Description

Mooli Khar is the classical Ayurvedic Kshara (alkaline ash extract) prepared from the stem and leaves of Raphanus sativus — the radish — through a multi-step process of drying, incineration, water extraction, and filtration as described in the Sushruta Samhita’s Kshara-karma chapter. This preparation yields a pale yellowish-grey, strongly alkaline powder or solution with a pH typically exceeding 8.5. In classical Ayurveda, Mulaka Kshara is cited as an important agent for urinary-tract and kidney wellness and abdominal comfort. The Kshara system of Ayurvedic preparation is one of the most sophisticated pharmaceutical processes in indigenous South Asian medicine, converting plant materials into a bioavailable alkaline form. This product is distinct from Mooli Beej (radish seed) entered separately.
