Sarsaparilla is a natural coolant and blood purifier

Anantmool, also known as Indian Sarsaparilla (sariva, sugandhi) is a detoxifying, cooling and rejuvenating ayurvedic herb. Particularly effective in pacifying pitta dosha, it helps reduce excess heat and inflammation in the body, while also having a soothing effect on aggravated vata dosha. Often used as a natural blood purifier, anantmool cleanses the skin, helping to relieve acne, eczema and other skin irritations. It also supports balanced digestion, nourishes reproductive tissues and promotes hormonal balance. Anantmool’s sweet, cooling energy not only cleanses toxins, but also has a calming effect on the mind, helping to relieve stress and restore emotional balance. Pacifies all three doshas.

What is Anantmool or Sarsaparilla?

Dried, ground powder made from the roots of the plant Hemidesmus Indica. Anantmool is Sanskrit for ‘eternal root‘, and its Hindi name is ‘sugandhi‘ meaning ‘fragrant‘. It is a slender creeping plant with long red roots and a sweet, aromatic fragrance. The red colour indicates the connection with the blood and is used mainly to treat problems related to heat or toxins in the blood. It helps remove excess pitta (heat) from the joints, nervous system, digestive and reproductive organs. It is a tropical plant that has been used for centuries in traditional medicinal systems, including Ayurveda, to treat skin, musculoskeletal, urinary and hormonal (male and female) problems.
