Ritha Churna (100 Gm) - Dhanvantari Herbals
Reetha powder, also known as Soapnut or Aritha powder, is derived from the dried fruit of the soapnut tree (Sapindus mukorossi). It has been a staple in traditional Indian and Ayurvedic medicine for centuries, particularly in natural hair and skin care.
Here's a breakdown of its key properties and uses:
Benefits
- Natural Cleanser: Reetha powder is rich in saponins, which are natural surfactants that create a mild lather and gently cleanse the hair and scalp, removing dirt, oil, and impurities without stripping away natural oils. This makes it suitable for various hair types, including those with sensitive scalps.
- Hair Conditioner: It helps to condition the hair and scalp, leading to softer, smoother, and more manageable hair with improved texture and shine.
- Promotes Hair Growth: Regular use can encourage healthy hair growth by keeping the scalp clean and free from buildup, which can obstruct hair follicles.
- Dandruff Relief: The antimicrobial properties of reetha powder can help alleviate dandruff and other scalp infections.
- Skin Cleanser: Reetha can also be used as a natural cleanser for the skin, potentially helping to remove dirt, excess oil, and impurities without causing dryness or irritation.
- Other potential uses: May be beneficial for managing skin infections like eczema, psoriasis, and pimples. It has also been explored as a natural laundry detergent and insect repellent.
How to use
- As a shampoo: Mix Reetha powder with warm water to create a paste. Apply it to your wet scalp and hair, gently massage, and rinse thoroughly. For extra cleansing, you can add Shikakai powder.
- As a hair mask: Combine Reetha powder with other ingredients like yogurt, honey, or amla powder for a nourishing hair mask. Apply it to damp hair and scalp, leave it for 15-20 minutes, and then rinse thoroughly.
- As a hair rinse: Steep Reetha powder in hot water for 10 minutes, strain, and let it cool. Use this liquid as a final rinse after shampooing for added manageability and shine.
