🔹 DESCRIPTION

In Ayurveda, balance is the foundation of long-term wellbeing. Riddhish Herbals Katho Churna is prepared from carefully selected bark of Acacia catechu, a tree deeply respected in traditional Indian wellness systems for its natural astringent qualities and grounding nature.

Katho, also known as Catechu or Cutch, has been described in classical Ayurvedic texts as a substance that supports internal stability when used thoughtfully. Its naturally bitter and earthy taste reflects its traditional association with digestive discipline and oral freshness rituals. In earlier times, it was commonly included in herbal blends, paan preparations, and self-care practices that focused on cleanliness, balance, and moderation.

Designed for today’s wellness-conscious individuals, this churna fits seamlessly into a modern routine where irregular meals, fast-paced schedules, and seasonal changes can challenge inner harmony. When taken in small quantities with suitable anupana such as warm water or honey, it may complement mindful eating habits and daily self-care practices.

Riddhish Herbals follows a clean-label philosophy, offering this product as a single-ingredient herbal powder, allowing users to experience Katho in its most traditional form. It contains no unnecessary additives, making it suitable for those who prefer simple, transparent Ayurvedic products.

This product is not positioned as a treatment or cure, but as a gentle addition to an overall wellness-focused lifestyle that includes balanced nutrition, adequate rest, and conscious living—core principles of Ayurveda’s preventive and promotive approach to health.
