Kokum Ghee (Kokum Butter) from Riddhish Herbals is the natural solid fat pressed from the kernels of Garcinia indica Choisy (Clusiaceae) — known in Sanskrit as Vrikshamla, in Marathi and Konkani as Kokam or Amsul, and in Gujarati as Kokam. It is a traditional external-use butter in Ayurvedic and natural skin-care practice, valued as Snigdha (emollient) for its naturally firm texture that melts on contact with skin. Each pack is genuine, bill-provided material from a doctor-guided store operating since 2015.
About Kokum Ghee (Garcinia indica Kernel Butter)
Kokum — known in Sanskrit as Vrikshamla and in Marathi/Konkani as Kokam or Amsul — is a fruit native to India's Western Ghats. Kokum Ghee (Kokum Butter) is the natural solid fat pressed from its kernels, distinct from the sour dried fruit rind used in Konkani cuisine.
Riddhish Herbals supplies it as single-material Kokum Ghee with a bill on every order, for external skin and hair care use as part of a natural, doctor-guided wellness routine.
Traditional Ayurvedic Importance
Kokum kernel fat has long been used in Western Indian household and classical external-application routines, valued for its Snigdha (emollient, unctuous) quality and its naturally firm-yet-melting texture on skin.
It is chosen within general skin and hair care routines as a natural emollient base, rather than as a claim for any specific modern condition.
