Kamal Churna from Riddhish Herbals is pure dried lotus flower powder — Kamal (Padma), the flower of Nelumbo nucifera, the sacred lotus. In classical Ayurveda the lotus flower is Madhura-Kashaya in Rasa and Sheeta (cooling) in Virya, and is described as Hridya (heart-soothing), Varnya (complexion-supporting), Raktaprasadana (blood-clearing) and Pitta-shamaka. It is used both in cosmetic face packs and, internally, as advised by a physician. Each pack is genuine, bill-provided material from a doctor-guided store operating since 2015.
About Kamal Churna (Lotus Flower)
Kamal — Kamal Phool, Padma, sacred lotus, Nelumbo nucifera — is one of India’s most revered plants, cherished in both classical Ayurveda and Indian cultural tradition. Kamal Churna is the dried lotus flower ground fine, carrying its delicate natural fragrance.
Riddhish Herbals supplies it as clean single-material lotus flower powder under our doctor-guided selection standard, with a bill on every order. It is used in cooling face packs (lepa) and, for internal use, as advised by a Vaidya. (See also our KamalKakdi Churna — the lotus stem / rhizome from the same plant.)
Traditional Ayurvedic Importance
Classical texts describe Padma (Kamal) as Madhura and Kashaya in Rasa, Guru and Snigdha in Guna, Sheeta in Virya and Madhura in Vipaka, with a Hridya (heart-soothing), Varnya (complexion-supporting), Raktaprasadana and Pitta-shamaka character. It is a classic cooling flower, valued for soothing, complexion-care and Pitta-balancing preparations.
The lotus holds a uniquely sacred place in Indian tradition, and its flower has long been used both as a cosmetic Varnya dravya and internally within cooling Pitta-balancing routines chosen by a physician.
