Description

What is it

Rub a karpooravalli leaf (Plectranthus amboinicus) between your fingers and you’ll understand its name at once: a sharp, camphor-and-ajwain fragrance that clings to your hands. In English it is called Indian borage, and in Sanskrit Parnayavani.

Its thick, fleshy, velvety leaves grow in pots on countless South Indian windowsills, ready for karpooravalli bajji, rasam and kashayam. Siddha tradition values it for respiratory and seasonal wellness. Our powder is made from the leaves alone.

What Makes This Different

• Leaf only. Made from karpooravalli leaves alone.
• Aroma first. Carefully dried to keep the leaf’s camphor-like fragrance.
• Single ingredient. 100% Karpooravalli leaf, with no fillers, flavouring or blending agents.

What It Does

• A Siddha herb for the cooler months. Traditionally valued for respiratory and seasonal wellness.
• A windowsill favourite. Used in rasam, bajji batter and warm kashayam.
• A bold, aromatic flavour. Like oregano and thyme with a hint of camphor.
• Famous on the other side of the world. The same plant is cooked across the Caribbean and Latin America, where it’s known as Cuban oregano.

The FounditGood Promise

For more than a decade, from our home in Pollachi at the foot of the Western Ghats, we have prepared Siddha and Ayurvedic herbs for families across India and customers in many countries around the world. Every pouch carries the same quiet promise: the right herb, prepared the right way.

• Traditional knowledge, carried forward. We prepare each herb the way South Indian tradition intends: the right plant part, cleaned, dried and processed with care.
• Sourcing we can stand behind. A deeply integrated supply chain, built over years with growers and gatherers we know, keeps every herb traceable and every batch consistent.
• Stone-ground, in small batches. Our herbs are ground slowly on stone and in small quantities, so each batch is carefully watched from start to finish.
• Clean label, clean process. Nothing added, nothing hidden: no fillers, colours, flavours or preservatives, made in an FSSAI Central Licensed, GMP-compliant, ISO 22000-certified facility.
• Independently checked. Our products are periodically tested by independent third-party laboratories.
• An ethical commitment. Honest labels, careful work and a refusal to cut corners on quality, because we would rather make less than make it worse.
• Appreciated by those who use it. Customers at home and abroad keep coming back, and their trust is the standard we hold ourselves to.
