Vacha Powder

In Sanskrit, Vacha means ‘speech or clear voice.’ Ancient Ayurvedic practitioners labeled this herb as Vacha due to its soothing and calming effects on our voice. They soon discovered that this pungent plant has several other health benefits too. For instance, it can restore skin health, which is why it is traditionally used after self-oil massage (abhyanga) or during panchakarma. The latter is an ancient practice that consists of five actions that help maintain an optimal balance between mind, body, and emotions.

Using Vacha regularly provides similar support to our physical and mental health.
