About Ragat Rohido Churna

Ragat Rohido Churna is prepared from the dried, powdered bark of Tecomella undulata (Rohida), the state tree of Rajasthan, also found across Gujarat's arid regions. Classically referenced as Rohitaka, this bark has a long-standing place in desert-region Ayurvedic and folk practice.

This is a single-ingredient raw material rather than a finished proprietary medicine — it is typically taken as directed by a Vaidya, with a bill provided on every order.

Traditional Ayurvedic Importance

Bhavaprakasha Nighantu (Vatadi varga), Dhanvantari Nighantu (Amradi varga), Kaiyadeva Nighantu (Oushadhi varga) and Raja Nighantu (Shalmalyadi varga) all describe Rohitaka. Its classical synonym Plihaghna ("that which acts on Pleeha/spleen") and Raktaprasadana ("blood-clarifying") reflect its traditional textual associations. Classically it is described as Katu-Tikta-Kashaya (pungent, bitter, astringent) in Rasa, light and dry in Guna, cold in Virya, and Kapha-Pitta shamaka (balancing to vitiated Kapha and Pitta). Some classical and regional sources also associate Rohitaka with Yakrit (liver) wellness context and with Kamala (classically described jaundice-adjacent condition) and Pleeha-vikara (classically described spleen-adjacent condition) — these are traditional textual descriptions of classical record, cited here with their textual source, not modern medical claims or promises of benefit for any named disease.

Note: pharmacognostic literature records that more than one botanical source has historically been traded under the name "Rohitaka" in different regions (Tecomella undulata in the west/northwest; Rhododendron arboreum bark in some hill-region trade). Riddhish Herbals' Ragat Rohido Churna is confirmed as Tecomella undulata, consistent with its Gujarati name and its identity as the state tree of Rajasthan.
