🔹 DESCRIPTION

In Ayurveda, beauty is considered a reflection of balance, nourishment and mindful self-care. Jasud Phool Churna, prepared from carefully dried hibiscus flowers (Hibiscus rosa-sinensis), is traditionally used in hair and skin wellness routines across India. Known locally as Jasud, Gudhal or Jaswand, this vibrant flower has been part of Ayurvedic and folk beauty practices for generations.

Hibiscus flowers are naturally rich in plant compounds such as flavonoids, organic acids and antioxidants, which make them a valued ingredient for external applications. When incorporated into hair care rituals, Jasud Phool Churna is traditionally used to support hair softness, manageability and natural lustre. It is also commonly blended with other herbal powders or natural bases like curd, aloe vera or oils as part of weekly self-care routines.

For skin care, hibiscus powder is often included in face packs and body scrubs to help refresh the skin, gently exfoliate and support a naturally radiant appearance. Its cooling and soothing nature makes it suitable for mindful beauty rituals that focus on relaxation and rejuvenation.

In today’s fast-paced lifestyle, exposure to pollution, stress and irregular routines can affect hair and skin quality. Jasud Phool Churna offers a simple, plant-based option for those seeking to reconnect with traditional Ayurvedic beauty practices. It fits well into modern wellness routines that value clean ingredients, minimal processing and time-honoured wisdom.

This herbal powder is ideal for individuals who prefer authentic Ayurvedic raw materials for external use and wish to maintain a holistic beauty routine aligned with nature and tradition.
