About Paruthi Koodu (Cotton Plant)

Known botanically as Gossypium hirsutum, Cotton or Paruthi Koodu is a widely cultivated plant valued for its fibers as well as its medicinal properties. This hardy plant grows up to 5 feet tall and features distinctive heart-shaped, lobed leaves. The cotton plant produces white to yellowish flowers, followed by prickly capsules containing seeds surrounded by soft lint. Paruthi has been an integral part of traditional medicine and everyday life across cultures, especially in India and other regions.

Traditional Health Benefits of Dried Paruthi

The juice extracted from crushed cotton blossoms acts as a natural ointment, accelerating the healing of burns, wounds, and skin inflammations by reducing swelling and preventing infections.

Natural Antidote for Toxins:
Red cotton boll juice is traditionally used as an antidote for insect and snake bites. Consuming filtered juice several times a day helps detoxify and neutralize harmful poisons.
