🔹 DESCRIPTION

In Ayurveda, bitterness is not merely a taste—it represents clarity, lightness and internal balance. Riddhish Herbals Kadu / Kutki / Katuki Churna is prepared from the roots of Picrorhiza kurroa, a classical tikta (bitter) herb widely referenced in traditional Ayurvedic literature for its role in maintaining digestive and liver wellness.

This single-herb formulation is designed for individuals who prefer simplicity and authenticity in their Ayurvedic lifestyle. Kutki has long been included in wellness routines aimed at supporting natural metabolic balance, maintaining digestive fire and promoting a feeling of inner cleanliness when used correctly and under professional guidance.

Modern lifestyles often involve irregular eating patterns, screen-heavy routines, late nights and environmental stressors. Ayurveda views such habits as contributors to internal imbalance. In this context, traditionally valued bitter herbs like Kutki are often revisited as part of disciplined, mindful self-care rituals rather than quick solutions.

Kadu / Kutki / Katuki Churna can be consumed with an appropriate anupana such as warm water, honey or ghee, as suggested by an Ayurvedic practitioner. It may also be combined with other compatible herbs under expert advice to suit individual needs.

Riddhish Herbals focuses on offering plant-based, minimally processed Ayurvedic products that align with classical wisdom while fitting into modern wellness routines. Free from artificial additives, this churna is intended for those seeking a clean, traditional herbal option to complement a balanced diet, adequate rest and mindful living.

This product reflects Ayurveda’s preventive and promotive approach—encouraging long-term harmony rather than symptom-focused outcomes.
