Gaurveda Kalmegh Powder 100g – Andrographis paniculata

Gaurveda Kalmegh – 100g of kalmegh powder (Andrographis paniculata), also known as King of bitters, bhunimba, chirayta (green). A vegan food supplement, sourced from India and batch lab-tested for purity.

Kalmegh is a slender annual herb of the Indian subcontinent whose every part – leaf, stem and all – is intensely bitter, earning it the title king of bitters. The name kalmegh itself means dark cloud, after the plant’s appearance in the fields during monsoon. The herb naturally contains andrographolides, the diterpene lactone compounds that serve as its quality markers and the source of that famous bitterness. This pack contains the pure ground herb and nothing else.

Kalmegh appears in classical Ayurvedic practice and in regional folk traditions across South and Southeast Asia, always with its bitterness at the centre of its identity. UK regulations authorise no health claims for andrographis, so we describe the herb, its chemistry and its traditional standing factually – no promises, just a genuinely remarkable bitter herb.
