Panchvalkal Kwath from Riddhish Herbals is a classical Ayurvedic decoction powder made from the bark of five classical trees — Vata/Banyan (Ficus benghalensis), Udumbara/Fig (Ficus racemosa), Ashvattha/Peepal (Ficus religiosa), Plaksha (Ficus lacor) and Parisha (Thespesia populnea). Ayurvedic texts group these five barks together for their traditional Kashaya (astringent), Ropana (tissue-recovery) and Grahi (binding) action, used within physician-guided skin and wound-care routines. Each pack is genuine, bill-provided material from a doctor-guided store operating since 2015.
About Panchvalkal Kwath
Panchvalkal — literally "five barks" — is a classical Ayurvedic grouping of astringent tree barks referenced in traditional Ayurvedic surgical and gynaecological literature for external washes and physician-guided internal use. Riddhish Herbals prepares this Kwath (decoction powder) from the bark of five Moraceae-family trees traditionally combined for their shared astringent, tissue-recovery qualities.
The powder is meant to be boiled into a Kwath (decoction) rather than taken directly — the classical method for extracting the bark's astringent constituents. Every order comes with a bill, and the formula is used within physician-guided Ayurvedic routines, where a Vaidya sets the exact preparation, strength and use (internal or external) for the individual.
Traditional Ayurvedic Importance
Classical Ayurvedic texts describe the Panchavalkala (five-bark) group as Kashaya (astringent) in Rasa, valued for Ropana (tissue-recovery) and Grahi (binding) action. The five barks — Vata, Udumbara, Ashvattha, Plaksha and Parisha — are traditionally decocted together and used, under physician guidance, as an external wash in classical Vrana (wound) and Yoni (gynaecological) care protocols, and occasionally internally.
Udumbara (Ficus racemosa) bark in particular has also been the subject of modern research on its tissue-recovery-related constituents (see Research & Scientific References below).

Research on the Constituents
◆ Udumbara (Ficus racemosa), one of the five barks in this classical formulation, was studied for active bark constituents (lupeol and β-sitosterol) that showed cell-migration-enhancing activity in tissue-recovery models — supporting its traditional Ropana use — (Bopage NS et al., 2018 — BMC Complementary and Alternative Medicine, 18:29).
