Arand Root Powder

Arand Mool Powder is the finely milled, dehydrated root of the castor plant (Ricinus communis). Unlike castor oil — which is pressed from the seeds — Arand Mool refers specifically to the root portion of the plant that is cleaned, sun- or oven-dried and ground to a uniform fine powder. In Ayurveda and traditional Indian herbal practice it is valued as one of the classical roots (moola) used for balancing doshas and as an ingredient in compound formulations. everAyu+1

Traditional & contemporary uses:
In Ayurvedic pharmacopeia and folk medicine, Arand Mool is used in both internal and external applications. Traditional uses include support for digestive health (used as a gentle laxative or to relieve constipation in prescribed formulations), symptomatic relief of joint and muscular pain (used externally as poultices, pastes or in medicated oils), and as a component of classical root mixtures such as Dashamoola (the “ten roots” formulations) where it contributes to anti-inflammatory and vata-balancing effects. Contemporary herbal product makers also include Arand Mool in poultices, herbal pastes, bath blends and certain external pain-relief preparations. As with many Ayurvedic herbs, recommended dosing and formulations should be guided by a qualified practitioner. srisatymev.com+1

Quality, specification & processing:
High-quality Arand Mool Powder is produced from mature, healthy roots. Proper processing includes thorough cleaning to remove soil, controlled drying to preserve active constituents, and fine grinding with sieving (typical mesh sizes: 80–120). Good manufacturers provide the following documentation: botanical identification (Latin name), percentage of foreign matter, moisture content, pack date/expiry (typical shelf life 12–36 months depending on packaging), and a Certificate of Analysis (COA) confirming microbial limits and absence of heavy metals or pesticide residues where required for export or therapeutic use. Product claims should be backed by lab testing if intended for medicinal use.

Manufacturer / Supplier / Wholesaler information (Rajasthan, India):
Rajasthan is an important market and trade hub for castor raw materials and related herbal products. Several herb processors and herbal trading houses in India list Arand Mool (castor root) among their product lines and operate production or distribution channels that serve domestic and export markets. Regional B2B marketplaces and herb manufacturers that handle castor roots and powders include suppliers who publish product pages and capacity details, and wholesale traders in Rajasthan (Kota and other trading centers are known castor commodity hubs). When sourcing in Rajasthan, buyers commonly work with: (a) manufacturers — processors that clean, dry and mill roots and provide COAs; (b) suppliers — companies that aggregate and trade product in smaller commercial consignments; and (c) wholesalers — firms that hold inventory and sell bulk lots to exporters, Ayurvedic formulators and cosmetic manufacturers.
