Kalmegh — Natural Herb & Powder

Kalmegh is dried herbal material listed as Andrographis paniculata, available in Natural or Powder, each in 100 g, 200 g, 400 g or 900 g. It is raw herb material, not syrup, drops, a mother tincture, a live plant or a standardized extract.

Choose the form and verify the part

Natural is unground dried material and Powder is ground material. This listing specifies aerial part, but the photographs show long stems with root-like portions. A photograph cannot authenticate a plant or settle the supplied part: confirm the current batch if you require aerial-only material. No verified powder photograph, stem-to-leaf ratio or andrographolide concentration is provided. Select form and weight to see current price and stock.

Botanical identity and names

Kew accepts Andrographis paniculata. IISc India Flora records regional plant names. These names identify the reference plant; they do not authenticate an individual supplier lot. Green Chiretta is a reference common name for Kalmegh; a product sold as Chirayta should not automatically be treated as the same herb.

Ayurvedic and traditional context

The PCIM&H Ayurvedic Pharmacopoeia catalogue indexes Kālamegha aerial part under Andrographis paniculata. CCRAS also documents Kalmegh/Bhunimba in its herbal garden reference. Such references establish traditional context, not a medicinal dose, certified pack specification or promised result. No exact verse, Ayurvedic property profile or extract strength is asserted here.

Use, precautions and storage

Match the actual supplied part and form to your intended preparation and follow applicable pack instructions or qualified guidance. Do not substitute a syrup, tincture or concentrated extract dose for raw herb. For medicinal use, pregnancy, breastfeeding, children, medicines or a medical condition, ask a qualified practitioner about suitability. This listing promises no liver, blood-sugar, immunity or other treatment result.

Store tightly sealed, cool and dry, away from moisture and direct sunlight. Use clean, dry utensils and reject damp, mouldy or contaminated material.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is Kalmegh called in English and botanically?

Green Chiretta is a reference English name. The listed botanical identity is Andrographis paniculata. A trade name or photograph alone does not verify the supplied species or batch.

Are Kalmegh and Chirayta the same?

Do not treat them as interchangeable simply because both have bitter-herb trade names. This Kalmegh listing refers to Andrographis paniculata. Check the botanical name and plant part of any Chirayta product before substituting it.

Should I choose Natural or Powder?

Natural is unground dried material; Powder is ground material. Choose the form required by your preparation. Neither is sold here as a standardized extract, syrup, drops or mother tincture.

Does this pack contain only aerial parts?

The listing specifies aerial part, while the photographs show stems and root-like portions. Aerial-only composition and the current batch’s leaf-to-stem ratio are not verified; contact the store before ordering when a strict part specification matters.

Can Kalmegh be used for fatty liver or blood-sugar problems?

This raw herb listing does not establish treatment effectiveness or an individual medicinal dose. Discuss the condition and current medicines with a qualified healthcare or Ayurvedic professional; do not replace prescribed care.

How much should I use, and how should I store it?

Follow the actual pack instructions and qualified guidance for the intended preparation. No universal medicinal quantity or dried-herb-to-extract conversion is given. Keep cool, dry and tightly sealed, and reject mouldy material.

Which pack sizes are available?

Natural and Powder each offer 100 g, 200 g, 400 g and 900 g. Select form and weight for current price and availability. A 1 kg pack is not listed.
