Mulethi Powder / Athimathuram Podi
Athimathuram, or Licorice, is one of the most scientifically studied botanicals for its demulcent properties—meaning it creates a protective "filmic" layer over irritated tissues. While synthetic lozenges often just numb the throat, Ayini Athimathuram Powder works biologically to soothe the mucosal linings of the respiratory and digestive tracts. It contains Glycyrrhizin, which has powerful anti-inflammatory and anti-viral effects. At Ayini, we source the most succulent roots to ensure a high concentration of natural sugars and glycyrrhetinic acid, providing a sweet-tasting remedy that supports your body’s natural healing barriers.
