Dried Nagarmotha Root / Tuber (Cyperus Scariosus/Rotundus)Native of Natural offers Premium Dried Nagarmotha Root/Tuber (Cyperus scariosus or Cyperus rotundus), one of the most essential and widely used herbs in Ayurveda, where it is primarily known for its powerful digestive, carminative, and anti-Pitta properties. It is often referred to as the “nut-grass” root.
The dried tubers (or rhizomes) are the valuable part used, possessing a distinct, earthy, pleasant aromatic scent due to high concentrations of Essential Oils (like Cyperene and $alpha$-Cyperone). Our roots are carefully sourced and dried to ensure maximum retention of these aromatic and therapeutic compounds, making them a staple for formulations targeting gut health and detoxification.
