Dried Kapoor Kachri Rhizome (Hedychium Spicatum)Native of Natural offers Premium Dried Kapoor Kachri Rhizome (Hedychium spicatum), commonly known as Spiked Ginger Lily or Perfume Ginger. In Ayurveda, this aromatic root is highly valued as a natural anti-Kapha agent, respiratory tonic, and aromatic cosmetic ingredient, particularly for hair care.
The rhizomes (often referred to as roots) are the most useful part, possessing a strong, fragrant aroma due to high concentrations of Essential Oils (Cineole, Borneol). They are traditionally used to clear respiratory channels and promote a healthy scalp and luxuriant hair growth.
