Bixa Apamarga – 200g of apamarga powder (Achyranthes aspera), also known as Prickly chaff flower, chirchita, latjeera. A vegan food supplement, sourced from India and batch lab-tested for purity.

Apamarga is one of those plants every Indian villager knows: a hardy roadside herb with rough leaves and long flower spikes whose barbed seeds hitch rides on passing clothes and cattle – hence the English name prickly chaff flower. Unglamorous as it looks, it is a genuine classical herb, appearing across the Ayurvedic texts, and its seeds were historically even cooked as a famine grain. The whole herb is dried and ground for this pack; nothing else is added.

Apamarga features in classical Ayurvedic literature, including in the traditional kshara (alkaline preparation) crafts, and it carries centuries of folk familiarity across the subcontinent. UK regulations authorise no health claims for apamarga, so we present its classical standing and its rather charming botany factually.
