Jasud Powder (Hibiscus rosa-sinensis Flower) | Ayurvedic Hibiscus Flower Powder for Hair & Skin | Riddhish Herbals | 100g

About Jasud Powder (Hibiscus rosa-sinensis Flower)

Jasud Powder is a single-herb powder made from the dried flowers of Hibiscus rosa-sinensis — the China rose or shoe-flower, known as Jasud in Gujarati and Gudhal in Hindi. Riddhish Herbals offers it as 100% pure hibiscus flower powder, manufactured in a GMP-, ISO 9001:2015- and HACCP-certified facility, with no fillers, colours or preservatives. The label states the composition plainly: Hibiscus rosa-sinensis 100%.

The flower (phool) is the part used here — the same part traditional Indian households have long ground into hair and skin pastes.

Traditional Ayurvedic Importance

Ayurveda knows the hibiscus flower as Japapushpa and values it as a Keshya (hair-supporting) and Varnya (complexion-supporting) dravya. Its cooling nature makes it a classic Pitta-pacifying flower, used in lepa (external paste) preparations for the scalp and skin. Across the regional and folk traditions of Gujarat and South India, the flower has been ground fresh and applied to nourish the hair and soothe the scalp.

Traditional use here is external — as a hair mask or face pack — rather than internal.

Findings are observed under research conditions and do not constitute medical claims. Individual results may vary.
