Mulethi powder is a classical herbal remedy with numerous health benefits. It is made from the roots of the mulethi plant, which are cut into pieces and dried under direct sunlight for a week or so until there is no moisture left. The dried roots are then ground in a grinder till it becomes a fine powder. Here are some of the benefits and uses of mulethi powder:

• For skin: Mulethi powder has skin lightening properties and can be used to treat hyperpigmentation. It is also used in face packs to treat acne, blemishes, and dark circles.

• For hair: Mulethi powder boosts blood circulation in the scalp and hair follicles, which might help in the growth of new hair. It also stops hair fall, sudden hair breakage, and arrests premature greying of hair.

• For health: Mulethi powder has antibacterial and antimicrobial properties, making it an excellent ingredient to reduce the growth of bacteria in the mouth that leads to bad breath and odour. Brushing teeth with mulethi powder prevents cavities and plaque, thereby keeping your gums and teeth healthy. It also boosts immunity, ensures smooth functioning of the liver, kidney, and adrenal glands, and helps regulate hormones.

Mulethi powder can be consumed in various ways, such as mixing it with honey to bring relief in dry cough, or boiling it with water and grated ginger to make tea. Mulethi powder should be stored in a cool, dry place, and after opening the container, it should be stored in airtight containers to prevent moisture loss.
