Kapur Kachri (White Turmeric / Kachur) is a traditional Ayurvedic herb valued for its aromatic, medicinal, and cosmetic benefits.

In Ayurveda, Kapur Kachri is praised for being Dipana (improves digestion), Rochana (enhances appetite), Kapha-Vatahara (balances excess Kapha and Vata), Shiroshoolahara (relieves headache), and Keshya (promotes hair health). Traditionally, it is used for stimulating hair growth, reducing dandruff, and keeping the scalp healthy, while its natural fragrance leaves hair fresh and aromatic. It is also beneficial for skin care, appetite improvement, respiratory health, and relieving minor pain or congestion. With its unique blend of healing and rejuvenating properties, Kapur Kachri is a versatile herb for both internal wellness and external beauty care.
