Kandangathiri Powder (Kantakari)

Yellow-berried nightshade — the classical herb for a heavy chest.

Why it matters

Kandangathiri (kantakari) is a respiratory herb of long Siddha use. Taken as directed, it is traditionally used to support respiratory wellness, the easing of cold and cough and kapha management — the tradition's answer to a congested season.

What's inside

Solanum xanthocarpum.

How to use

Mix ½–1 teaspoon (2–5 g) in warm water, honey or buttermilk once or twice daily, preferably before food — or as directed by a Siddha physician.
