Kapasmool Churna from Riddhish Herbals is the powdered root (Mool) of Kapas — Cotton, Gossypium herbaceum Linn. (Malvaceae) — a classical Ayurvedic single herb described in regional materia medica as having a particular affinity for the female reproductive (Artava) system. Because of its potent classical action, it is intended strictly for use within a qualified Ayurvedic physician's guidance, and it is absolutely contraindicated during pregnancy. Each pack is genuine, bill-provided material from a doctor-guided store operating since 2015.
About Kapasmool Churna (Kapas / Cotton Root Powder)
Kapasmool — the Mool (root) of Kapas, the cotton plant, Gossypium herbaceum Linn. — is a classical single herb documented in regional and folk Ayurvedic materia medica, chiefly within physician-guided women's-wellness routines centred on Artava (the female reproductive system).
Riddhish Herbals supplies it as single-material Kapasmool powder with a bill on every order. Given its potent classical action, it is intended strictly for use within a qualified Ayurvedic physician's guidance and personalised prescription — never as a self-selected or self-administered preparation.
Traditional Ayurvedic Importance
Regional and folk Ayurvedic materia medica describe Kapasmool as a single dravya with a particular classical affinity for Artava (the female reproductive system), and it appears in physician-guided women's-wellness formulations in some traditions. Because sources on this herb are less standardised across the major classical Samhitas than for more widely documented dravyas, it is used strictly under individual physician assessment rather than generic self-directed use.
As a botanical matter, the cotton plant's characteristic phytochemical, gossypol, has been found by researchers to be concentrated mainly in the root rather than other parts of the plant — consistent with the classical use of specifically the root (Mool) rather than the leaf, seed or flower. This is shared as background botanical information only, and is not a dosing or safety guide; your physician alone determines the appropriate use, if any, for you.

Research on the Constituents
◆ Researchers studying cotton plant biology found that the root is the major site where gossypol — the plant's principal characteristic phytochemical — is biosynthesised and accumulated, more so than in other parts of the plant — (Zhao T et al., 2020 — BMC Plant Biology). PubMed PMID: 32103722

This is a raw single herb material in Riddhish Herbals' own pack. Any AYUSH or GMP mark would appear on the physical pack — we state such marks only where verified on the pack.
Which part of the plant is this?
This pack is the dried root of the cotton plant, Gossypium herbaceum Linn., ground into a powder — not the seed, leaf or the cotton fibre itself.
Has Gossypium herbaceum been studied scientifically?
Yes — researchers have studied where the plant's characteristic phytochemical, gossypol, is biosynthesised and accumulated, finding the root to be the major site (Zhao T et al., 2020, BMC Plant Biology). This is shared for general educational interest, not as a medical or dosing claim.
