What is Peepal Fruit Powder?

Peepal, or Ficus religiosa, is a revered medicinal tree widely found across India and parts of Asia. The Peepal tree holds a sacred place in Ayurveda and traditional Indian medicine. Its fruit—small, fig-like, and rich in natural compounds—is sun-dried and finely ground into a potent herbal powder.

The fruit of the Peepal tree is known for its cooling, digestive, and rejuvenating properties. Packed with natural enzymes, minerals, and beneficial compounds, this powder is a versatile supplement for holistic health and well-being.
