-herb peel powder in Riddhish Herbals' own pack. Any AYUSH or GMP mark would appear on the physical pack — we state such marks only where verified on the pack.
Who should use it with care?
Because it is astringent and binding, those prone to hard or infrequent stools should use it modestly and with plenty of water. Pregnant or lactating women should use it only on a physician's advice.
Has pomegranate peel been studied scientifically?
Yes — a review documented its chemistry and food features, including its polyphenols and tannins (Akhtar S et al., 2015, Food Chemistry). This is shared for general educational interest, not as a medical claim.
