🔹 DESCRIPTION

Ayurveda teaches that simplicity in formulation can be as powerful as complexity — when herbs are chosen wisely and used traditionally. Riddhish Herbals Kadu Kariyatu Kwath reflects this philosophy with its minimal yet purposeful composition of just two deeply respected herbs in Indian wellness culture: Kadu and Kariyatu.

Prepared in the classical Kwath (decoction) form, this blend follows a time-tested method of water extraction used in Ayurveda to preserve subtle herbal qualities. Kwath preparation is traditionally recommended for individuals who prefer gentle, natural daily wellness methods rather than heavily processed formats.

In a world dominated by chemical exposure, irregular habits, and environmental stress, many individuals are turning back to heritage wellness solutions. This herbal decoction is suitable for people who value natural living and discipline-based health routines inspired by classical Ayurveda.

This formulation does not aim at treatment or correction of conditions. Instead, it aligns with Ayurveda’s preventive approach — encouraging internal balance through daily habits and proper nutrition.

Riddhish Herbals offers this product as a simple, transparent herbal wellness option crafted for consumers who prefer limited-ingredient formulations and traditional preparation methods.
