Description

What is it

Vasambu (Acorus calamus), sweet flag, is known as Vacha in Sanskrit and bach in Hindi. It is a marsh plant whose knotty, aromatic rhizome has a sharp, spicy fragrance.

Vasambu has a long place in Siddha tradition, where it has always been used carefully and in very small amounts. Today, our powder is offered for traditional external and household use.

What Makes This Different

• Rhizome only. Made from the dried vasambu rhizome, nothing else.
• Strongly aromatic. Dried and milled to keep its sharp, spicy fragrance.
• Single ingredient. 100% vasambu rhizome, with no fillers, flavouring or blending agents.

What It Does

• A traditional Siddha herb. Valued in Siddha practice, always used with care.
• A traditional household helper. Pieces of vasambu have long been kept in rice and grain tins, and among stored clothes, to keep insects away.
• A distinctive fragrance. Sharp, warm and spicy.
• Known far beyond India. Acorus plants were also known to ancient Greek and Chinese herbalists, prized for their fragrance.

A Fragrant Marsh Root With a Long History

Vasambu has been a quiet fixture of Tamil homes for generations, tucked into grain tins and storage boxes. FounditGood Vasambu Root Powder continues that household tradition.

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.
