Sweet Flag Powder / Vasambu Podi
Vasambu, or Sweet Flag, is often called the "Pillai Valarpann" (the herb that raises children) in traditional Tamil households because of its profound protective biological properties. While many modern digestive aids focus on neutralising acid, Ayini Sweet Flag Powder works as a Carminative and Nervine Tonic. It contains Acorin, a bitter principle that biologically stimulates the digestive fire (Agni) while simultaneously calming the nervous system. At Ayini, we use organic, aged rhizomes that are meticulously cleaned and processed to ensure the aromatic essential oils—responsible for its unique "earthy-sweet" scent and medicinal potency—remain fully intact.
