About Gandhilo Vaj Churna
Gandhilo Vaj, widely known as Vacha, is the dried rhizome of Acorus calamus L. (family Acoraceae; classified under Araceae in some older botanical sources). Riddhish Herbals' Gandhilo Vaj Churna is this single rhizome, cleaned, dried and milled to a coarse-to-fine churna — a single-material raw herb with no other ingredient added.
The rhizome is traded under several regional names across India, including Vacha, Vaj, Ghoda Vaj, Gandhilo Vaj, Bach, Baje and Safed Bach, and is internationally known as Sweet Flag or Calamus.
Traditional Ayurvedic Importance
Vacha is classically described in texts including the Bhavaprakasha Nighantu, where it is grouped, among other classical categories, under the Medhya and Lekhaniya dravya groups. Classically, its Rasa (taste) is described as Tikta-Katu (bitter, pungent), its Guna (qualities) as Laghu-Tikshna (light, sharp), its Virya (potency) as Ushna (hot), and its Vipaka (post-digestive effect) as Katu (pungent).
These are classical textual descriptions of the dravya's traditional categorisation, drawn from named classical Nighantu literature — they describe how the herb has historically been classified, not a claim about what this specific product will do for an individual user.
