Dhataki / Dhavdi Phool Churna from Riddhish Herbals is the dried-flower powder of Dhataki — Woodfordia fruticosa, the Fire-Flame Bush. In Ayurveda the flower is Kashaya (astringent) and Grahi (gut-toning), and it is the classical Sandhana (fermentation) catalyst used to prepare Asavas and Arishtas. The flowers are naturally rich in tannins and flavonoids. Researchers have isolated its flavonoid constituents. Each pack is genuine, bill-provided material from a doctor-guided store operating since 2015.
About Dhataki / Dhavdi Phool Churna
Dhataki — Woodfordia fruticosa, the Fire-Flame Bush — carries small, brilliant red flowers that Ayurveda has valued for two things: their astringent, gut-toning nature, and their unique role as the classical starter that drives the fermentation of Asavas and Arishtas. This churna is the dried flower, finely milled.
Riddhish Herbals supplies it as a clean single-material flower powder under our doctor-guided selection standard, with a bill on every order. Its astringency comes from the tannins naturally held in the flower.
Traditional Ayurvedic Importance
Classical texts (Bhavaprakasha Nighantu, under Dhataki) describe the flower as Tikta (bitter) and Kashaya (astringent), Sheeta (cooling), with Grahi (gut-toning), Sangrahi (binding) and Raktastambhana (blood-settling) qualities. Above all it is the classical Sandhana dravya — the flower whose natural yeasts drive the fermentation of Asava and Arishta preparations.
In classical practice Dhataki is used both as this fermentation catalyst and, on its own, as an astringent gut-comfort flower, always within a physician-guided routine. The amount and anupana are matched to each person by a Vaidya.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is Dhataki / Dhavdi Phool Churna?
It is the dried-flower powder of Dhataki (Woodfordia fruticosa, the Fire-Flame Bush) — a Kashaya (astringent), Grahi (gut-toning) flower that is also the classical fermentation catalyst for Asavas and Arishtas.
Why is Dhataki used in Asava and Arishta?
Dhataki flowers carry natural yeasts and are the classical Sandhana (fermentation) starter: added to a sugar-and-herb base, they drive the natural fermentation that makes an Asava or Arishta.
What are the alternate names of Dhataki?
Dhataki, Tamrapushpi or Agnijwala (Sanskrit), Dhai or Dhawai or Dhai Phool (Hindi), Dhavdi (Gujarati); in English Fire-Flame Bush. Botanically Woodfordia fruticosa.
What are its classical properties?
The Bhavaprakasha Nighantu (Dhataki) describes the flower as Tikta (bitter) and Kashaya (astringent), Sheeta (cooling), with Grahi (gut-toning), Sangrahi (binding) and Raktastambhana (blood-settling) qualities, and as the classical Sandhana (fermentation) dravya.
How is it traditionally used?
Two ways: as a fermentation catalyst in classical Asava / Arishta making, and as an astringent churna (about 1–3 g with water), as advised by your Ayurvedic physician.
Is this AYUSH- or GMP-made?
