Dried Manjistha Root (Rubia Cordifolia)
Native of Natural offers Premium Dried Manjistha Root (Rubia cordifolia), one of the most famous and highly respected herbs in Ayurveda, where it is known as Rakta Shodhaka (blood purifier). This root is revered for its deep, rich red coloring properties and its traditional use in supporting the lymphatic system, detoxification, and clear, healthy skin.
The root contains powerful compounds, mainly Anthraquinones (like Rubiadin and Purpurin), which are responsible for both the dye quality and its potent therapeutic actions. Our dried Manjistha roots are carefully sourced and processed to ensure maximum concentration of these active cleansing constituents.
