Title: Eladi Choornam 25g – Authentic Ayurvedic Herbal Powder from India
Description:
Eladi Choornam is a time-honored Ayurvedic herbal powder, its formulation dating back to ancient Ayurvedic texts like Ashtanga Hrudaya. This potent blend features cardamom (Elaichi) as a key ingredient, a spice known for its therapeutic properties. Cardamom, a perennial tropical plant from the ginger family, contributes to the powder’s remarkable effects.
