Fudina Churna from Riddhish Herbals is the dried-leaf powder of Pudina — mint, Mentha arvensis, the classical Putiha. It is both an everyday Indian kitchen herb and a classical Ayurvedic dravya: Katu (pungent), Deepana (digestion-kindling) and Pachana (Ama-digesting), with a Rochana (appetite-friendly) quality and a fresh, menthol-cool character. Mint is a natural source of menthol and aromatic essential oil. Each pack is genuine, bill-provided material from a doctor-guided store operating since 2015.
About Fudina Churna (Pudina / Mint)
Pudina — mint, Mentha arvensis — is one of the most refreshing herbs of the Indian kitchen, known in Gujarat as Fudino and to Ayurveda as Putiha. This churna is the dried mint leaf, finely milled, carrying the herb's bright, menthol-fresh aroma.
Riddhish Herbals supplies it as a clean single-material mint powder under our doctor-guided selection standard, with a bill on every order. Its pungent, digestion-friendly nature makes it as much a daily food-herb as a wellness churna. (Some Pudina is Mentha spicata — confirm the species against your pack.)
Traditional Ayurvedic Importance
Classical texts describe Pudina (Putiha) as Katu (pungent) and Tikta (bitter), Ushna (warming), Laghu and Ruksha, with a Deepana (digestion-kindling), Pachana (Ama-digesting) and Rochana (appetite-friendly) character, and a Vata-Kapha settling direction. It is one of the everyday kitchen dravyas turned to for a fresh mouth and comfortable digestion.
In daily life mint is simply added to food, chutney, chaas (buttermilk) or water; in the classical tradition Pudina is used as a churna or a fresh infusion, with the amount and anupana chosen to suit each person.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is Fudina Churna?
It is the dried-leaf powder of Pudina (mint, Mentha arvensis), the classical Putiha — a Katu (pungent), Deepana-Pachana (digestive) and Rochana (appetite-friendly) culinary and wellness herb.
Is this the same mint used in cooking?
Yes — it is dried Pudina (mint), the same herb used in chutneys and chaas, milled to a convenient powder. It suits both culinary and Ayurvedic wellness use.
What are the alternate names of Pudina?
Putiha or Rochani (Sanskrit), Pudina (Hindi), Fudino (Gujarati), and Pudina across most Indian languages (Tamil, Telugu, Kannada, Malayalam). Botanically Mentha arvensis (some Pudina is Mentha spicata).
What are its classical properties?

Why does mint taste cool if it is 'warming'?
The menthol in mint gives a fresh, cooling sensation on the tongue, while classically Pudina is grouped as a light, warming Deepana herb for digestion — the two describe different things.
